Each vertical line on the graph is 1 millisecond (0.001 s) of time. What is the period and
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Each vertical line on the graph is 1 millisecond (0.001 s) of time.

We need to find the period and the frequency of the sound wave. The period of a wave is equal to the each vertical line on graph i.e. 0.001 s.

Let f be the frequency of the sound wave. So,

f = 1/T

i.e.

f=\dfrac{1}{0.001 }\\\\f=1000\ Hz

So, the period and the frequency of the sound waves is 1 milliseond and 1000 Hz respectively.

The earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 N/C and directed in toward the c
maria [59]

To solve this problem we will start using the concepts related to the electric field, from there we will find the load exerted on the body. Through this load it will be possible to make a sum of forces in balance to find the load that a human supports. Finally with these values it will be possible to find the repulsive force. We will proceed as follows,

The electric field is

E= \frac{kQ}{R^2}

Here,

k = Coulomb's Constant

Q = Charge

R = Distance (At this case from the center of mass of the earth to the surface)

Rearranging to find the charge,

Q = \frac{ER^2}{k}

Replacing,

Q = frac{(150)(6.38*10^6)}{8.99*10^9}

Q = 6.79*10^5 C

Since the electric field is directed towards the center of earth, the charge is negative.

PART A) Once the load is found we can proceed to apply the balance of Forces, for which the electrostatic force must be equivalent to the weight, this in order to satisfy the balance, therefore

F_w = F_e

mg = \frac{kQq}{R^2}

Replacing,

(62)(9.8) = \frac{(8.99*10^9)(q)(-6.79*10^5)}{(6.38*10^6)^2}

Solving for q,

q = -4.056C

PART B) Finally using the given distance and the values of the found load we can find the repulsive Force, which is

F =\frac{kq^2}{d^2}

F = \frac{(8.99*10^9)(-4.056)^2}{110^2}

F = 1.22*10^7N

PART C) The answer is no. According to the information found, we can conclude that traveling through an electric field is not viable because there is a repulsive force of great magnitude acting on the body.
