Answer:While workers use salt to melt ice they rely on sand for improved traction

Explanation:Sand increases friction and help prevent vehicle tires from slipping on silk roads making traveling easier, Salt can also help prevent new ice from forming on roads

A source charge generates an electric field of 4286 N/C at a distance of 2. 5 m. What is the magnitude of the source charge? (Us
svp [43]

The magnitude of the source charge is 3 μC which generates 4286 N/C of the electric field. Option B is correct.

What does Gauss Law state?

It states that the electric flux across any closed surface is directly proportional to the net electric charge enclosed by the surface.

Q = \dfrac {ER^2}k

Where,

E = electric force = 4286 N/C

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99 \times  10^9 \rm\ N m ^2 /C ^2

Q\\
     = charges = ?

r = distance of separation = 2.5 m

Put the values in the formula,

Q  = \dfrac {4286\times  2.5 ^2}{8.99 \times  10^9 }\\\\
Q  = 3\rm \  \mu C

Therefore, the magnitude of the source charge is 3 μC.

Calcular la rapidez promedio
Vlada [557]

Answer:

  v_average = 15 m / s

Explanation:

The average speed can be found in two ways,

* taking the distance traveled and divide it by the time spent

* taking the velocities in each time interval and then finding the weighted average by the time fraction

              v_average = 1 / t_total ∑  v_{i}  t_{i}vi ti

Let's apply this last equation

               

Total time is

               t = t₁ + t₂

               t = 10 + 10 = 20   min

              v_average = 10/20 10 + 10/20 20

              v_average = 10/2 + 20/2

              v_average = 15 m / s

malfutka [58]

Here Change in Kinetic Energy = Work Done by Friction

Therefore, substituting the given values to the equation, we get

0.5 * m * (vFinal^2 - vInitial^2) = µ m g * d

Therefore

0.5*( 5.90^2 - Vfinal^2 ) = 0.100*9.8*2.10

Therefore

vfinal = 5.54 m/sec
