Field lines always point away from the positive side of a magnet. So i would say east but im not to sure

Answer: Towards East

Explanation:

The direction of the electric force per unit charge i.e. the electric field is given by the direction of motion of positive test charge under the electric force. The field lines are directed radially outwards for a positive charge and radially inwards for a negative charge.

Thus, the electric field points towards East for the position directly east of a positive charge

Which of the following statements is FALSE?
Levart [38]

A thrust fault is a reverse fault with an extremely high dip (close to 90°). This is the false statement.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Faults are the fracture or fracture zone occurring on the rocks. These fractures can travel through the rocks leading to massive destruction. So, depending upon the direction of their travel, the faults can be classified as normal, reverse and strike slip fault. Also, the angle of dip along the fault is one of the important criteria for determining the type of faults.

There is dip-slip fault which has its movement along the vertical fault plane while the strike slip fault will be in horizontal direction. Similarly, an oblique fault will be acting in both vertical and the horizontal direction. So, the fourth statement related to thrust fault is false as in reverse fault or thrust fault the dip will be shallow and not high.

An electron is located in an electric field of magnitude 600. newtons per coulomb. what is the magnitude of the electrostatic fo
SOVA2 [1]
The magnitude of the electrostatic force acting on a charge q is the product between the charge and the intensity of the electric field E. The magnitude of the electron charge is q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C (we are not interested in the sign), so the electrostatic force magnitude is
F=qE=(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(600 N/C)=9.6\cdot 10^{-17}N

Tyson throws a shot put ball weighing 7.26 kg. At a height of 2.1 m above the ground, the mechanical energy of the ball is 172.1
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

2.5 m/s

Explanation:

Mechanical energy is the sum of the potential and kinetic energy.

E = PE + KE

E = mgh + ½mv²

172.1 J = (7.26 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (2.1 m) + ½ (7.26 kg) v²

v = 2.5 m/s

A 1 mg ball carrying a charge of 2 x 10-8 C hangs from a
Fed [463]

Answer:

σ = 0.255*10^-3 C/m²

Explanation:

The Electric field Intensity act due to plate = σ/ε₀, where σ is surface charge density of plate.

At equilibrium ,

Upward force = downward force

Tcosθ = mg ----(1)

Assuming that the Forward force = backward force, then

Tsinθ = σq/ε₀

[ ∵ F = qE , ∴ F = qσ/ε₀ ] -----(2)

Dividing equation (2) by (1)

Tsinθ/Tcosθ = qσ/ε₀mg

⇒Tanθ = qσ/ε₀mg

σ = ε₀mg tanθ/q

Now substituting the values of

σ = (8.85*10^-12 * 1 * tan 30) / 2*10^-8

σ = (8.85*10^-12 * 0.5774) / 2*10^-8

σ = 5.11*10^-12 / 2*10^-8

σ = 0.255*10^-3 C/m²

Examine the circuit. Pretend you are an electron flowing through this circuit and you are with a group of other electrons. Sudde
melamori03 [73]

You knew that this question is ridiculously easy.  So, just to
make it harder, you decided not to let us see the picture, so
that we could not "examine the circuit".

The description is talking about a parallel circuit.  The other
kind is a series circuit, and that one has no forks in the road.
