Answer:

a) The electric field at that point is 2.0\times 10^{2} newtons per coulomb.

b) The electric force is 2.0\times 10^{-6} newtons.

Explanation:

a) Let suppose that electric field is uniform, then the following electric field can be applied:

E = \frac{F_{e}}{q} (1)

Where:

E - Electric field, measured in newtons per coulomb.

F_{e} - Electric force, measured in newtons.

q - Electric charge, measured in coulombs.

If we know that F_{e} = 4.0\times 10^{-6}\,N and q = 2.0\times 10^{-8}\,C, then the electric field at that point is:

E = \frac{4.0\times 10^{-6}\,N}{2.0\times 10^{-8}\,C}

E = 2.0\times 10^{2}\,\frac{N}{C}

The electric field at that point is 2.0\times 10^{2} newtons per coulomb.

b) If we know that E = 2.0\times 10^{2}\,\frac{N}{C} and q = 1.0\times 10^{-8}\,C, then the electric force is:

F_{e} = E\cdot q

F_{e} = \left(2.0\times 10^{2}\,\frac{N}{C} \right)\cdot (1.0\times 10^{-8}\,C)

F_{e} = 2.0\times 10^{-6}\,N

The electric force is 2.0\times 10^{-6} newtons.

The largest watermelon ever grown had a mass of 118 kg. Suppose this watermelon were exhibited on a platform 5.00 m above the gr
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: height = 3.98m

Explanation: by placing the watermelon at a height above the ground, it has a potential energy of the formulae

p = mgh

p = potential energy = 4.61kJ = 4610J

m = mass of watermelon = 118 kg

g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8 m/s²

4610 = 118 * 9.8 * h

h = 4610/ 118 * 9.8

h = 4610/ 1156.4

h = 3.98m
