Answer:

A.The positive z-direction

Explanation:

We are given that

Linear charge density of long line which is  located on the x-axis=\lambda_1

Linear charge density of another long line which is  located on the y-axis=\lambda_2

We have to find the direction of electric field at z=a on the positive z-axis if \lambda_1 and \lambda_2 are positive.

The direction of electric field  at z=a on the positive z-axis  is positive z-direction .

Because \lambda_1 and \lambda_2 are positive and the electric field is  applied away from the positive charge.

Hence, option A is true.

A.The positive z-direction

Answer:

6010.457N

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration = a= V²/R

At a radius of 3.6m and velocity of 16.12m/s,

Acceleration is

a = 16.12²/ 3.6 = 72.182 m/s²

Force = Mass (m) * Acceleration (a)

36 = m * 72.182

m = 36/72.182

At breaking point

Radius = 0.468 m and Velocity = 75.1 m/s

a = V²/R = 75.1²/0.468

a = 12051.3 m/s

F = Mass(m) * Acceleration (a)

F = m * 12051.3

m = F/ 12051.3

Settings the ratio of mass equal

m = m

=> 36/72.182 = F/12051.3

F = 12051.3 * 36/72.182

F = 6010.457N

We humans are on track to increase the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere so that the concentration in the future more than double
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Rapid increase in the temperature of the earth.

Explanation:

CO2 is known as a greenhouse gas. It is able to trap and retain infrared radiation in the earths atmosphere thereby causing a gradual rise in the temperature of the earth. If this doubled concentration of CO2 is sustained over a long period of time, it will eventually lead to melting of polar ice caps and consequent flooding. Gradually, the earth would be destroyed due to the scorching heat and attendant flood.

A charge of 4.5 × 10-5 C is placed in an electric field with a strength of 2.0 × 104 . If the charge is 0.030 m from the source
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The electrical potential energy is 0.027 Joules.

Explanation:

The values from the question are

charge (q) = 4.5 \times 10^{-5} C

Electric Field strength (E) = 2.0 \times 10^{4} N/C

Distance from source (d) = 0.030 m

Now the formula for the electrical potential energy (U) is given by

U = q \times E \times d

So now insert the values to find the answer

U = 4.5 \times 10^{-5} C \times 2.0 \times 10^{4} N/C \times 0.030 m

On further solving

U = 0.027 J
