Light year is a unit of measure of time that makes use of the speed of light and distance between objects to determine the number of years it will take for the light to travel. We can determine what element the object is made up of by the wavelength of the color.

The components of vector A are Ax = +2.2 and Ay = -6.9 , and the components of vector B are given are Bx = -6.1 and By = -2.2. W
Zina [86]
For simplicity, let's call vector B-A  vector C  Then C is
Cx = (-6.1 - 2.2)  
Cy = (-2.2 - (-6.9))  Or,
Cx = -8.3  Cy = 4.7
The magnitude is found with the Pythagorean theorem
||C|| = √(-8.3² + 4.7²) = 9.538

*please refer to photo* An electric field of magnitude 5.25 ✕ 10^5N/C points due south at a certain location. Find the magnitude
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Approximately 3.86\; {\rm N} (given that the magnitude of this charge is -7.35\; {\rm \mu C}.)

Explanation:

If a charge of magnitude q is placed in an electric field of magnitude E, the magnitude of the electrostatic force on that charge would be F = E\, q.

The magnitude of this charge is q = 7.35\; {\rm \mu C}. Apply the unit conversion 1\; {\rm \mu C} = 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}:

\begin{aligned} q &= 7.35\; {\mu C} \times \frac{10^{-6}\; {\rm C}}{1\; {\mu C}} = 7.35\times 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}\end{aligned}.

An electric field of magnitude E = 5.25\times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot C^{-1}} would exert on this charge a force with a magnitude of:

\begin{aligned}F &= E\, q \\ &= 5.25 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot C^{-1}} \times (-7.35\times 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}) \\ &\approx 3.86\; {\rm N}\end{aligned}.

Note that the electric charge in this question is negative. Hence, electrostatic force on this charge would be opposite in direction to the the electric field. Since the electric field points due south, the electrostatic force on this charge would point due north.
