The earth has a vertical electric field at the surface, pointing down, that averages 119 N/C . This field is maintained by vario

velikii [3]

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:

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

A _____________ is a system that uses vertical posts which are separated to support a horizontal beam. A. Truss c. Post-and-lint

IgorC [24]

A Post-and-lintel is a system that uses vertical posts which are separated to

support a horizontal beam.

A Post-and-lintel system is commonly used in architecture and involves the

system where horizontal structures are held by vertical ones with the

presence of spaces between them.

In this scenario, we were told the system uses vertical posts which are

separated to support a horizontal beam which makes Post-and-lintel the

most appropriate choice.

a 0.199 kg snowball moving west makes an inelastic collision with a 2.89 kg box moving 0.523 m/s west. afterward,they move west

kogti [31]

Answer:

The initial velocity of the snowball was 22.21 m/s

Explanation:

Since the collision is inelastic, only momentum is conserved. And since the snowball and the box move together after the collision, they have the same final velocity.

Let $m_1$ be the mass of the ball, and $v_1$ be its initial velocity; let $m_2$ be the mass of the box, and $v_2$ be its velocity; let $v_f$ be the final velocity after the collision, then according to the law of conservation of momentum:
