Answer:

Explanation:

a rigid object in uniform rotation about a fixed axis does not satisfy both the condition of equilibrium .

First condition of equilibrium is that net force on the body should be zero.

or F net = 0

A body under uniform rotation is experiencing a centripetal force all the time so F net ≠ 0

So first condition of equilibrium is not satisfied.

Second condition is that , net torque acting on the body must be zero.

In case of a rigid object in uniform rotation , centripetal force is applied towards the centre ie towards the line joining the body under rotation with the axis .

F is along r

torque = r x F

= r F sinθ

θ = 0 degree

torque = 0

Hence 2nd condition is fulfilled.

Answer:

Filtration is a method for separating an insoluble solid from a liquid. When a mixture of sand and water is filtered: the sand stays behind in the filter paper (it becomes the residue ) the water passes through the filter paper (it becomes the filtrate )

An electron is a negatively charged particle that has a charge of magnitude, e - 1.60 x 10-19 C. Which one of the following stat

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

The electric field is directed toward the electron and has a magnitude of $E=\frac{ke}{r^{2} }$ .

Explanation:

An electric field is define as the surrounding of charges which exert a force on each other and this force can be attractive or repulsive depends on the charge.

In the given case electron is given and the magnitude of charge on electron is $e=1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

Electric field can be represented as,

$E=\frac{kQ}{r^{2} }$

Here, r is the distance between the point ande charge, k is the electric field constant and Q is the charge.

In the given question an electron is given so electric field will be,

$E=\frac{ke}{r^{2} }$

As we know that electric field start from the positive charge and vanish in the negative charge.

So, here the electric field will be $E=\frac{ke}{r^{2} }$ and it is directed toward the electron because of negative charge on the electron.
