Answer:

Because the zinc is reluctant

Explanation:

A leclanche cell contains a conducting solution (electrolyte) of ammonium chloride, a cathode (positive terminal) of carbon, a depolarizer of manganese dioxide (oxidizer), and an anode (negative terminal) of zinc (reductant).

As the Zn2+ ions move away from the anode, leaving their electrons on its surface,

Zn → Zn2+ + 2e−

the anode becomes more negatively charged than the cathode. When the cell is connected to an external electrical circuit, the excess electrons on the zinc anode flow through the circuit to the carbon rod, the movement of electrons forming an electric current.

A charged object is suspended motionless in the air by the gravitational force pulling it down and an electric force pushing it

Savatey [412]

The charge of the object must be $1.11 \times e^{-5} \text { coulomb }$

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Suppose an electric charge can be represented by the symbol Q. This electric charge generates an electric field; Because Q is the source of the electric field, we call this as source charge. The electric field strength of the source charge can be measured with any other charge anywhere in the area. The test charges used to test the field strength.

Its quantity indicated by the symbol q. In the electric field, q exerts an electric, either attractive or repulsive force. As usual, this force is indicated by the symbol F. The electric field’s magnitude is simply defined as the force per charge (q) on Q.

$Electric field, E=\frac{\text { Force }(F)}{q}$

Here, given E = 4500 N/C and F = 0.05 N.

We need to find charge of the object (q)

By substituting the given values, we get

$q=\frac{F}{E}=\frac{0.05 N}{4500 \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{c}}=1.11 \times e^{-5} \text { coulomb }$

A 5.0 kg wooden block is in free fall at 10 m/s. What is the Kinetic Energy for the wooden block?

andre [41]

Answer:

250 J

Explanation:

Apply the formula:

K = 1/2.m.v²

K = 1/2.5.10²

K = 1/2.5.100

K = 5.50

K = 250 Joules

But, remember that if the speed is accelerating or not, if it is, then we need to know the point in time that the question is asking for the Kinetic Energy.

In this case, I think it is just a constant speed.
