A small object carrying a charge of -4.00 nC is acted upon by a downward force of 19.0 nN when placed at a certain point in an e

lectric field.
A) What are the magnitude and direction of the electric field at the point in question? (Answer in N/C)

C) What would be the magnitude and direction of the force acting on a proton placed at this same point in the electric field?(Answer in N)

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.

erik [133]

When driving on roads that may be slippery, do not make any sudden changes in speed or direction. Option D is correct.

<h3 /><h3>What is a slippery surface?</h3>

The slick road sign serves as a warning.  When the road is wet or ice, drivers should use extra caution and reduce their speed. When the weather is bad, avoid making any rapid changes in direction.

When driving on roads that may be slippery, do not make any sudden changes in speed or direction. It may cause accident because the vehicle can lose their balance.

Hence, option D is correct.

If your weight is 120 pounds and your mass is 54 kilograms how would those values change if you were on the moon
BlackZzzverrR [31]
The gravitation acceleration on the moon is different than on Earth. It is 1.6 m/s^2. If you weigh 120 lbs, then you would multiply 120 pounds by the gravitational acceleration on the moon and then divide by the acceleration on Earth.

(120 lbs * 1.6) / 9.8 = 20 pounds.

The mass will always be the same no matter what planet you’re on, so it’s still 54 kg.

Explanation
During the day when temperatures are higher, the snow melts and water enters the cracks in the rock. When the temperature drops below 0°C the water in the crack freezes and expands by about 9 per cent. This makes the crack larger.
