Answer:

Will experience a force due to electric field.

Explanation:

When a free negative charge is released in an electric field it experiences a force due to the electric field in a direction opposite to the direction of the magnetic field.

According to Coulomb's law this force is mathematically given as:

$F=E.q$

and, electric field due to a charge is given as:

$E=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0}.\frac{q}{r^2}$

where:

permittivity of free space $\epsilon_0=8.85\times 10^{-12}\ m^{-3}.kg^{-1}.s^4.A^2$

q = magnitude of charge

r = radial distance from the charge

ozzi

Answer:

If the mesosphere did not exist, Earth might be destroyed by chunks of rock from space.

The stratosphere is located 12 to 50 kilometers from Earth's surface.

Both the trophosphere and mesosphere get colder as altitude increases.

The ozone in the stratosphere protects people from ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

The thermosphere has the highest temperature of any layer in Earth's atmosphere.

Explanation:

Different layers of the atmosphere are;

Troposphere

It is the lowest layer of atmosphere that begins at ground level and extends upward to about 10 km. In this layer, all organisms live, weather occurs and most clouds appear. As altitude increases, the temperature decreases i.e., the layer gets colder.

Stratosphere

This layer is located at the top of the troposphere and extends up to about 50 km from Earth's surface. The ozone layer present in this layer absorbs high-energy ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun. Here, the temperature rises with altitude. The passenger jets are usually fly in this layer.

Mesosphere

Above the stratosphere, the mesosphere extends upward to about 85 km from Earth's surface. The chunks of rock from space such as meteors burn upon entering the mesosphere and protect the Earth. In this layer, the temperature gets colder as altitude increases and so the coldest temperatures (about -90° C) in Earth's atmosphere are found at the top of this layer.

Thermosphere

This layer is located above the mesosphere and the air here is really very thin. The thermosphere absorbs high-energy X-rays and UV radiation from the Sun and as a result, its temperature increases to hundreds or thousands of degrees i.e., 1,500° C or higher. This layer extends up to 500 to 1,000 km from the ground. Many satellites orbit Earth within this layer.

Ionosphere

The ionosphere is actually an extension of the thermosphere and so it is not a distinct layer like the others. It is filled with charged particles produced from the ionization of molecules by high temperatures in the thermosphere caused by the high-energy radiation from the Sun. The phenomenon called auroras (Northern Lights and Southern Lights) occurs in this layer. The different regions of the ionosphere reflecting the radio waves back to Earth and make the long-distance radio communication possible.

Which condition is required for Coulomb's law to hold true?

AleksAgata [21]

The correct answer is:
Point charges must be in a vacuum.

In fact, the usual form for of the Coulomb's law is:
 $F= \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$
where
 $\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space
q1 and q2 are the two charges
q is the separation between the two charges

However, this formula is valid only if the charges are in vacuum. If they are in a material medium, the law is modified as follows:
 $F= \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 \epsilon_r} \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$
where $\epsilon_r$ is the relative permittivity, which takes into account the dielectric effects of the material.

Running with an initial velocity of +11m/s, a horse has an average acceleration of -1.81m/s 2 . How long does it take for the ho

Ronch [10]

Answer:

2.49 seconds

Explanation:

From the question,

a = (v-u)/t............................ Equation 1

Where a = acceleration, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time

Make t the subject of the equation

t = (v-u)/a.......................... Equation 2

Given: v = 6.5 m/s, u = 11 m/s, a = -1.81 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

t = (6.5-11)/(-1.81)

t = -4.5/-1.81

t = 2.49 s

Which is the best predictor of the radioactive nature of an isotope?

azamat

The best predictor of the radioactive nature of an isotope is the neutron-to-proton ratio of the atom. Isotopes are atoms of elements having the same number of protons however they don't have the same number of neutrons. Each isotope of an element will have different values of mass number.
