Answer:

B. South

Explanation:

An electric field can be defined as the amount of electric force per unit charge. The direction of the electric field can be determined by the motion of a positive test charge under the electric force.

The direction of electric field is radially outward for a positive charge and radially inward for a negative charge. Thus, for the electric field points toward SOUTH at a position directly south of a positive charge.

The nearest star to the Earth is the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, at a distance of 4.218 light-years. Convert this distance
alukav5142 [94]

Explanation:

The nearest star to the Earth is the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, at a distance of 4.218 light-years.  

Light year is the unit of distance covered by the heavenly bodies. 1 light year is equal to :

1\ light\ year=3.72\times 10^{17}\ inches

So, 4.218\ light\ year=4.218\times 3.72\times 10^{17}\ inches

4.218\ light\ year=1.56\times 10^{18}\ inches

We need to convert 4.218 light-years barley corns.  

Since, 1 barleycorn = 1/3 inch  

1\ inch=3\ barleycorn

1.56\times 10^{18}\ inches=3\times 1.56\times 10^{18}=4.68\times 10^{18}\ barleycorn

So, the nearest star to the Earth is at a distance of 4.68\times 10^{18}\ barleycorn. Hence, this is the required solution.

Si tu velocidad al caminar es 0,3 m/s. Determina el tiempo que demorarias en llegar al sol en horas (REALIZAR TRANSFORMACIÓN DE
Contact [7]

Answer:

138,516,546.9 horas.

Explanation:

Tenemos que usar la ecuación:

Velocidad = distancia/tiempo

Acá tenemos:

Velocidad = 0.3m/s

distancia = 149597870700 m

y queremos resolver la ecuación para el tiempo:

0.3m/s =  149597870700m/tiempo.

tiempo =  149597870700m/(0.3m/s) = 498,659,569,000 s

y sabemos que una hora tiene 3600 segundos, entonces si queremos transformar de segundos a horas tenemos:

498,659,569,000 s = (498,659,569,000/3600) h = 138,516,546.9 horas.

When an automobile moves with constant speed down a highway, most of the power developed by the engine is used to compensate for
sveta [45]

Answer:

F = -4567.40 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The power developed by the engine, P = 196 hp

1 hp = 746 W

196 hp = 146157 W

Speed of the car, v = 32 m/s

Let F is the total friction force acting on the car. The product of force and velocity is called the power developed by the engine. It is given by :

P=-F\times v

F=\dfrac{-P}{v}

F=\dfrac{-146157\ W}{32\ m/s}

F = -4567.40 N

So, the total frictional force acting on the car is 4567.40 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

at the extact same time, youj drop a piece of notebook paper and your science out the window. the science book hit first? why?
jeyben [28]
The piece of paper has less mass and will glide down the window, whereas the textbook will go straight to the ground. Since the textbook has more mass and less ways of it being able to 'glide' the textbook will hit the ground first.

You hold a metal block of mass 40 kg above your head at a height of 2 m.
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The work done by gravity is 784 J.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the block is, m=40\ kg

Height to which it is raised is, h=2\ m

Acceleration due to gravity is, g=9.8\ m/s^2

Now, work done by gravity is equal to the product of force of gravity and the distance moved in the direction of gravity. So,

\textrm{Work by gravity}=F_g\times h

Force of gravity is given as the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

\therefore F_g=mg=40\times 9.8=392\ N. Now,

\textrm{Work by gravity}=F_g\times h=392\times 2=784\ J

Therefore, the work done by gravity is 784 J.
