1 answer:
ycow [4]3 years ago

Explanation:

A charge alters the space around it. This alteration of space is called the electric field. It is also defined as the electric force acting on a charged particle per unit test charge. It is given by :

E=\dfrac{F}{q}

Where

F is the electric force, F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

The direction of electric field is in the direction of electric force. For a positive charge, the direction of electric field lines are outwards and for a negative charge, the direction of field lines are inwards.

Hence, the correct option is (c) "electric field".

Which of the following scenarios describes an object being acted on by a conservative force?
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Option: A feather falls from one end of a tube to the other inside a vacuum.

Explanation:

To answer the question we need to first understand what is meant by Conservative Force.

In principle, Conservative forces are basically forces that are not affected by outside parameters (<em>such as friction, air resistance etc</em>). If the present force is strictly based on the initial and the final location of the object, with the inbetween path being irrelevant, the force will be conservative. A conservative force will be zero if we are looking at a closed path-system. We can also say that the system's energy loss will not be a function of the distance covered but is a function of displacement.

Looking at the available options, we can see that:

<u>Option A: A woman hikes up a mountain to a point 20 feet above ground.</u>

This is a Non Conservative force as this case does not depend just on displacement but also in  the path in between, i.e. hiking up the mountain there will be other forces that will affect the woman such as air resistance.

<u>Option B: A dishwasher was pulled up to a window by a rope, using a pulley system.</u>

This is a Non Conservative force as this case does not depend just on displacement but also in the inbetween path along with the forces present in a pulley system such as friction.

<u />

<u>Option C: A feather falls from one end of a tube to the other inside a vacuum.</u>

This is a Conservative force as here we are looking at a vacuum and its a closed system of no other forces present due to vacuum. However, we CAN'T say that ALL forces in a Vacuum Are Conservative because there are cases of dynamic steady state fields where the system is prone to other forces (i.e. open system).

<u />

<u>Option D: A puck glides across and slowly comes to a stop on an ice rink.</u>

This is a Non Conservative force as this case does not depend just on displacement but also the motion until it comes to a stop, which is possibly due to the friction between the ice rink and the puck.

How long does it take for a truck accelerating at 1.5 m/s^2 to got from rest to 75 km/hr
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

t = 13.9s

Explanation:

u = 0 m/s

v = 75 km/h

= 20.83 m/s

a = 1.5 m/s²

Using

v = u + at

20.83 = 0 + 1.5t

t = 13.9s

If A &gt; B, under what condition is |A-BI=|A|- IB|? a. Vectors A and B are in opposite directions b. Vectors A and B are in the
kupik [55]

Answer:

b) Vectors A and B are in the same direction.

Explanation:

To understand this problem we will say that vector A has a magnitude of 5 units and vector B a magnitude of 3 units. In the subtraction of vectors the initial parts of vectors always bind together. And the vector resulting from the subtraction is traced from the end of the second vector (B) to the end of the first vector (A).

The length of the resultant vector will be 5 - 3 = 2

In the attached image, we analyze case a), b), and d)

For a)

As we can see in the attached image the resultant vector has a length of 8 units.

For d)

As we can see in the attached image the resultant vector has a length of 5.83 units.

For b)

The resultant vector has a length of 2 units.

Therefore the case given in b) is true
