AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The charge on the drop  is

q = 1.741 x 10 ⁻²¹ C

Explanation:

Electric field due to plates

Ef = V/d  

Ef = 2033 V / (2.0 * 10^-2 m )

Ef = 101650 V/m

So, we can write  

Ef * q = m*g

q = m*g / E f

The mass can be equal using the density and the volume so:

m = ρ * v

The volume can be find as:

v = 2.298 x 10 ⁻ ¹⁶ m³

q =  ρ * v * g / Ef

q =  81 x 10 ³ kg/ m³ * 2.2298 x 10 ⁻ ¹⁶ m³ * 9.8 m/s² / 101650 V/m

The charge on the drop  is

q = 1.741 x 10 ⁻²¹ C

Which of these statements is correct about photosynthesis and decomposition?
Ede4ka [16]
<span>The last option. Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, water from the soil and other nutrients also from the soil - salts containing nitrogene, potassium, sulphur, etc. They use water and carbon dioxide to produce sugar through photosyntesis. Decomposition is the reaction that converts any organic compound back into inorganic compounds - water, carbon dioxide and salts containing nitrogene, potassium, sulphur, etc. So it's basically the opposite. So photosyntesis uses carbon dioxide as a reactive and take it from the atmosphere, whereas decomposition generates carbon dioxide as a product and releases it to the atmosphere.</span>

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Scientists measure the time between the arrival of an earthquake's __P____ and ___S____ waves to help determine the distance between the recording seismograph and the earthquake epicenter.

Explanation:

P- (compressional) and S- (shear) waves produced in earthquakes travel at different speeds. P waves are faster than S waves and hence will be detected first by a seismograph after an earthquake. The further away a seismograph is from the epicenter of an earthquake,  the longer the time difference between the two (2) waves will be.

Using several, at least 3, seismographs located at different geoghraphical locations and detecting earthquakes, geologists can extrapolate the epicenter of an earthquake using the time differences in arrivals of the two waves in each of the seismographs, using the mathematics of triangulation.
