Softa [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

a) 1.00 - 0.12 = 0.88

m = 1200(0.88)^t

b) t = ln(m/1200) / ln(0.88)

c) m = 1200(0.88)^10 = 334.20 g

d) t = ln(10/1200) / ln(0.88) = 37.451... = 37 s

e) t = ln(1/1200) / ln(0.88) = 55.463... = 55 s

What is the magnitude (in N/C) and direction of an electric field that exerts a 3.50 ✕ 10−5 N upward force on a −1.55 µC charge?
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The magnitude of electric field is  22.58 N/C

Solution:

Given:

Force exerted in upward direction, \vec{F_{up}} = 3.50\times 10^{- 5} N

Charge, Q = - 1.55\micro C = - 1.55\times 10^{- 6} C

Now, we know by Coulomb's law,

F_{e} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}\frac{Qq}{R^{2}}

Also,

Electric field, E = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}\frac{q}{R^{2}}

Thus from these two relations, we can deduce:

F = QE

Therefore, in the question:

\vec{E} = \frac{\vec F_{up}}{Q}

\vec{E} = \frac{3.50\times 10^{- 5}}{- 1.55\times 10^{- 6}}

\vec{E} = - 22.58 N/C

Here, the negative side is indicative of the Electric field acting in the opposite direction, i.e., downward direction.

The magnitude of the electric field is:

|\vec{E}| = 22.58\ N/C

What is the difference between diatomic and poly-atomic molecules? Site some examples.
Olegator [25]
Their difference lies in the prefix used before each root word, atom. The diatomic molecules are composed only of 2 atoms such as that of the diatomic elements: H2, O2, N2, Cl2, etc. On the other hand, polyatomic molecules are made up of three or mole atoms such as NH4+, H2SO4, etc.

The charges on the proton and electron are typically measured in: Select the correct answer below: volts amperes coulombs dalton
malfutka [58]

Answer: columbs

Explanation:

Electrical charge are measured in columbs, usually demoted as C. Hence, the charges on proton and electron will be measured in Coloumbs. It typically measures the amount of electricity conveyed per second by a current of 1 ampere. The other units Given such as ; Volt is used for measuring voltage, which is the pressure in an electrical source. AMPERE is used for measuring the current flowing through an electrical circuit.

Dalton is a unit of mass and is about 1.660 * 10^-27 kg

The chart below shows the average surface temperature or temperature range for each of the eight planets.
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

A) Earth and the other inner planets have higher average surface temperatures than the outer planets.

Explanation:

the earth and the other inner planets have higher average surface temperatures than the outer planets.

The reason for this response is due to the distance between the sun and the respective planet, the source of energy generation is the sun and the only way in which the temperature increase of each planet is guaranteed is by radiation, the further away a planet is from its star, its temperature will decrease. Although it is also important to highlight the atmospheric composition of the planet if this planet in its stratosphere has high density clouds that do not allow the entry of solar radiation, the temperature of the planet's surface will not increase, independent of the distance from the sun, but these are more complex cases where specialists in that area enter to perform a study in detail.
