Why does an object roll faster down a steeper hill than a not so steep hill.

The answer is : <span>Gravity draws an object towards its strongest point. The main things holding you back are air resistance and friction. As a hill gets steeper, you are more in line with the center of gravity, so it overcomes friction and you move faster. Eventually when you are moving vertically there is no friction other than air resistance itself. At this time you will accelerate at 32 feet per second every second until you either hit something or reach terminal velocity which is around 120 mph. Air resistance (on the Earth at least) will not allow you to travel any faster. Hope this Helped! Good Luck! :)</span>

An electric field of 710,000 N/C points due west at a certain spot. What is the magnitude of the force that acts on a charge of

Anni [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of force is $4.26\times 10^{- 6} N$

Solution:

As per the question:

The strength of Electric field due west at a certain point, $\vec{E_{w}} = 710,000 N/C$

Charge, Q = - 6 C

Now, the force acting on the charge Q in the electric field is given by:

$\vec{F} = Q\vec{E_{w}}$

$\vec{F} = -6\times 710,000 = - 4.26\times 10^{- 6} N$

Here, the negative sign indicates that the force acting is opposite in direction.
