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

Source localization in ocean acoustics is posed as a machine learning problem in which data-driven methods learn source ranges d
Temka [501]

Source localization in ocean acoustics is posed as a machine learning problem in which data-driven methods learn source ranges directly from observed acoustic data: True.

<h3>What is machine learning?</h3>

Machine learning (ML) is also known as artificial intelligence (AI) and it can be defined as a subfield in computer science which typically focuses on the use of computer algorithms, data-driven techniques (methods) and technologies to develop a smart computer-controlled robot that has the ability to automatically perform and manage tasks that are exclusively meant for humans or solved by using human intelligence.

In Machine learning (ML), data-driven techniques (methods) are used to learn source ranges directly from observed acoustic data in a bid to proffer solutions to source localization in ocean acoustics.

In conclusion, a normalized sample covariance matrix (SCM) is constructed and used as the input, especially after pre-processing the pressure that's received by a vertical linear array in Machine learning (ML).

action and reaction are equal in magnitude and opposite direction then why they don't balance each other
Harrizon [31]
Action and reaction are equal in magnitude and opposite direction by they don't balance each other because they don't occur on the same body. Action is involved on one body and reaction is involved on another body.

If a woman weighs 125 lb, her mass expressed in kilograms is x kg, where x is
adelina 88 [10]
The first thing you should know to solve this problem is the conversion of pounds to kilograms:
 1lb = 0.45 Kg
 We can solve this problem by a simple rule of three
 1lb ---> 0.45Kg
 125lb ---> x
 Clearing x we have:
 x = ((125) / (1)) * (0.45) = 56.25 Kg.
 Answer
 her mass expressed in kilograms is 56.25 Kg.

1. Which of the following statements best describes matter?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Matter is anything that has mass

Explanation:

The word "matter" refers to anything that has mass, either organic or inorganic. Matter is made up of atoms, which consists of a nucleus (made up of protons, positively charged, and neutrons, electrically neutron) and electrons which revolve around the nucleus.

The number of protons in the atom determine the element: there are more than 100 different elements in nature, with different properties depending on the number of electrons they have.

Matter can be in three different states also:

- solid: the atoms are tightly bond to each other, so they cannot move

- liquids: atoms are not bond to each other, so they can slide past each other, but still they have some intermolecular forces that keep them close to each other

- gas: atoms are free to move, as there are no forces that keep them close to each other
