Answer:

q = 3.87 x 10⁵ C

Explanation:

given,

Electric field, E = 8.60 x 10¹ = 86 N/C

radius of earth, R = 6371 Km = 6.371 x 10⁶ m

Coulomb constant, K = 9 x 10⁹ N · m²/C²

Charge on the earth = ?

the electric field at the point

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

q =\dfrac{Er^2}{k}

inserting all the values

q =\dfrac{86\times (6.371\times 10^6)^2}{9\times 10^{9}}

      q = 3.87 x 10⁵ C

The electric charge on the earth is equal to 3.87 x 10⁵ C

Isaac Newton used a ____ to break white light into its component colors.
ivann1987 [24]
<h2>Answer: Prism</h2>

In the eighteenth century Isaac Newton found out that <u>when a beam of light from the Sun, passes trhough a prism is decomposed in many different colors</u>. He named this phenomenom as dispersion of light.

This phenomenom occurs when a beam of white light (which is compound of many wavelengths or "colors") is refracted (the different rays of light are diverted depending on their wavelengths) in some medium, leaving their constituent colors separated.  

Therefore:

<h2>Isaac Newton used a <u>prism</u> to break white light into its component colors.</h2>

1. Define dark matter and dark energy, and clearly distinguish between them. What types of observations have led scientists to p
Vlada [557]

Explanation:

Dark Energy is a property of the entire universe. And the universe is roughly made up of 68% of this dark energy whereas dark matter makes up 27% of the universe matter.

   The influence of the dark matter shows in the individual galaxies whereas dark energy acts only on the entire universe. dark matter is responsible for the gravity effect on the plants and the heavenly bodies which produces gravity force. But the dark energy is known as the anti gravity force as it is responsible for the expansion of the universe. Dark matter attracts and produces an attractive force while dark energy repels and produces a repulsive force.

          Scientist believe that they exists to account for the very fact that gravity holds all the heavenly bodies and the galaxies together. They are even responsible for the fluctuation in Cosmic Microwave background. Researchers and scientist firmly believe that all the visible matter that exists may not have enough gravitational pull to hold everything together in the galaxies. And also the expanding universe strongly proves that dark energy exists in the universe.
