There is a naturally occurring vertical electric field near the Earth’s surface that points toward the ground. In fair weather c

onditions, in an open field, the strength of this electric field is 95.0 N/C . A spherical pollen grain with a radius of 12.0 μm is released from its parent plant by a light breeze, giving it a net charge of −0.700 fC (where 1 fC=1×10−15 C ). What is the ratio of the magnitudes of the electric force to the gravitational force, ????electric/????grav , acting on the pollen? Pollen is primarily water, so assume that its volume mass density is 1000 kg/m3 , identical to the volume mass density of water.

Answer:

\frac{F}{W} = 9.37 \times 10^{-4}

Explanation:

Radius of the pollen is given as

r = 12.0 \mu m

Volume of the pollen is given as

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi (12\mu m)^3

V = 7.24 \times 10^{-15} m^3

mass of the pollen is given as

m = \rho V

m = 7.24 \times 10^{-12}

so weight of the pollen is given as

W = mg

W = (7.24 \times 10^{-12})(9.81)

W = 7.1 \times 10^{-11}

Now electric force on the pollen is given

F = qE

F = (-0.700\times 10^{-15})(95)

F = 6.65 \times 10^{-14} N

now ratio of electric force and weight is given as

\frac{F}{W} = \frac{6.65 \times 10^{-14}}{7.1 \times 10^{-11}}

\frac{F}{W} = 9.37 \times 10^{-4}

if the distance of separation begin two objects is doubled, is the gravitational force between the objects increased or decrease
SashulF [63]

Answer:

force is decreased by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

According to the Newton's law of gravitation, the force of gravitation between the two object is inversely proportional to the square of distance between them. Now the distance is doubled, so the force between the two objects becomes one forth.

Force is decreased by a factor or 4.

What is the monthly cost of using a 750 W refrigerator that runs for 8 hours every day, if the cost per kWh is $0.23?
disa [49]

Answer:

Assuming there are 28 days in each month,

750W = 0.75kW

Cost of electric bill = 0.75 × 8 × 28 × $0.23

                               = $38.64

An object is dropped from a bridge. A second object is thrown downwards 1.0 s later. They both reach the water 20 m below at the
Lerok [7]
Answer:

Explanation:
Kinematics equation for first Object:

but:
The initial velocity is zero

it reach the water at in instant, t1, y(t)=0:


Kinematics equation for the second Object:
The initial velocity is zero

but:

it reach the water at in instant, t2, y(t)=0. If the second object is thrown 1s later, t2=t1-1=1.02s


The velocity is negative, because the object is thrown downwards
