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 normal walking speed is around 2.0 m/s . how much time t does it take the box to reach this speed if it has the acceleration 5
creativ13 [48]

Given:

u(initial velocity)=0

a=5.54m/s^2

v(final velocity)=2 m/s

v=u +at

Where v is the final velocity.

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration.

t is the time

2=0+5.54t

t=2/5.54

t=0.36 sec
