Answer: B

Explanation:

The balloon will pick up stray electrons, so it will become negatively charged. Since it is attracted to the metal sphere, the sphere must be positively charged.

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field and direction of electric field are $146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C$ and 75.36°.

Explanation:

Given that,

First charge $q_{1}= 2.9\mu C$

Second charge $q_{2}= 2.9\mu C$

Distance between two corners r= 50 cm

We need to calculate the electric field due to other charges at one corner

For E₁

Using formula of electric field

$E_{1}=\dfrac{kq}{r'^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E_{1}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times2.9\times10^{-6}}{(50\sqrt{2}\times10^{-2})^2}$

$E_{1}=52200=52.2\times10^{3}\ N/C$

For E₂,

Using formula of electric field

$E_{1}=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E_{2}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times2.9\times10^{-6}}{(50\times10^{-2})^2}$

$E_{2}=104400=104.4\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the horizontal electric field

$E_{x}=E_{1}\cos\theta$

$E_{x}=52.2\times10^{3}\times\cos45$

$E_{x}=36910.97=36.9\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the vertical electric field

$E_{y}=E_{2}+E_{1}\sin\theta$

$E_{y}=104.4\times10^{3}+52.2\times10^{3}\sin45$

$E_{y}=141310.97=141.3\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the net electric field

$E_{net}=\sqrt{E_{x}^2+E_{y}^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E_{net}=\sqrt{(36.9\times10^{3})^2+(141.3\times10^{3})^2}$

$E_{net}=146038.69\ N/C$

$E_{net}=146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C$

We need to calculate the direction of electric field

Using formula of direction

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{141.3\times10^{3}}{36.9\times10^{3}}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{141.3\times10^{3}}{36.9\times10^{3}})$

$\theta=75.36^{\circ}$

Hence, The magnitude of the electric field and direction of electric field are $146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C$ and 75.36°.

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

W = 0

Explanation:

We are given with, a construction worker is carrying a load of 40 kg over his head and is walking at a constant velocity. He travels a distance of 50 m.

The work done by an object is given by :

$W=Fd$

F = ma

So,

$W=mad$

m is mass

a is acceleration

d is displacement

The worker is moving with constant velocity, its acceleration will be 0. So, the work done by the worker is 0.

If a pebble is being transported in a stream by rolling, how does the velocity of it compare to the velocity of the stream?

AleksandrR [38]

Streams carry sediment, like pebbles, in their flows. The pebbles can be in a variety of locations in the flow, depending on it's size, the balance between the upwards velocity on the pebble (drag and lift forces), and it's settling velocity.
