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 child on a skateboard experiences a 75 N force with an acceleration of 1.5 m/s2.
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The mass of the child + skateboard is 50 kg

Explanation:

In this problem, we can apply Newton's second law:

F = ma

where

F is the net force on a system

m is the mass of the system

a is the acceleration of the system

In this problem, our system is the child + the skateboard. The net force on them is

F = 75 N

and their acceleration is

a=1.5 m/s^2

So we can re-arrange the equation above to find their combined mass:

m=\frac{F}{a}=\frac{75}{1.5}=50 kg

Greg throws a 2.8-kg pumpkin horizontally off the top of the school roof in order to hit Mr. H's car. The car has parked a dista
Igoryamba

Answer:

The horizontal velocity is v = 9.2 m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The mass of the pumpkin is  m = 2.8 \ kg

      The distance of the the car from the building's base is  d = 13.4 \ m

       The height of the roof is h = 10.4 \ m

       

The height is mathematically represented as

         h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2

Where g is the acceleration due to gravity which has a value of g =9.8 \ m/s^2

substituting values

          10.4= 0.5 * 9.8 * t

making the time taken the subject of the formula

         t = \frac{10.4}{0.5 * 9.8 }

          t = 1.457 \ s

The speed at which the pumpkin move horizontally can be represented mathematically  as

                         v = \frac{d}{t}

substituting values

                     v =\frac{13.4}{1.457}

                     v = 9.2 m/s
