Answer:
8.37×10⁻⁴ N/C
Explanation:
Electric Field: This is the ratio of electrostatic force to electric charge. The S.I unit of electric field is N/C.
From the question, the expression for electric field is given as,
E = F/Q.......................... Equation 1
Where E = Electric Field, F = force experienced by the charged balloon, Q = Charge on the balloon.
Given: F = 8.2×10⁻² Newton, Q = 9.8×10 Coulombs = 98 Coulombs
Substitute these values into equation 1
E = 8.2×10⁻² /98
E = 8.37×10⁻⁴ N/C
Hence the Electric Field of the charged balloon = 8.37×10⁻⁴ N/C
Answer:
2.45 J
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Mass (m) = 0.5 kg
Height (h) = 1 m
Kinetic energy (KE) =?
Next, we shall determine the velocity of the rock after it has fallen half way. This can be obtained as follow:
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Height (h) = 1/2 = 0.5 m
Final velocity (v) =?
v² = u² + 2gh
v² = 0² + (2 × 9.8 × 0.5)
v² = 9.8
Take the square root of both side
v = √9.8
v = 3.13 m/s
Finally, we shall determine the kinetic energy of the rock after it has fallen half way. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass (m) = 0.5 kg
Velocity (v) = 3.13 m/s
Kinetic energy (KE) =?
KE = ½mv²
KE = ½ × 0.5 × 3.13²
KE = 0.25 × 9.8
KE = 2.45 J
Therefore, the kinetic energy of the rock after it has fallen half way is 2.45 J
Answer:
0.75 m³/s
Explanation:
Applying,
Q = vA.................... Equation 1
Where Q = flow rate of the water, v = velocity of the water, A = area of the pipe.
From the question,
Given: v = 2.5 m/s, A = 0.3 m²
Substitute these values into equation 1
Q = 2.5(0.3)
Q = 0.75 m³/s
Hence the flow rate of water in the pipe is 0.75 m³/s
Answer:
Gwen’s assumption of asteroid hit as long term change is incorrect. Asteroid hit is not a long term change, instead, it is a short term change.
Explanation:
Examples of short term changes are drought, flood, volcanic eruption, etc. A short term change occurs quickly and can immediately affect organisms but it doesn’t become a reason for species extinction. The effects of a short term change don’t prevail over a long span of time.
Examples of long term changes are ice age, global warming, deforestation, etc. Unlike a short term change, it takes time but the consequences are far-reaching. It can lead to species extinction.
In this question, asteroid hit is a quick and unexpected hazard, unlike the slow long term environmental changes.
Because chemical changes result in different substances, they often cannot be undone. Some chemical changes can be reversed, but only by other chemical changes.
