ELECTROSTATIC:

relating to stationary electric charges or fields as opposed to electric currents.

NEUTRAL:

nor negative nor positive/having no charge

POSITIVELY CHARGED:

positive charge occurs when the number of protons exceeds the number of electrons

NEGATIVELY CHARGED:

negative charge occurs when the number of electrons exceeds the number of protons.

COULOMB:

SI unit for electric charge. One coulomb is equal to the amount of charge from a current of one ampere flowing for one second.

MICROCOULOMB:

a unit of electrical charge equal to one millionth of a coulomb.

NANOCOULOMB:

Nanocoulombs are a unit of charge 1,000,000,000 times smaller than Coulomb.

CONSERVATION OF CHARGE:

constancy of the total electric charge in the universe or in any specific chemical or nuclear reaction

QUANTISATION OF CHARGE:

Charge quantization is the principle that the charge of any object is an integer multiple of the elementary charge.

A hot air balloon is traveling vertically upward at a constant speed of 4.5 m/s. When it is 28 m above the ground, a package is
ella [17]

Answer:

1.97 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 21=4.5t+\frac{1}{2}\times -9.8\times t^2\\\Rightarrow 21=-4.5t-4.9t^2\\\Rightarrow 4.9t^2+4.5t-28=0\\\Rightarrow 49t^2+45t-280=0

Solving the above equation we get

t=\frac{-45+\sqrt{45^2-4\cdot \:49\left(-280\right)}}{2\cdot \:49}, \frac{-45-\sqrt{45^2-4\cdot \:49\left(-280\right)}}{2\cdot \:49}\\\Rightarrow t=1.97, -2.89

So, the time the package was in the air is 1.97 seconds

A 4.0 kg shot put is thrown with 30 N of force. What is its acceleration?
weeeeeb [17]

7.5 m/s

a = F ÷ m

a = (30 N) ÷ (4.0 kg)

a = 7.5 m/s2

According to Newton’s first law of motion, what will an object in motion do when no external force acts on it?
KonstantinChe [14]

By definition, we have to:

Newton's first law states that any object will remain in a state of rest or with a uniform rectilinear motion unless an external force acts on it.

Therefore, according to the first law of Newton, if the object is already in motion and has no force acting on it then, it will remain with a uniform rectilinear motion.

Answer:

The object will remain with a uniform rectilinear movement when the external force does not act on it.
