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?

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!!!

Yall have helped a lot i just need help on this then ill be done for a while
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

f(x)=a(x - h)2 + k

Much like a linear function, k works like b in the slope-intercept formula. Like where add or subtract b would determine where the line crosses, in the linear, k determines the vertex of the parabola. If you're going to go up 2, then you need to add 2.

The h determines the movement horizontally. what you put in h determines if it moves left or right. To adjust this, you need to find the number to make the parentheses equal 0 when x equals -2 (because moving the vertex point to the left means subtraction/negatives):

x - h = 0

-2 - h = 0

-h = 2

h = -2

So the function ends up looking like:

f(x)=a(x - (-2))2 + 2

Subtracting a negative cancels the signs out to make a positive:

f(x)=a(x + 2)2 + 2Explanation:

the gas in a balloon has P=100000 pa and v=0.0279 m^3. if the pressure increases to 120000 pa at constant temperature, what is t
mash [69]

Answer:

New volume of the baloon is 0.02325m^3

Explanation:

To answer this question we need to know the ideal gas law, which says:

p•V = n•R•T

p is pressure, V is volume, n is amount of substance (in moles), R is constant value and T is temperature.

Since it's stated that n and T are constant, and we know that R is a constant too, that means that p•V = constant value. Basically, that means that p1•V1 (pressure and volume before the pressure increase) equals to p2•V2 (pressure and volume after the pressure increase).

That means that:

100000 Pa • 0.0279 m^3 = 120000 Pa • V2. Next, V2= 100000•0.0279/120000. So, V2=0.02325m^3.

It is your parent's 25th Wedding Anniversary and you thought it would be special to throw them a surprise party. Your entire fam
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

120 miles per hour.

Explanation:

We need to find the time it takes my parents to drive home from the cottage. Since my father drives at 60 miles per hour, and the cottage is 240 miles from our home, and distance = speed × time. So, time = distance/speed = 240 mi/60 mi/h = 4 h.

So, it will take my father 4 hours to drive home from the cottage.

Since I have 2 hours to prepare for the party, the time left for me to drive to the cottage is 4 - 2 hrs = 2 hrs.

So, I'm supposed to drive to the cottage in at most 2 hours.

The speed at which I must drive in this time period is thus,  speed = distance/time = 240 miles/2 hours = 120 miles per hour.

So, I must drive at a minimum speed of 120 miles per hour.
