Answer:

a= -0.86 m/s²

The negative sign shows that ball down the ground or moving down

Explanation:

Vf² - Vo² = 2gS

where

Vf = velocity of clay as it hits the ground

Vo = initial velocity of clay = 0

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2 (constant)

S = distance travelled by clay = 15 m

Substituting appropriate values,

Vf² - 0 = 2(9.8)(15)  

Vf = 17.15 m/sec.

Formula to use is,  

V - Vf = aT

where

V = velocity of clay when it stops = 0

Vf = 17.15 m/sec (as determined above)

a = acceleration

T = 20 ms  

Put the values to find acceleration

a=(V-Vf)/T

a=(0-17.15)/20

a= -0.86 m/s²

The negative sign shows that ball down the ground

When mapping the equipotentials on the plates with different electrode configurations you may find that some have significant ar
Olenka [21]

Answer:

v = 10 V and E = 2 10³ N/C

Explanation:

The electrical potentials and the electric field at one point are related by the expression

            ΔV = - ∫ E. dS

Where the bold indicates vector quantities, E is the electric field and S is the line of displacement of the load, in general displacement is perpendicular to the equipotential lines, which reduces the product scales to the ordinary product.

 If the potential difference is the most usual that is V = 10 V, the electric field is

   s = 0.5 cm = 0.5 10⁻² m

                E = ΔV / S

                E = 10/0.5 10⁻²

                 E = 2 10³ N / C

What happens to the structure of an atom when the atom is ionised?​
Phoenix [80]

Answer: Explanation:

If the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons then the atom is uncharged and is electrically neutral. However, atoms can gain or lose electrons: increasing or decreasing the negative charge. Ionisation is the addition or removal of an electron to create an ion. ..Gaining an electron creates a negative ion.

Is it possible for you to take a hike and have the distance you cover be equal to the magnitude of your displacement?
kow [346]

Distance can be equal to displacement ... if the motion is all in a straight line ... but distance can never be greater than displacement.
