When the wind kicks up dust and sand, the dust grains are charged. The small grains tend to get a negative charge, and the large

grains a positive charge. The small grains are lifted higher by the wind.?

Answer:

Explanation:

Small grains are negatively charged by the wind while big grains is positively charged and remains at the ground . This process creates an electric field due to the presence of oppositely charged particles.

When ever electric field exists it is directed from a positive charge to a negative charge so the here electric field is towards an upwards direction.

Oxana [17]

Answer:

5 mg, 5\cdot 10^{-3}g

Explanation:

First of all, let's rewrite the mass in grams using scientific notation.

we have:

m = 0.005 g

To rewrite it in scientific notation, we must count by how many digits we have to move the dot on the right - in this case three. So in scientific notation is

m=5\cdot 10^{-3}g

If  we want to convert into milligrams, we must remind that

1 g = 1000 mg

So we can use the proportion

1 g : 1000 mg = 0.005 g : x

and we find

x=\frac{(1000 mg)(0.005 g)}{1 g}=5 mg

How is a seismograph similar to an X-ray?
aleksklad [387]

Answer: Seismograph is an instrument that is used to measure the vibration of the earthquake. It is based on seismic waves. X ray is an electromagnetic energy wave that is used for CAT ( computerized axial tomography) scan.

Hence, both seismic wave and X ray are energy waves.

The velocity of seismic waves is different in different media. Similarly, X ray loses its amplitude depending upon the dense layer of the tissue.

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

\frac{kQ}{r^2} r^

Explanation:

Electric field strength= Force/unit charge

E= (kQq/r²)/q ₓ r

where r is the unit vector in the direction of unit charge

E= \frac{kQ}{r^2} r^

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer: IT IS STRONGLY REPELLED

Explanation: The laws of guiding magnetic attraction or repulsion of Magnetic materials,states that when like poles are brought together they repel each other, but when unlike poles are brought together they are attracted.

The rod will be strongly repelled because the forces on the rod is greater and has the same Polarity as the charged ball.
