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

Answer: Resistance = 8.21 \times 10^{-8} \Omega

The approximate diameter of a penny is, <em>d</em> = 20 mm

thickness of penny is, <em>L = </em> 1.5×10^{-3} mm

The area of penny along circular face is,A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} =\frac{\pi (20 mm\frac{1 m}{1000 m})^2}{4}

= 3.14×10^{-4} m²

The resistivity of copper is <em>ρ</em> = 1.72 x 10-8 Ωm.

Resistance,

R = \rho \frac{L}{A}  = (1.72 \times 10^{-8} \Omega m)\frac{1.5 \times 10^{-3} m}{3.14 \times 10^{-4} m^2} = 8.21 \times 10^{-8} \Omega

If there is a potential difference v between the metal and the detector, what is the minimum energy emin that an electron must h
beks73 [17]
The electrical potential energy of a charge q located at a point at potential V is given by
U=qV
Therefore, if the charge must move between two points at potential V1 and V2, the difference in potential energy of the charge will be
\Delta U = q (V_2 -V_1)=q \Delta V

In our problem, the electron (charge e) must travel across a potential difference V. So the energy it will lose traveling from the metal to the detector will be equal to 
\Delta U = e V
Therefore, if we want the electron to reach the detector, the minimum energy the electron must have is exactly equal to the energy it loses moving from the metal to the detector:
E_{min} = \Delta U = eV

Fill in the blanks to complete each statement about weathering. Weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles call
nevsk [136]

Answer:

sediments

Explanation:

Weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles called:

                 sediments

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decay of rocks into smaller fragments to produce sediments. The product of rock weathering is basically sediments. Some of the sediments can be transformed to form soils when they combine with organic matter, water and air.

Physical weathering is when rocks are physically broken into smaller pieces, but the minerals in  the rock remain the same.

             Physical weathering

Physical weathering is the disintegration of rocks into smaller bits without altering the chemical make up of the minerals. The goal of physical weathering is to expose rock surface to action of chemical weathering.

When a rock is broken down in a way that changes the mineral composition, it is called  chemical weathering

          chemical weathering

Chemical weathering is the decay of rocks by altering the minerals in a rock.

Hope this Helps! c:
