To calculate the rate, first convert units properly. Since 1 kilogram equals 1,000,000 micrograms, 1.6 kilograms is 1,600,000 micrograms. One week has 604,800 seconds. Therefore, dividing 1,600,000 micrograms by 604,800 seconds gives the rate. Simplifying, this results in 2.65 µg/s. I hope this answers your question.
Inside the hollow plastic ball, there is no electric field present. According to Gauss's law, the electric field at a closed Gaussian surface is determined by the charges enclosed within it. To assess the electric field inside, we consider a spherical Gaussian surface inside the ball. Since all charge is located on the surface of the sphere, this Gaussian surface encloses no charge at all; thus, per Gauss's law, the result is that the electric field remains zero.
Response:
In primary cells, an electric potential arises due to chemical reactions occurring between the internal plates. Zinc ions, which are positively charged, move into the acid, while freed electrons from zinc atoms accumulate on the zinc plate, leading to a negative charge. Concurrently, positively charged hydrogen ions from the acid strip electrons from the copper plate, giving it a positive charge. Electrons transition from the zinc plate to the copper plate through a conductor for the duration of the chemical reaction.
Dry cells create electric potential similarly through internal chemical processes. Electrons taken from a carbon rod gather on a zinc can, resulting in a positive charge on the rod and a negative charge on the can; thus establishing an electric potential between them. As long as the conductive link remains intact, electrons transfer from the can to the rod.
Electric potential in generators is produced through magnetic induction. When a conductive rod is moved within the magnetic field of a horseshoe magnet, it generates an electric potential along the rod. Electrons travel through the rod from one end to the other for as long as the movement persists. The direction of movement is influenced by whether the rod is being moved against or with the magnetic field lines. Generators typically consist of several conductors fixed onto a rotating cylinder situated in a magnetic field.
Thermocouples convert heat to electric potential. A junction is created by connecting two metal strips at one end, while their other ends remain separated. Heating the junction raises the temperature of both strips. The ends that are not heated generate electric charges due to differing temperatures. Connecting these ends with a conductive wire allows electrons to flow through. The voltage generated increases with the temperature difference between the ends and the junction.

To convert watt-hours (Wh) to British thermal units (Btu), divide the Wh amount by 0.293, since 1 Btu = 0.293 Wh. Thus, 0.8 ÷ 0.293 = 2.73 Btu
Calculating energy usage: 365 days × 10 hours × 40 W = 146,000 Wh, equivalently 146 kWh

6.0 m longer because he ran 3 m out and then ran back 3 m at the end, which makes his net displacement look zero but his actual running distance is 6 m.
The refrigerator experiences a net force of 400 N directed to the right. The net force, also known as the resultant force, is the total of all forces impacting an object in both x and y directions. In the context of vertical forces, the gravitational force acts downwards while the normal force acts upwards, preventing the object from falling. On the horizontal axis, the applied force propels motion to the left or right, in contrast to friction that resists movement. In this scenario, we can assess the forces affecting both axes:
For the x-axis:
Gravitational force = -1960 N
Normal force = +1960 N
Net force = -1960 N + 1960 N = 0
Given that the gravitational force results from the object’s weight (mass multiplied by gravitational acceleration at 9.8 m/s²) and since the object remains stationary, these forces balance each other. Therefore, the normal force equals the downward gravitational force but in the opposite direction. Evaluating forces along the y-axis shows a net force of 0, indicating no upward or downward movement.
For the y-axis:
Applied force = +400 N
Friction = 0
Net force = +400 N + 0 = +400 N
The applied force is classified as +400 N, signifying rightward direction. Because friction is acknowledged to be non-existent (or turned off), the result is an overall net force of +400 N acting towards the right.
