A charged cloud system produces an electric field in the air near earth's surface. a particle of charge -2.0 × 10-9 c is acted o

n by a downward electrostatic force of 4.3 × 10-6 n when placed in this field. (a) what is the magnitude of the electric field? (b) what is the magnitude of the electrostatic force on a proton placed in this field? (c) what is the gravitational force on the proton? (d) what is the ratio of the electrostatic force to the gravitational force in this case?

Part a)

Magnitude of electric field is given by force per unit charge

E = \frac{F}{q}

E = \frac{4.3 * 10^{-6}}{2 * 10^{-9}}

E = 2150 N/C

Part b)

Electrostatic force on the proton is given as

F = qE

F = 1.6 * 10^{-19} * 2150

F = 3.44 * 10^{-16} N

PART C)

Gravitational force is given by

F_g = mg

F_g = 1.6 * 10^{-27}*9.8

F_g = 1.57 * 10^{-26} N

PART d)

Ratio of electric force to weight

\frac{F_e}{F_g} = \frac{3.44 * 10^{-16}}{1.57*10^{-26}}

\frac{F_e}{F_g} = 2.2 * 10^{10}

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

a).K=528.92 \frac{N}{m}

b).m=4.84kg

Explanation:

a).

The work of the spring is find by the formula:

w_s =\frac{1}{2}*k*x^2

So knowing the work can find the constant K'

3.2J =\frac{1}{2}*k*(0.11m)^2

Solve for K'

K=\frac{2*W_s}{x^2}=\frac{2*3.2J}{0.11m^2}

K=528.92 \frac{N}{m}

b).

The force of the spring realice a motion so using the force and knowing the accelerations can find the mass

F=m*a

m=\frac{F}{a}=\frac{K*x}{a}

m=\frac{528.9*0.11m}{12m/s^2}

m=4.84kg

Resistance is seen as part of ______________--- how a person understands his or her being and relationship to the world at large
aleksley [76]

Answer:

The self and world construct

Explanation:

in physics

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit. Resistance is measured in ohms, symbolized by the Greek letter omega (Ω). Ohms are named after Georg Simon Ohm (1784-1854), a German physicist who studied the relationship between voltage, current and resistance.

Self psychology views resistances as protecting a vulnerable self. Resistances are seen as efforts to maintain levels of organization that patients have achieved within the context of their traumatic life situation.

What is the potential difference when the current in a circuit is 5mA and resistance is 30 Ohms
Mashcka [7]

<h2>\bf{ \underline{Given:- }}</h2>

\sf• \: The \:  current \:  in \:  a \:  circuit \:  is  \: 5 \: amps.  \: and  \: resistance \:  is \:  30 \:  Ohms.

\\

<h2>\bf{ \underline{To \:  Find :- }}</h2>

\sf{• \:  The  \: Potential  \: Difference. }

\\

\huge\bf{ \underline{ Solution:- }}

\sf According  \: to  \: the  \: question,

\sf•  \: Current \:  (I) = 5  \: Amps.

\sf• \:  Resistance  \: (R) = 30 \:  Ω

\sf{Potential \:  difference  \: means  \: Voltage \: ( V).}

\sf{We \:  know \: that, }

Terry can ride 30 miles in 2 hours. If his riding speed is
Anni [7]

Answer:  20.4 miles

Explanation:

Here we need to use the equation:

Velocity = Distance/Time.

Initially we have that he can travel 30 miles in 2 hours, so the velocity is:

V = 30mi/2h = 15mph

Now, we reduce the velocity by 3 mph, so the new velocity is 15mph - 3 mph = 12mph.

Now we want to know the distance traveled in 1.7 hours with this velocity, this is.

Velocity*Time = Distance

12mi/h*1.7h = 20.4 miles
