The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

A platypus foraging for prey can detect an electric field as small as 0.002 N/C.

-To give an idea of sensitivity of the platypus's electric sense, how far from a +80nC point charge does the field have this magnitude?

Solution :

Given electric field,  E = 0.002 N/C

Charge, Q = + 80 nC

$\therefore E = \frac{kQ}{R^2} $

or $R^2=\frac{kQ}{E}$

    $R^2=\frac{9\times 10^9 \times 80 \times 10^{-9}}{0.002}$

   R = 600 m

This is the distance of the charge from the point of observations.

Un vas plin cu lichid cântăreşte 175kg. Ceea ce reprezintă de 5 ori masa vasului gol. Ştiind că volumul interior al vasului este
Mariana [72]

a) Density of the liquid: 823.5kg/m^3

b) Weight of the liquid: 1372 N

Explanation:

Translation of the text:

<em>"A full tank with liquid weighs 175kg. Which is 5 times the mass of the empty vessel. Knowing that the inside volume of the vessel is 0.17kl, calculate: </em>

<em>a) the density of the liquid; </em>

<em>b) the weight of the liquid."</em>

a)

We know that the full tank with liquid has a total mass of M = 175 kg. We can write the total mass as

M=m_L + m_V (1)

where

m_L is the mass of the liquid

m_V is the mass of the vessel

We also know that the total mass M is 5 times the mass of the empty vessel, so we have:

M=5m_V\\m_V=\frac{M}{5}=\frac{175}{5}=35 kg

which is the mass of the empty vessel.

Therefore, we can find the mass of the liquid only using (1):

m_L=M-m_V=175-35=140 kg

The density of the liquid is given by

d=\frac{m}{V}

where

m = 140 kg (mass of the liquid)

V = 0.170 kL = 170 L = 0.170 m^3 (volume of the liquid, which is equal to the volume of the vessel)

So we get

d=\frac{140}{0.170}=823.5kg/m^3

b)

The weight of a body is given by

F=mg

where

m is its mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

For the liquid in this problem, we have

m = 140 kg (mass)

g=9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration due to gravity)

Therefore, its weight is

F=(140)(9.8)=1372 N

Frequency is measured in units called?
irina1246 [14]
The frequency, f, of a wave is the number of waves passing a point in a certain time. We normally use a time of one second, so this gives frequency the unit hertz (Hz), since one hertz is equal to one wave per second.

When a potassium atom forms an ion, it loses one electron. What is the electrical charge of the potassium ion?
fomenos
The correct answer is answer choice C. +1. Since electrons have negative charges, losing one electron will cause the atom to have a positive charge of 1. This charge comes from the protons, which, until one electron was lost, balanced out the negative charge of the electrons and caused the atom to be neutral.
