An object is hung from a spring balance attached to the ceiling of an elevator cab. The balance reads 85 N when the elevator is

standing still.
a) What is the reading when the elevator is moving upward with a constant speed of 7.9 m/s?

b) What is the reading when the elevator is moving upward with a speed of 7.9 m/s while decelerating at a rate of 1.1 m/s2?

Answer:

Explanation:

Balance force ( W ) = 85 N

a)  moving upward with constant velocity (V ) = 7.9 m/s.

The reading will not change since it is moving with constant velocity

  W = 85 N

b) Moving upward with V = 7.9 m/s and decelerating at the rate of (a ) = 1.1 m /s²

The net force ( F ) = W - ma

where m = W/g = 85/9.81 = 8.6646 kg

F = 85 - 8.6646 * 1.1 = 75.4689 N

A test charge is placed at a distance of 2.0 × 10-1 meters from a charge of 5.4 × 10-8 coulombs. What is the electric field at t
Alborosie
The electric field E of a charge is defined as E=F/Q where F is the Coulomb force and Q is the test charge. 

E=(1/Q)*k*(q*Q)/r², where k=9*10^9 N*m²/C², q is the point charge, Q is the test charge and r is the distance between the charges.

So E=(k*q)/r² 

When we input the numbers we get that electric field E of a point chage q is:

E=(9*10^9)*(5.4*10^-8)/0.2²=486/0.04=12150 N/C.
This is roughly E=12000 N/C =1.2*10^4 N/C
The correct answer is B.
