Answer:

A. 20 N down

Explanation:

It's asking how much force of gravity is acting on it. The book weighs 20 Newtons so that's how much gravity is being applied. Hope this helps

Problem 21-40a:

Greeley [361]

Answer:

Part a)

$\frac{F_e}{F_g} = 2.74 \times 10^{12}$

Part b)

$q = 3.37 \times 10^{-4} C$

Explanation:

As we know that electric force on electric charge is given as

$F = qE$

here we have

$q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}C$

E = 153 N/C

now force is given as

$F = (1.6 \times 10^{-19})(153) = 2.45 \times 10^{-17} N$

Gravitational force on electric charge near surface of earth is given as

$F_g = mg$

$F_g = (9.1 \times 10^{-31})(9.81) = 8.93 \times 10^[-30} N$

now the ratio of two forces is given as

$\frac{F_e}{F_g} = \frac{2.45 \times 10^{-17}}{8.93 \times 10^{-30}}$

$\frac{F_e}{F_g} = 2.74 \times 10^{12}$

Part b)

Now the ball is balanced by the electric force and the force of gravity on it

so here we have

$F_g = qE$

$mg = qE$

$(5.25 \times 10^{-3})(9.81) = q(153)$

here we have

$q = 3.37 \times 10^{-4} C$

The surface air pressure on the planet mars is about 0.007 atm. if you were standing on mars, the surface air pressure would be

Lelu [443]

Surface air pressure is a consequence of the weight of the air acting on its surface. For example, if you are standing on Mars, the pressure around you is what you call the surface air pressure. Thus, that surface air pressure must be 0.007 atm.
