The magnitude of the force of friction is 40 N

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we just have to analyze the forces acting on the student and the scooter along the horizontal direction. We have:

- The constant pushing force forward, of magnitude F = 40 N

- The frictional force, acting backward, F_f

Since the two forces are in opposite direction, the equation of motion is

F-F_f = ma

where

m is the mass of the student+scooter

a is the acceleration

However, here the scooter is moving at constant speed: this means that its acceleration is zero, so

a = 0

And therefore,

F - F_f = 0\\F_f = F

which means that the magnitude of the force of friction is also equal to 40 N.

Suppose that the electric field in the Earth's atmosphere is E = 1.16 102 N/C, pointing downward. Determine the electric charge
butalik [34]

Answer:

Electric charge in the earth will be Q=5.231\times 10^5C

Explanation:

We have given that E = 116 N/C

Radius of the earth R = 6371 km = 6371000 m

We have to find the electric charge in the earth '

We know that electric field due to charge is given by E=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{Q}{R^20}=\frac{KQ}{R^2}. here K is coulomb's constant

So  116=\frac{9\times 10^9\times Q}{(6371000)^2}

Q=5.231\times 10^5C

So electric charge in the earth will be Q=5.231\times 10^5C

A wave is traveling through a medium ad it travels it displaces particles of matter in the same direction as the wave is traveli
Tamiku [17]
I think it's longitudinal wave because the particles move parallel to the direction that the wave is traveling.
