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 engine of a 2000 kg Mercedes going up Pike’s Peak delivers energy to its drive wheel at the rate 100 kW . Neglecting air res

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

given,

Mass of Mercedes engine = 2000 Kg

Power delivered = 100 kW

angle made with horizontal = 30°

acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

largest speed car can sustain = ?

we know,

Power = Force x velocity

P = F x v

P = mg sinθ x v

P = mg sin 30° x v

P = 0.5 mg x v

$v = \dfrac{100 \times 10^3}{0.5\times 2000 \times 10}$

v = 10 m/s

hence, the maximum velocity is equal to v = 10 m/s

Air escaping out from an air hose at a gas station always feels cool. Why?

kati45 [8]

Answer:

The air is contained at a high pressure in the tube. When it escapes from a small orifice, it suddenly expands. A large amount of its heat is absorbed in the process of expansion resulting in considerable fall in its temperature. This is why the escaping air feels cold.

In a pith ball experiment, the two pith balls are at rest. The magnitude of the tension in each string is |T|=0.55N, and the ang

Len [333]

Answer:

Explanation: Two pith ball will repel each other . they will remain balaced due to tension in the spring whose one component balances the weight and the other balances the repulsive force on each.

The gravitational force will be balanced by T cos 27.33 and the electrostatic repulsive force will be balanced by T sin27.33

Fg =T cos 27.33

= .55 X .888

= .49 N

Fq = T sin27.33

=.55 x .459

= .25 N.
