Answer:
Explanation:
Since the fly accumulated a positive charge of +73pC, it must have lost an equal number of negative charge of -73pC to the surface (because the housefly was neutral to begin with).
Therefore, to answer our question we have to ask ourselves <em>how many electrons combine to make -73pC of charge? </em>
The answer is since one electron carries a charge of , the number
of electrons that make up -73pC
are
Thus, the housefly lost about 456 million electrons to the surface!
Answer:
The net force is zero, so the acceleration is zero
Explanation:
Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force applied to it, according to the equation:
(1)
where
is the net force on the object
m is the mass of the object
a is its acceleration
In this problem, we have a sled acted upon two forces, . So the net force on the sled is
(2)
however, we are told that the two forces are equal in magnitude but in opposite directions, so
So, eq.(2) becomes
and so eq.(1) becomes
which means
so the acceleration of the sled is zero, and if the sled was at rest, it will not move.
