The field lines spread apart as we move away from the charge, and they point away from the charge

Explanation:

The electric field produced by a single-point positive charge is a radial field, whose strength is given by the equation

E=k\frac{Q}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

Q is the magnitude of the charge

r is the distance from the charge at which the field is calculated

There are two pieces of information given by the field lines shown in the graph:

  • The spacing between the lines gives an indication of the strength of the field: the closer to each other they are, the stronger the field. In this case, as we move away from the charge, the spacing between the lines increases, and this means that the field becomes weaker (in fact, it follows an inverse square law, E\propto \frac{1}{r^2}
  • The direction of the lines gives the direction of the electric field, which points away from the central charge. This is because the  direction of the electric field corresponds to the direction  of the force that a positive test charge would feel when immersed in the electric field: in this case, if we place a positive test charge in this field, then it would get repelled away from the central charge (remember that the electric force between two positive charges is repulsive), and therefore, the direction of the electric field is away from the central charge.

) The radius of sphere measured repeated values 5.63 m, 5.54 m and 5.53 m. Determine the most
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

v_{ average} = 5.57

Explanation:

The most probable value of a measure is

       v_average = \frac{1}{N} ∑ x_i

where N is the number of measurements

in tes case N = 3

         v_{average} = ⅓ (5.63 +5.54 + 5.53)

         V_{average} = 5,567

The number of significant figures must be equal to the number of figures that have the least in the readings.

          v_{ average} = 5.57

What is the magnitude of the resultant of a 7.0-N force acting vertically upward and a 5.0-N force acting horizontally.
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Resultant force = 8.6N

Explanation:

Using Pythogorus' theorem

{a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  =  {c }^{2}  \\  {7}^{2}  +  {5}^{2}  =  {r}^{2} \\ 49 + 25 =  {r}^{2}  \\ 74 =  {r}^{2}  \\   \sqrt{74}  =   \sqrt{ {r }^{2} }  \\ 8.6 = r \\

Resultant force = 8.6N

A beam of light is traveling through a medium at 200,000 km/s. It enters a different medium and speeds up to almost 250,000 km/s
shtirl [24]

Answer

From the question we can see that the in medium  1 speed of light is 200,000 Km/s where as in Medium 2 speed of light is 250,000 km/s.

We can conclude that medium 1 is denser than Medium 2.

In third medium Light speed halts so, the third medium is opaque.

We can say that

Medium 1 can be either water, glass.

Medium 2 will be gas

Medium 3 will be an opaque material.
