Answer:

The net electric field at the midpoint is 6.85 x 10^7 N/C.

Explanation:

q = − 8.3 μC

q' = + 7.8 μC

d = 9.2 cm

d/2 = 4.6 cm

The electric field due to the charge q at midpoint is

$E = \frac{k q}{r^2}\\\\E = \frac{9\times 10^9\times 8.3\times 10^{-6}}{0.046^2}\\\\E = 3.53\times 10^7 N/C$ leftwards

The electric field due to the charge q' at midpoint is

$E' = \frac{k q}{r^2}\\\\E' = \frac{9\times 10^9\times 7.8\times 10^{-6}}{0.046^2}\\\\E' = 3.32\times 10^7 N/C$

The resultant electric field at mid point is

E'' = E + E' = (3.53 + 3.32) x 10^7 = 6.85 x 10^7 N/C

Whatâ€™s the first step you would take to build a voltaic cell?

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

In a voltaic cell, current is produced by connecting an oxidation reaction half cell to a reduction reaction half cell in an electrolyte solution. Oxidation and reduction reactions (redox reactions) are chemical reactions involving a transfer of electrons from one atom in the reaction to another. When two different oxidation or reduction reactions are connected electrically by connecting the cathode to the anode, a current is formed. The direction depends on the type of reaction taking place at the terminal.

The first step would be to determine metals to be used as the cathode and the anode.

Suppose an object is moving 2.1 m/s north on a river, but the river is flowing to the east at a velocity of 1.2 m/s. What is the

rewona [7]

Answer:

2.4 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Velocity of the object moving north = 2.1 m/s

Velocity of the river moving eastward = 1.2 m/s

The resultant velocity is the vector sum of the velocities of object and river.

Since the directions of velocity of object and river are perpendicular to each other, the magnitude of the resultant velocity is obtained using Pythagoras Theorem.

The velocities are the legs of the right angled triangle and the resultant velocity is the hypotenuse.

The magnitude of the resultant velocity (R) is given as:

$R^2=2.1^2+1.2^2\\\\R^2=4.41+1.44\\\\R=\sqrt{5.85}\\\\R=2.4\ m/s$

Therefore, the resultant velocity has a magnitude of 2.4 m/s.

What are the applications of pascal's principle

Murrr4er [49]

Explanation:

The applications are, hydraulic lift- to transmit equal pressure throughout a fluid.
Hydraulic jack- used in the braking system of cars.
use of a straw- to suck fluids, which goes because of air pressure.

<h3>The question simply asks, where pressure can be applied. There are many others, such as lift pump.</h3>

Big Ben, a large artifact in England, has a mass of 1x10^8 kilograms and the Empire State Building 1x10^9 kilograms. The distanc

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The force, exerted by Big Ben on the Empire State Building is 2.66972 × 10⁻⁷ N

Explanation:

The question relates to the force of gravity experienced between two bodies

The given parameters are;

The mass of Big Ben, M₁ = 1 × 10⁸ kg

The mass of the Empire State Building, M₂ = 1 × 10⁹ kg

The distance between the two Big Ben and the Empire State Building, r = 5,000,000 meters

By Newton's Law of gravitation, we have;

$F=G \times \dfrac{M_{1} \times M_{2}}{r^{2}}$

Where;

F = The force exerted by Big Ben on the Empire State Building and vice versa

G = The universal gravitational constant = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²

M₁, M₂, and r are the given parameters

By plugging in the values of the parameters and the constant into the equation for Newton's Law of gravitation, we have;

$F=6.67430 \times 10^{-11} \times \dfrac{1 \times 10^8 \times 1 \times 10^9}{(5,000,000)^{2}} = 2.66972 \times 10^{-7}$

The force, 'F', exerted by Big Ben on the Empire State Building is F = 2.66972 × 10⁻⁷ N.

If C is 1kg and D is 100kg, and the initial velocities of both balls are 5m/s, how would the magnitude of the forces exerted by

kupik [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

The forces exerted by each mass is best understood in terms of their momentum.

Momentum is a sort of compelling force or impulse. It is given as:

Momentum = mass x velocity

Let us consider the momentum of the balls;

Substance C;

Mass = 1kg

Velocity = 5m/s

Momentum of C = 1 x 5 = 5kgm/s

Substance D:

Mass = 100kg

Velocity = 5m/s

Momentum of D = 100kg x 5m/s = 500kgm/s

Body D has a higher momentum compared to Body C. This suggests that body D will exert a higher force than C when they collide.

The higher the momentum, the more the force of impact it has.
