I believe if it were heavier with more mass, then the sun would pull it in and there would be no mercury. It might also be hotter.
Answer:

Explanation:
The total force on the particle is given by

Then, by replacing we have:
![q\vec{v}\ X \vec{B}=q[7\hat{k}-9\hat{j}-\hat{k}]\\\\q\vec{E}=q[5\hat{i}-\hat{j}-2\hat{k}]\\\\\vec{F}=(9.61*10^{-19}C)[(7+9)\hat{i}+(-9-1)\hat{j}+(-1-2)\hat{k}]\\\\\vec{F}=(1.537*10^{-17}\hat{i}-9.61*10^{-19}\hat{j}-2.883*10^{-18}\hat{k})N](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=q%5Cvec%7Bv%7D%5C%20X%20%5Cvec%7BB%7D%3Dq%5B7%5Chat%7Bk%7D-9%5Chat%7Bj%7D-%5Chat%7Bk%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5Cq%5Cvec%7BE%7D%3Dq%5B5%5Chat%7Bi%7D-%5Chat%7Bj%7D-2%5Chat%7Bk%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cvec%7BF%7D%3D%289.61%2A10%5E%7B-19%7DC%29%5B%287%2B9%29%5Chat%7Bi%7D%2B%28-9-1%29%5Chat%7Bj%7D%2B%28-1-2%29%5Chat%7Bk%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cvec%7BF%7D%3D%281.537%2A10%5E%7B-17%7D%5Chat%7Bi%7D-9.61%2A10%5E%7B-19%7D%5Chat%7Bj%7D-2.883%2A10%5E%7B-18%7D%5Chat%7Bk%7D%29N)
where the cross product can be made with the determinant method.
Hope this helps!!
I am quite sure the first one is Friction, but I am not sure about the second one. Is it wind?
Answer:
3430000 J
Explanation:
The formula for potential energy is PE=mgh.
M being the mass, g being the force of gravity, and h being the height.
First thing you want to do is convert 250 kg to g (grams).
From there you get 25000g and you have to multiply that by 14m and 9.8m/s^2 (the force of gravity is constant, at least on earth).
Answer:

Explanation:
Assuming the pith balls as point charges, we can calculate the repulsive force between them, using Coulomb's law:

We observe that the magnitude of the electric force is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of both signed charges(
) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance(d) that separates them.
Replacing the given values, where k is the Coulomb constant:
