Explanation:

If a positive test charge is placed in an electric field, it will exert the force in the test charge in the direction of electric field vector. We know that the direction of electric field is given by electric field lines. The field lines for a positive charge is outwards. The electric force acting on the charge is given by :

F = q E

Hence, this is the required solution.

A schoolbus accelerates to 65 mph and enters the freeway. It travels for 2.3 hours at that speed while on the freeway. What's th

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The distance travelled on the freeway is 149.5 miles.

Explanation:

The school bus travels on the freeway at constant speed. According to the statement, we need to calculate the distance travelled by the vehicle by means of the following formula:

$x = v\cdot t$ (1)

Where:

$x$ - Traveled distance, in miles.

$v$ - Speed, in miles per hour.

$t$ - Time, in hours.

If we know that $v = 65\,\frac{mi}{h}$ and $t = 2.3\,h$ , then the distance travelled by the school bus is:

$x = v\cdot t$

$x = \left(65\,\frac{mi}{h} \right)\cdot (2.3\,h)$

$x = 149.5\,mi$

The distance travelled on the freeway is 149.5 miles.

21. Calculate the acceleration of the bus from point D to E. Show your work.

Marat540 [252]

21) Acceleration from D to E: $1 m/s^2$

22) The acceleration of the bus from D to E is $1 m/s^2$

Explanation:

21)

The acceleration of an object is equal to the rate of change of velocity of the object. Mathematically:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time elapsed

In this problem, we want to measure the acceleration of the bus from point D to point E. We have:

- Initial velocity at point D: u = 0

- Final velocity at point E: v = 5 m/s

- Time elapsed from D to E: t = 21 - 16 = 5 s

Therefore, the acceleration between D and E is

$a=\frac{5-0}{5}=1 m/s^2$

22) This question is the same as 21), so the result is the same.

Two metal spheres are hanging from nylon threads. When you bring the spheres close to each other, they tend to attract. Based on

Tamiku [17]

Explanation:

In the given question, the two metal spheres were hanged with the nylon thread.

When these two spheres were brought close together, they attracted each other. The attraction between these spheres is the result of the opposite charges between them.

The possible ways by which these two metal spheres can be charged are by induction that is touching the metal or by rubbing them.

During induction, the same charges are transferred to each sphere. In this case, either both the spheres will be negatively charged or positively charged.

It is not possible that after the sphere touch each other they will cling together because the same charge repels each other and during touching, if one sphere is neutral, then the charged one will transfer the same charge. And as we know that same charge repel each other therefore they will repel each other.
