Answe

a)  Q = 0.820 10⁻⁹ C ,   b)  Q = -3.52 10⁻⁹ C

Explanation:

The electric field is given by the formula

         E = k q / r²

where E is a vector quantity, so it must be added as a vector

          E_total = E₁ + E₂

let's look for the two electric fields

           E₁ = k q₁ / r₁²

           E₁ = 9 10⁹  5.4 10⁻⁹ / 1.25²

           E₁ = 31.10 N / C

           E2 = k Q / r₂²

           E2 = 9 10⁹ Q / 0.625²

           E2 = 23.04 10⁹ Q N / C           (1)

now we can solve the two cases presented

a) The total field is

            E_total = 50.0 N / C towards + x

since the test charge is positive the electric field E1 points to the right in the direction of the + x axis, so the equation is

            E_total = E1 + E₂

             E₂ = E_toal - E₁

             E₂ = 50.0 -31.10

             E2 = 18.9 N /C

With the value of the electric field we can calculate the charge (Q) using equation 1

             E₂ = 23.04 10⁹ Q

              Q = E₂ / 23.04 10⁹

              Q = 18.9 / 23.04 10⁹

              Q = 0.820 10⁻⁹ C

the charge on Q is positive

b) E_total = -50.0 N / C

              E_total = E₁ + E₂

              E₂ = E_total - E₁

              E2 = -50.0 - 31.10

               E2 = -81.10 N /C

we calculate the charge

             Q = E2 / 23.04 10⁹

             Q = -81.1 / 23.04 10⁹

              Q = -3.52 10⁻⁹ C

for this case the charge is negative

A brave but inadequate rugby player is being pushed backward by an opposing player who is exerting a force of 800 N on him. The
uysha [10]

Answer:

f = 692 N

Explanation:

given data:

f =800N

a =1.2 m s^{2}

m= 90 kg

from newton's second law

net force F_{net} =\sum F = F_1 +F_2 +..... = ma

therefore we have from above equationF_{net} = F -f = ma

ma =F - f

putting all value to get force of friction

1.2*90 = 800 - f

f = 692 N

A chef sanitized a thermometer probe and then checked the temperature of minestrone soup being held in a hot-holding unit. the t
ss7ja [257]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A corrective action is defined as the action with the help of which a person can avoid a difficulty or problem that he/she was facing earlier.

For example, when the chef checked the temperature of soup using thermometer then it was 120 but his operation's critical limit was 135.

So, to avoid this problem he heated the soup to 165 at 15 seconds following which he got the result as desired.

Therefore, reheating the soup was his corrective action.

Thus, we can conclude that reheating the soup was the corrective action.

Which of the following is a false statement about dispersion forces? View Available Hint(s) Which of the following is a false st
icang [17]

Explanation :

Dispersion forces are also known as London dispersion forces. It is the weakest force. Also, it is the part of the Van der Waals forces.

(1) This force is exhibited by all atoms and molecules.

(2) These forces are the result of the fluctuations in the electron distribution within molecules or atoms. Due to these fluctuations, the electric field is created. The magnitude of this force is explained in terms of Hamaker constant 'A'.

(3) Dispersion forces result from the formation of instantaneous dipoles in a molecule or atom. When electrons are more concentrated in a place, instantaneous dipoles formed.

(4) Dispersion force magnitude depends on the amount of surface area available for interactions. If the area increases, the size of the atom also increase. As a result, stronger dispersion forces.

So, the false statement is "Dispersion forces always have a greater magnitude in molecules with a greater molar mass".

Anika [276]
No, gravity acts equally on all objects.  The crumpled paper falls faster because it resists the drag force due to the atmosphere because of its compact size.  A flat piece of paper has an extended body and "catches" the air and falls more slowly.  In a vacuum they would fall at the same rate either way.
