Answer:

q=5.37*10^{5}C

Explanation:

If we assume that the Earth is a spherical conductor, according to  Gauss's Law, the electric field is given by:

E=\frac{kq}{r^2}

Here k is the Coulomb constant, the excess charge on the Earth's surface and r its radius. Solving for q:

q=\frac{Er^2}{k}\\q=\frac{119\frac{N}{C}(6.371*10^6m)^2}{8.99\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}}\\q=5.37*10^{5}C

To wait until the oncoming vehicle passes before completing a left turn is known as:
Reika [66]

Answer:

Risk rejection

Explanation:

There are several factors that contribute to the degree of driving risks and they include but not limited to the ability of the driver and the condition of a vehicle. Other factors are condition of the environment and the condition of the highway. When driving, a driver may wait until an oncoming vehicle passes before making a complete left turn as a risk rejection strategy. Left turns are more dangerous when making them because drivers tend to accelerate on to a left turn. The wider radius of a  left turn is know to led to higher speeds and greater pedestrian exposure. A driver is advised to have more mental and physical efforts when making a left turn.
