When a person collides with an inflated air bag, the impact forces the molecules of gas in the bag closer together. The compression of the gas absorbs the energy of the impact.
Answer:

Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The electric filed is
Generally according to Gauss law
=> 
Given that the electric field is pointing downward , the equation become

Here
is the excess charge on the surface of the earth
is the surface area of the of the earth which is mathematically represented as

Where r is the radius of the earth which has a value 
substituting values


So

Here
s the permitivity of free space with value

substituting values


Work needed = 23,520 J
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
height = 12 m
mass = 200 kg
Required
work needed by the crane
Solution
Work is the transfer of energy caused by the force acting on a moving object
Work is the product of force with the displacement of objects.
Can be formulated
W = F x d
W = Work, J, Nm
F = Force, N
d = distance, m
F = m x g
Input the value :
W = mgd
W = 200 kg x 9.8 m/s²x12 m
W = 23520 J
New substances are formed by chemical reactions. When elements react together to form compounds their atoms join to other atoms using chemical bonds. For example, iron and sulfur react together to form a compound called iron sulfide. Hopefully this will help you decide...
