Answer:

The electric field is  E = 7.5 *10^{6} \ N/C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The radius of the metal sphere is  R = 2.0 \ cm  =  0.02 \ m

     The excess charge which the metal sphere carries is  q =  3.0 \mu C  =  3.0*10^{-6} \ C

      The distance of the position being to the center is D = 6.0 \ cm  = 0.06 \ m

       The coulomb constant is   k =9*10^{9} \  N \cdot m^2 /C^2

Generally the electric field is mathematically represented as  

        E = \frac{k *  q}{D^2}

substituting values

        E = \frac{9*10^{9} *  30.*10^{-6}}{(0.06)^2}

      E = 7.5 *10^{6} \ N/C

disa [49]

Since the law of gravitation is an inverse square law if you quadruple the radius the f will drop by a factor of 16 SO the object would weigh 200/16 = 12.5N

In other words, as the distance, or radius, quadruples the weight becomes 1/16 of the original weight. Just plug in 4 for r and when you square it you get 16. The numerator is 1 so that is how the weight becomes 1/16.

What’s the equation that links with total input, efficiency, energy and useful output energy transfer
weqwewe [10]

Efficiency. The ratio of energy which was transferred to a useful form compared to the total energy initially supplied is called the efficiency of the device. Efficiencies can be written as decimals like 0.33 or percentages 33%. To convert a efficiency expressed as a decimal to a percentage you need to multiply by 100.

Think about how geothermal energy is captured and used. Explain how geothermal energy shows the flow of thermal energy from hot
kumpel [21]

Answer:

People can capture geothermal energy through: Geothermal power plants, which use heat from deep inside the Earth to generate steam to make electricity. Geothermal heat pumps, which tap into heat close to the Earth's surface to heat water or provide heat for buildings

When the weather is cold, the water or refrigerant heats up as it travels through the part of the loop that's buried underground. Once it gets back above ground, the warmed water or refrigerant transfers heat into the building. The water or refrigerant cools down after its heat is transferred.
