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 particle is moving along the x-axis so that its position at any time t is greater than and equal to 0 is given by x(t)=2te^-t?
erastovalidia [21]
For speed you can differentiate the equation, for acceleration you can again differentiate the equation .
at t=0 the particle is slowing down , when you get equation for velocity put t=0 then only -1 is left

What is a fixed volume
nasty-shy [4]

A fixed volume is where either a solid or liquid has a volume that is constant under the same pressure and temperature. A gas cannot have a fixed volume because it changes by itself without any human interaction.

Best of Luck!
