A charged cloud system produces an electric field in the air near earth's surface. a particle of charge -2.0 × 10-9 c is acted o

n by a downward electrostatic force of 4.3 × 10-6 n when placed in this field. (a) what is the magnitude of the electric field? (b) what is the magnitude of the electrostatic force on a proton placed in this field? (c) what is the gravitational force on the proton? (d) what is the ratio of the electrostatic force to the gravitational force in this case?

Part a)

Magnitude of electric field is given by force per unit charge

E = \frac{F}{q}

E = \frac{4.3 * 10^{-6}}{2 * 10^{-9}}

E = 2150 N/C

Part b)

Electrostatic force on the proton is given as

F = qE

F = 1.6 * 10^{-19} * 2150

F = 3.44 * 10^{-16} N

PART C)

Gravitational force is given by

F_g = mg

F_g = 1.6 * 10^{-27}*9.8

F_g = 1.57 * 10^{-26} N

PART d)

Ratio of electric force to weight

\frac{F_e}{F_g} = \frac{3.44 * 10^{-16}}{1.57*10^{-26}}

\frac{F_e}{F_g} = 2.2 * 10^{10}

How do longshore currents shape the land?
Sonbull [250]
Longshore drift has a very powerful influence on the shape and composition of the coastline. It changes the slopes of beaches and creates long, narrow shoals of land called spits, that extend out from shore. Longshore drift may also create or destroy entire “barrier islands” along a shoreline.

sineoko [7]

The true statement about the wave is that, the wave has traveled 97. 2 cm in 1 second.

In Physics, we define a wave as a disturbance along a medium that transfers energy. The wavelength of a wave is the distance covered by the wave while the frequency of the wave is the number of cycles of the wave completed per second.

The period of the wave is the inverse of the frequency of the wave. It is defined as the time taken for the wave to complete a cycle and it is measured in seconds.

The wave formula is given as;

v = λf

v = velocity of the wave (distance traveled by the wave in one second)

λ = wavelength of the wave

f = frequency of the wave

So;

λ = 32.4 cm

f =  3 hertz

v = 32.4 cm × 3 hertz

v = 97. 2 cms-1

Hence, the true statement about the wave is that, the wave has traveled 97. 2 cm in 1 second.

Why is tornadoes hitting the east coast of the USA?
OLga [1]

Answer:

The outbreak of tornadoes that tore across the Gulf and the East Coast Tuesday and Wednesday was unusual for two reasons. For one thing, the severe weather encompassed a significant swath of the country. For another, winter is the least likely time for tornadic thunderstorms.

Explanation:

The outbreak of tornadoes that tore across the Gulf and the East Coast Tuesday and Wednesday was unusual for two reasons. For one thing, the severe weather encompassed a significant swath of the country. For another, winter is the least likely time for tornadic thunderstorms.

And yet tornadoes are an expected part of life in the United States—especially in the multi-state area known as Tornado Alley. (Florida, too, sees a disproportionately high number of tornadoes, because of its frequent thunderstorms.) The United States gets more tornadoes, by far, than any other place on the planet. It averages about 1,250 twisters a year. Canada, which sees about 100 tornadoes per year, is a “distant second,” according to the National Centers for Environmental Information.
