1 answer:
A) The magnitude of the electric field generated by a single point charge is given by
where k is the Coulomb's constant, q is the charge and r is the distance at which we calculate the field.
Since we want to know the intensity of the field at distance of r=4.52 m from the charge of q=8.15 C, the intensity of the electric field is
b) Direction of the field
The charge that produces the field is negative, and we know that the electric field generated by a negative charge points toward the charge. Therefore, the direction of the electric field is towards the charge.

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.
A box of oranges which weighs 83 N is being pushed across a horizontal floor. As it moves, it is slowing at a constant rate of 0.90 m/s each second. The push force has a horizontal component of 20 N and a vertical component of 25 N downward. Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor.
Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
= 20 N,
= 25 N, a = -0.9
W = 83 N
m =
= 8.46
Now, we will balance the forces along the y-component as follows.
N = W +
= 83 + 25 = 108 N
Now, balancing the forces along the x component as follows.
= ma
= 7.614 N
Also, we know that relation between force and coefficient of friction is as follows.
=
= 0.0705
Thus, we can conclude that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.0705.
