Explanation:

Given that,

Charge acting on the object, q=-4\ nC=-4\times 10^{-9}\ C

Force acting on the object, F=19\ nC=19\times 10^{-9}\ C (in downward direction)

(a) The electric force acting in the electric field is given by :

F=qE

E is the electric field

E=\dfrac{F}{q}

E=\dfrac{19\times 10^{-9}\ N}{4\times 10^{-9}\ C}

E = 4.75 N/C

The direction of electric field is as same as electric force. But it is negative charge. So, the direction of electric field is in upward direction.

(b) The charge on the proton is, q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

The force acting on the proton is :

F=qE

F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 4.75

F=7.6\times 10^{-19}\ N

If the charge on the proton is positive, the force on the proton is in upward direction.

Hence, this is the required solution.

An object moving in the xy-plane is subjected to the force f⃗ =(2xyı^ 3yȷ^)n, where x and y are in m
Svetllana [295]

The magnitude of the work done by force experience by the object is (2a²b + 3b²)J.

<h3>Work done by the force experienced  by the object</h3>

The magnitude of the work done by force experience by the object is calculated as follows;

W = f.d

where;

  • F is the applied force (2xyi + 3yj), where x and y are in meters
  • d is the displacement of the object = (a, b)

The work done by the force is determined from the dot product of the force and the displacement of the object.

F = (2xyi + 3yj).(a + b)

W = (2abi + 3bj).(ai + bj)

W = (2a²b + 3b²)J

Thus, the magnitude of the work done by force experience by the object is (2a²b + 3b²)J.

The complete question is below:

The particle moves from the origin to the point with coordinates (a, b) by moving first along the x-axis to (a, 0), then parallel to the y-axis.

How much work does the force do?

The largest watermelon ever grown had a mass of 118 kg. Suppose this watermelon were exhibited on a platform 5.00 m above the gr
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: height = 3.98m

Explanation: by placing the watermelon at a height above the ground, it has a potential energy of the formulae

p = mgh

p = potential energy = 4.61kJ = 4610J

m = mass of watermelon = 118 kg

g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8 m/s²

4610 = 118 * 9.8 * h

h = 4610/ 118 * 9.8

h = 4610/ 1156.4

h = 3.98m
