If the electric field is directed d) upward

Explanation:

In order for a positively charged particle to be suspended at rest, the electric force due to the electric field must be

1) equal in magnitude, and

2) opposite in direction

to the force of gravity acting on the particle. Since the force of gravity acts downward, the electric force must be upward. The electric force on a charged particle is given by

F=qE

where

q is the charge

E is the electric field

And the direction of the force is:

  • The  same as the electric field for a positive charge
  • Opposite to the direction of the field for a negative charge

Here we have a positive charge, therefore the direction of the electric field must be the same as the direction of the force, therefore upward.

kaheart [24]

Answer: The correct option is that all of the sugar will come out of solution, and pure water will float to the top

Explanation:

Solution in the field of Chemistry is usually made up of two or more substances which contains a solute that dissolves in a solvent.

A solution can either be:

-> Saturated

--> Unsaturated or

-> Supersaturated.

A saturated solution is a solution with solutes that dissolves until it is unable to dissolve anymore leaving the undissolved solute beneath.

When there is mixture of a solute and a solvent in a solution the reactions that occurs are called crystallization and dissolution. Crystallization causes solid solutes to remain undissolved while dissolution is simply the dissolving process of the solute.

When Ryan added more sugar after reaching the saturation point of the mixture, the process of crystallization set in which surpassed the process of dissolution of the sugar solute leading to precipitation of the solute of out the solution.

Energy in an ecosystem is first obtained by
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

The Sun is the major source of energy for organisms and the ecosystems of which they are a part. Producers such as plants, algae, and cyanobacteria use the energy from sunlight to make organic matter from carbon dioxide and water. This establishes the beginning of energy flow through almost all food webs.
