The earth has a vertical electric field at the surface, pointing down, that averages 100 N/C. This field is maintained by variou

s atmospheric processes, including lightning. What is the excess charge on the surface of the earth?

Kipish [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The excess charge on earth's surface was calculated to be 4.56 × 10⁵ C

Explanation:

Using the formula for an electric field;

E = kQ/r²

k = 1/(4πε₀) = 8.99 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²

E = 100N/C

r = radius of the earth = 6400 km = 6400000m

Q = Er²/k = 100 × (6400000)²/(8.99 × 10⁹)

Q = 455617.4 C = 4.56 × 10⁵ C

Hope this helps!!!

A steel piano wire, of length 1.150 m and mass 4.80 g is stretched under a tension of 580.0 N.
kaheart [24]

A steel piano wire, of length 1.150 m and mass of 4.80 g is stretched under a tension of 580.0 N.the speed of transverse waves on the wire would be  372.77 m/s

<h3>What is a sound wave?</h3>

It is a particular variety of mechanical waves made up of the disruption brought on by the movements of the energy. In an elastic medium like the air, a sound wave travels through compression and rarefaction.

For calculating the wave velocity of the sound waves generated from the piano can be calculated by the formula

V= √F/μ

where v is the wave velocity of the wave travel on the string

F is the tension in the string of piano

μ is the mass per unit length of the string

As given in question a steel piano wire, of length 1.150 m and mass of 4.80 g is stretched under a tension of 580.0 N.

The μ is the mass per unit length of the string would be

μ = 4.80/(1.150×1000)

μ = 0.0041739 kg/m

By substituting the respective values of the tension on the string and the density(mass per unit length) in the above formula of the wave velocity

V= √F/μ

V=√(580/0.0041739)

V =  372.77 m/s

Thus,  the speed of transverse waves on the wire comes out to be  372.77 m/s

How did Archimedes measure the mass of the block of gold?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
Archimedes found a piece of gold and a piece of silver with exactly the same mass. He dropped the gold  into a bowl filled to the brim with water and measured the volume of water that spilled out. Then he did the same thing with the piece of solver. Although both metals had the same mass, the silver gad a larger volume; therefore, it displaced more water than the gold did. That's because the silver was less dense than gold. Afterwards he applied the same method to the crown for the king he served who had got a new crown from a jeweler who gave it to him. Archimedes found a piece of pure gold that had the same mass as the crown. He placed the pure gold chuck and the crown in water, one at a time. The crown displaced more water the piece of gold. Therefore, its density was less than pure gold.

Two fire trucks have sirens that emit waves of the same frequency. As the fire trucks approach a person, the person hears a high
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Only option A is correct

Explanation:

From the concept of Doppler effect, only speed matters. Thus, the faster a vehicle is moving, the closer together the sound waves get compressed and the higher the frequency. For example, for a very fast vehicle traveling at the speed of sound; the compressions are all right on top of each other. Thus, faster speed means closer compressions and higher frequencies. Hence, option only option A must be true because X is a higher frequency and so it must be going faster. The distance to the person will affect the volume but will not the pitch so Option B is not correct. Option C too is not correct because It doesn’t matter whether you are speeding up or slowing down, it only matters who is going faster. For example, from option c concept, if truck X was going 10 m/h and speeding up while truck Y was going 50 mph and slowing down, it would not meet the requirement that X has a higher frequency because only actual speed matters, not what is happening to that speed. Thus only option A is the correct answer
