Answer:

1.4 *10^6 N/C

Explanation:

The electric field caused by a charge at a certain point is given by the equation:

E = k \frac{q}{r} \^r

where k is the Coulomb constant equal to 8.99 *10^9 Nm^2/C^2, q the charge of the particle in coulombs, r is the distance from the point to the charge in meters.

\^r is the unitary vector that goes from the charge to the point. This vector will give us the direction of the Electric Field vector.

The unitary vector of the +5.0-μC charge will go to the right (+i), as the point is to the right of the charge. Then, the electric field caused by the charge will be:

E_1 = k \frac{q}{r^2} \^r = 8.99*10^9 Nm^2/C^2 \frac{5.0 *10^{-6}C}{(0.3m - 0m)^2}(+\^i) =  +0.5*10^6 N/C

The unitary vector of the -4.0-μC charge will go to the left (-i), as the point is to the left of the charge. Then, the electric field caused by the charge will be:

E_2 = k \frac{q}{r^2} \^r = 8.99*10^9 Nm^2/C^2 \frac{-4.0 *10^{-6}C}{(0.5m - 0.3m)^2}(-\^i) =  +0.9*10^6 N/C

The electric field at the 30 cm mark will be the addition of both electric field:

E_{total} = E_1 +E_2 = 0.5 *10^6 N/C + 0.9*10^6 N/C = 1.4 *10^6 N/C

Does a fish appear closer or farther from a person wearing swim goggles with an air pocket in front of their eyes than the fish
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

In this case, the index of seawater replacement is 1.33, the index of refraction of air is 1, which is why the angle of replacement is less than the incident angle, so the fish seems to be closer

In the opposite case, when the fish looked at the face of the man, the angle of greater reason why it seems to be further away

Explanation:

This exercise can be analyzed with the law of refraction that establishes that a ray of light when passing from one medium to another with a different index makes it deviate from its path,

      n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where n₁ and n₂ are the refractive indices of the incident and refracted means and the angles are also for these two means.

In this case, the index of seawater replacement is 1.33, the index of refraction of air is 1, which is why the angle of replacement is less than the incident angle, so the fish seems to be closer

1 sin θ₁ = 1.33 sin θ₂

        θ₂ = sin⁻¹ ( 1/1.33 sin θ₁)

In the opposite case, when the fish looked at the face of the man, the angle of greater reason why it seems to be further away

what is the acceleration of a bowling ball that starts at rest and moves 300m down the gutter in 22.4 sec
exis [7]
<span>Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time taken. It has both magnitude and direction. In this problem, the change in velocity would first have to be calculated. Velocity is distance divided by time. Therefore, the velocity here would be 300 m divided by 22.4 seconds. This gives a velocity of 13.3928 m/s. Since acceleration is velocity divided by time, it would be 13.3928 divided by 22.4, giving a final solution of 0.598 m/s^2.</span>

A space vehicle deploys its re–entry parachute when it's traveling at a vertical velocity of –150 meters/second (negative becaus
dexar [7]

Answer:

a=5m/s^2

Explanation:

Aceleration is a change on the velocity of the object in a given time.

For this case: the initial velocity is

v_{1}=150m/s

and the final velocity is :

v_{2}=0 m/s

so, the change in velocity is:

\Delta v =v_{2}-v_{1}=0m/s - (-150m/s) =  150 m/s

and the change in time , according to the problem:

\Delta t=30s

So, the aceleration is:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \frac{150m/s}{30s} = 5m/s^2
