Global positioning satellites (GPS) can be used to determine your position with great accuracy. If one of the satellites is 20,0

00 km from you, and you want to know your position to 2m, what percentage uncertainity is required?

8 0

Answer:

0.00001 %

Explanation:

The distance from satellite = 20000 km

Position range = 2 m

The percentage uncertainty is given by dividing the distance from satellite by the position range of desired accuracy.

Percentage uncertainty is given by

\dfrac{2}{20000\times 10^3}\times 100=0.00001\ \%

The percentage uncertainty that is required is 0.00001 %

As far as the field goes, the two charges opposite each other cancel!
So E = kQ / d² = k * Q / (d/√2)² = 2*k*Q / d² ◄
and since k = 8.99e9N·m²/C²,
E = 1.789e10N·m²/C² * Q / d² </span>

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Approximately 3.86\; {\rm N} (given that the magnitude of this charge is -7.35\; {\rm \mu C}.)

Explanation:

If a charge of magnitude q is placed in an electric field of magnitude E, the magnitude of the electrostatic force on that charge would be F = E\, q.

The magnitude of this charge is q = 7.35\; {\rm \mu C}. Apply the unit conversion 1\; {\rm \mu C} = 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}:

\begin{aligned} q &= 7.35\; {\mu C} \times \frac{10^{-6}\; {\rm C}}{1\; {\mu C}} = 7.35\times 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}\end{aligned}.

An electric field of magnitude E = 5.25\times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot C^{-1}} would exert on this charge a force with a magnitude of:

\begin{aligned}F &= E\, q \\ &= 5.25 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot C^{-1}} \times (-7.35\times 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}) \\ &\approx 3.86\; {\rm N}\end{aligned}.

Note that the electric charge in this question is negative. Hence, electrostatic force on this charge would be opposite in direction to the the electric field. Since the electric field points due south, the electrostatic force on this charge would point due north.
