An electron remains suspended between the surface of the Earth (assumed neutral) and a fixed positive point charge, at a distanc

e of 8.88 m from the point charge. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 and the value of Coulomb's constant is 8.98755 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2. Determine the charge required for this to happen. Mass of electron is 9.10939 x 10^-31 kg.

To solve this problem we will apply the concept related to the balance of forces. Here the electrostatic force defined by Coulomb's laws must be proportional to the weight of the electron, defined by Newton's second law, so that such balance exists, both can be described as:

F_e = \frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}

Here,

q_1 = Charge required

q_2 =Charge of electron

d = Distance

k = Coulomb's constant

F_w = mg

Here,

m = mass

g = Gravitational acceleration

In equilibrium the sum  of Force is zero, then,

\sum F = 0

F_e = F_w

\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2} = mg

\frac{(8.98755*10^9 )(q_1)(1.6*10^{-19})}{8.8^2} = (9.8)(9.10939*10^{-31} )

q_1 = 4.8075*10^{-19}C

Therefore the charge required for this to happen is 4.8075*10^{-19}C

What do you have to do to become faster at running?
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer: Get stronger. Strength is critical to running fast because the more force you can exert against the ground the faster you can run.

Apply your new strength. Being strong is important for sprinting, but the ability to apply it is even more important. Sprinters move in a horizontal direction.

Take longer steps more quickly. Today, the concept of exerting more force against the ground is very popular for improving speed. ...

Run fast to get fast. Of all the strategies described in this article, this is the most important and often the most overlooked.

A small bug is lying resting when nine ants simultaneously ambush it and begin pulling it in different directions. They are each
xxMikexx [17]

Answer: The bug will remain motionless

Explanation:

According to Newton's first Law of Motion (sometimes called Law of Inertia):

<em>An object at rest or describing a uniform straight line motion (moving at constant velocity), will remain at rest or moving unless an external force is applied to it and changes its state of rest or motion. </em>

In other words:

An object or body will keep its state of motion until an external force changes its state

This means that objects tend to remain in its state of motion, and is the definition of the inertia, as well.

In addition, according to his law, an object in rest can be in equilibrium (net force equals to zero), and a moving object can also be in equilibrium, as long as it keeps a constant velocity.

<h2>This is why the bug, which is at rest will remain at rest, although the ants are simultaneously pulling it in different directions, since the resultant of all these forces is zero.</h2>

The value of the surface area of the cylinder is equal to the value of the volume of the cylinder. Find the value of x.
max2010maxim [7]

The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula v=pi r^2h, where r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height.

<h3>What Does a Cylinder's Surface Area Look Like?</h3>

The overall area or region that the surface of a cylinder covers is referred to as its surface area. A cylinder's total surface area includes both the area of the curved surface and the area of the two flat surfaces because there are two flat surfaces and one curved surface. A cylinder's surface area is measured in square units like m2, in2, cm2, yd2, etc.

<h3>What is the cylinder's total surface area?</h3>

The sum of the curved surface areas makes up the cylinder's overall surface area.
