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

Anestetic [448]

Energy absorbed by the radiologist is 1.775*10^-6J.

To find the answer, we have to know about the radiation.

<h3>How much energy has she absorbed?</h3>
  • We have the expression for dose of absorption as,

           D=\frac{E}{m}

where; E is the energy absorbed and m is the mass of the body.

  • From the above expression, substituting appropriate values given in the question, we get,

         E=D*m=2.5*10^{-6}J/kg*71kg=1.775*10^{-4}J

Thus, we can conclude that, the Energy absorbed by the radiologist is 1.775*10^-6J.

FromTheMoon [43]
False, because the ions of the solar wind collide with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen from the Earth's atmosphere. The energy released during these collisions causes an aurora.
