It is found experimentally that the electric field in a certain region of Earth's atmosphere is directed vertically down. At an

altitude of 300 m the field has magnitude 60.0 N/C; at an altitude of 230 m, the magnitude is 100 N/C. Find the amount of charge contained in a cube 70 m on edge, with horizontal faces at altitudes of 230 and 300 m. Neglect the curvature of Earth.

Answer:

q=1.7346×10⁻⁶C

Explanation:

Since the electric field is perpendicular to the bottom and top of the cube,the total flux is equals the flux over the top of surface plus the flex over the lower surface

Ф(total)=Ф₃₀₀+Ф₂₃₀

But the flux is given by  Ф=E.A=EACos(θ) where θ is the angle between Area vector and electric field

So

Ф(total)=E₃₀₀A Cos(180)+E₂₃₀ACos(0)

Ф(total)=A(E₃₀₀ - E₂₃₀)

The total flux is given by Gauss Law as:

Ф(total)=q/ε₀

q=ε₀Ф(total)

q=ε₀(A(E₃₀₀ - E₂₃₀))

Substitute the given values

q=(8.85×10⁻¹²){(70²)(100 - 60)}

q=1.7346×10⁻⁶C

An object is dropped on Earth from a height of 15 m. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the object just as it hits the gro
ivolga24 [154]
Here, we know, according to 3rd Equation of Kinematics, 
v² - u² = 2as

Here, u = 0  [ Free fall ]
a = 9.8 m/s² [ constant value for the Earth system ]
s = 15 m

Substitute their values, 
v² - 0² = 2 * 9.8 * 15
v² = 294
v = √294
v = 17.15 m/s

In short, Your Answer would be Option D

Hope this helps!

In a football game, a 96 kg receiver leaps straight up in the air to catch the 0.42 kg ball the quarterback threw to him at a vi
fredd [130]

Answer:

V = 0.074 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the receiver, M = 96 Kg

mass of the ball, m = 0.42 Kg

initial speed of the ball, v = 17 m/s

initial speed of the receiver = 0 m/s

final speed.V = ?

using conservation of momentum

M u + m v = (M + m) V

0 + 0.42 x 17 = (96+0.42) V

96.42 V = 7.14

V = 0.074 m/s

hence, Speed after catching the ball is equal to 0.074 m/s
