Why did the carriages start to run in different directions?

A. the earth was shaking

Explanation:

back then in the roman times they used to e faced with alot of eathquakes and due to the floor shaking horses and carriages would be shifted

hope this helped!

(a) Electric field at 0.250 m is zero.

(b)  Electric field at 2.90 m is zero.

(c) Electric field at 3.10 m is - 5.15 x 10³ V/m.

(d) Electric field at 8.00 m is - 0.77 x 10³ V/m.

Explanation:

Let Q and R are the charge and radius of the solid metal sphere. The solid metal sphere behave as conductor, so total charge Q is on the surface of the sphere.

Electric field inside and outside the metal sphere is :

E = 0 for r ≤ R ( inside )

  = for r > R ( outside )

Here K is electric constant and r is the distance from the center of the metal sphere.

(a) Electric field at 0.250 m is zero as r < R i.e. 0.250 m < 3 m from the above equation.

(b)  Electric field at 2.90 m is zero as r < R i.e. 2.90 m < 3 m from the above equation.

(c) Electric field at 3.10 m is given by the relation as r > R :

E =

Substitute 9 x 10⁹ N m²/C² for K, -5.50 μC for Q and 3.10 m for r in the above equation.

E = -

E = - 5.15 x 10³ V/m

(d) Electric field at 8.00 m is given by the relation as r > R :

E =

Substitute 9 x 10⁹ N m²/C² for K, -5.50 μC for Q and 8.00 m for r in the above equation.

E = -

E = - 0.77 x 10³ V/m
