Answer:

accelerate in the direction in which the electric field is pointing.

Explanation:

The positive charge feels a force in the same direction as the electric field

F=Eq

F and E are vectors, q is a scalar

(if it were a negative charge the force would be in the opposite direction)

that force will produce an acceleration in the same direction, that acceleration will cause the particle to move in the same direction, ie the direction of the electric field.

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Part 1

20 N

Part 2

0.4 m/s²

Part 3

4 m/s

Explanation:

The force which pulls the sled right = 50 N

The friction force exterted towards left by the snow = -30 N

The mass of the sled = 50 kg

Part 1

The sum of the forces on the sled, F = 50 N + (-30) N = 20 N

Part 2

The acceleration of the sled is given as follows;

F = m·a

Where;

m = The mass of the sled

a = The accelertion

a = F/m

∴ a = (20 N)/(50 kg) = 0.4 m/s²

The acceleration of the sled, a = 0.4 m/s²

Part 3

The initial velocity of the sled, u = 2 m/s

The kinematic equation of motion to determine the speed of the sled is v = u + a·t

The speed, <em>v</em>, of the sled after t = 5 seconds is therefore;

v = 2 m/s + 0.4 m/s² × 5 s = 4 m/s.

Absolute zero (K=0 or -273.15°C) is what temperature on the Farenheit scale? a) 459.4°F b) -301.43 °F c) 233.05°F d) -40.15°F e

ANEK [815]

Answer:

e) None of these is true

Explanation:

Given that

Temperature = 0 K

We know that relationship between kelvin and Farenheit scale

$\dfrac{K-273}{100}=\dfrac{F-32}{180}$

Now by putting the values

$\dfrac{K-273}{100}=\dfrac{F-32}{180}$

$\dfrac{0-273}{100}=\dfrac{F-32}{180}$

So F= - 459.67°F

So we can say that 0 K is equal to - 459.67°F.

So the our option e is correct.

Natalka [10]

Answer:

$EMF = 1684.67 Volts$

Explanation:

As we know that EMF is induced in a closed conducting loop if the flux linked with the loop is changing with time

So we can say

$EMF = \frac{d\phi}{dt}$

now we have

$\phi = BA$

here since magnetic field is constant so we have

$EMF = A\frac{dB}{dt}$

now we have

$A = (190 \times 10^3)(190 \times 10^3)$

$A = 3.61 \times 10^{10} m^2$

now we have

$EMF = 3.61\times 10^{10} (\frac{2.8 \times 10^{-6}T}{60 s})$

$EMF = 1684.67 Volts$
