Answer:

Electric field, E=-7.35\times 10^5\ N/C in the direction of gravity.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the ball, m = 0.15 g

Charge on the ball, q=-2\ nC=-2\times 10^{-9}\ C

The ball is placed inside a uniform electric field, and is suspended against the force of gravity such that,

mg=qE

E=\dfrac{mg}{q}

E=\dfrac{0.15\times 10^{-3}\times 9.8}{-2\times 10^{-9}}

E=-7.35\times 10^5\ N/C

The electric field will be acting in the direction of gravity. Hence, this is the required solution.

A proton is 0.9 meters away from a 1.4 C charge. What is the magnitude of the electric force between the proton and the charge
Digiron [165]

Answer:

F = 2.49 x 10⁻⁹ N

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charged bodies is given by Colomb's Law:

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\

where,

F = Electrostatic Force = ?

k = colomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²

q₁ = charge on proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

q₂ = second charge = 1.4 C

r = distace between charges = 0.9 m

Therefore,

F = \frac{(9\ x\ 10^9\ N.m^2/C^2)(1.6\ x\ 10^{-19}\ C)(1.4\ C)}{(0.9\ m)^2}

<u>F = 2.49 x 10⁻⁹ N</u>

An object with a mass of 25 kg object is moving at 30 m/s. What is the
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: 750 kgm/s

Explanation:

Mass of object = 25 kg

Speed by which object moves =30 m/s. Linear momentum of the object = ?

Since momentum refers to the quantity of motion of the moving object,

Linear momentum = Mass x Speed

= 25kg x 30m/s

= 750 kgm/s

Thus, the linear momentum of the object is 750 kgm/s

according to newton's second law of motion of the net force acting on the object increases while the mass of the object remains
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

The Acceleration will increase

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law of motion: It states that the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes places along the direction of the force.

It can be expressed mathematically as,

F ∝ m(v-u)/t

Where (v-u)/t = a

F  = kma.

F = force, m = mass of the body, a = acceleration, k = constant of proportionality which tend to unity for a unit force, a unit mass, and a unit acceleration.

Therefore,

F = ma.

From the equation above,

If the net force acting on a body increase, while the mass of the body remains constant, the acceleration will also increase.

I NEED HELP THIS DUE TODAY! ”What are 12 facts about ENERGY?” 50 points if answered!!
romanna [79]

Answer:

The average U.S. home uses about 11,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year.

Electricity travels at the speed of light – over 186,000 miles per second.

Electricity can be produced from fossil fuels, large hydro power plants, nuclear power plants, or renewables like wind or solar.

Birds and other small animals can perch on power lines without being electrocuted unless they simultaneously touch another line, which would create a complete circuit.

For electricity to come into your home, it travels from generation facilities to a high-voltage switchyard, to transmission lines, to a substation, to a distribution line, to a transformer, to your house.

Geothermal energy comes from the Earth. It consists of hot water and hot rock that’s just a few miles beneath the Earth’s surface, and can go even deeper to very hot molten rock called magma. It’s considered clean and sustainable.

Renewable energy comes from perpetual sources like wind, solar or geothermal. Most electricity, though, is produced from nonrenewable sources like fossil fuels (coal, crude oil, natural gas, and uranium). They are nonrenewable because there is a finite amount of them that were formed from buried remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. They cannot be replenished the way renewable energy sources can.  

In the U.S., the areas most favorable for geothermal energy use are in Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico. Geothermal plants are located where water has seeped into the Earth’s crust, and they force the water back up through permeable rock.

Saving energy can be as simple as switching from incandescent light bulbs to CFL or LED versions.  

About 40 percent of energy from all resources is used for electricity, which means that our resources are used more for that purpose than for any other.

 

CFL bulbs consume 80% less electricity than standard bulbs

Natural Gas Facts

When we think about energy facts, we usually focus on electricity, but our homes use natural gas, too! Natural gas is a gaseous mixture of hydrocarbon compounds used as fuel to generate electricity. In order to be used in your home, it must first be processed and converted into dry natural gas. To learn more about its use in your home, check out the natural gas facts below.

 

10 Facts about Natural Gas

The main component of natural gas is methane, with butane, propane, ethane, or pentane sometimes included.

The “rotten egg” smell of natural gas is actually added by power companies so that your nose can detect a gas leak. In its initial state, natural gas is colorless and nearly odorless.

Most natural gas is delivered via pipeline; there are enormous networks that deliver it to processing facilities, which then transport it to the end consumer. Along the route, there are compressors and metering stations to monitor pressure, flow, and leaks.

When natural gas is transported between countries, it travels by ship in liquid form. This way, it takes up less volume. Once it reaches land, it is regasified (or returned to gas form) and sent to the pipelines for distribution.

In the U.S., there are more than 2.5 million miles of pipeline used for transporting natural gas directly into homes and businesses.

It’s reported that 85 percent of the natural gas consumed in the United States is produced domestically.

Energy facts suggest that natural gas is one of the cleanest choices for fossil fuels. It produces less carbon and pollution than other fossil fuels.

The natural gas and oil industry employs nearly 10.3 million Americans. That’s equals to about 5.6 percent of all of U.S. employment.

Approximately 66 million homes and 5 million businesses in the U.S. use natural gas as an energy source.

This is one of the more important natural gas facts: transportation is one of the most difficult and fragile aspects to its use. Because the main component to natural gas is methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas, undetected leaks can contribute to climate change.  

The "rotten smell" is added to the natural gas so your nose can detect a gas leak

Answer:

Answer:

3 g/cm          

Explanation:

Mass of stone = 30 g

Initial volume of cylinder = 50 cm

Increased volume = 60 cm

Volume = 60-50

= 10 cm

Density of stone = Mass/Volume

= 30/10

= 3 g/ml            as 1 ml = 1 cm

= 3 g/ml
