The earth has a vertical electric field at the surface, pointing down, that averages 100 N/C. This field is maintained by variou

s atmospheric processes, including lightning. If research came out on Planet x in a distant solar system that had a electric field with strength 222 N/C and 0.6 the radius of the earth, what would be the excess charge on planet x

Answer:

q = 3.6 10⁵  C

Explanation:

To solve this exercise, let's use one of the consequences of Gauss's law, that all the charge on a body can be considered at its center, therefore we calculate the electric field on the surface of a sphere with the radius of the Earth

          r = 6 , 37 106 m

          E = k q / r²

          q = E r² / k

          q = \frac{100 \ (6.37 \ 10^6)^2}{9 \ 10^9}

          q = 4.5 10⁵ C

Now let's calculate the charge on the planet with E = 222 N / c and radius

           r = 0.6 r_ Earth

           r = 0.6 6.37 10⁶ = 3.822 10⁶ m

           E = k q / r²

            q = E r² / k

            q = \frac{222 (3.822 \ 10^6)^2}{ 9 \ 10^9}

            q = 3.6 10⁵  C

Let us be two cylindrical conductors connected in parallel, to which a potential difference of V = 170V is applied. The two cond
PSYCHO15rus [73]

The equivalent resistance of the two cylindrical conductors connected in parallel is 466 ohm.

<h3>Resistance</h3>

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to flow of electric current. It is measured in ohms.

It is given by the formula:

R=\rho\frac{l}{A} \\\\where\ l=length,A=area,\rho=resistivity

Given that R₂ = 469 ohm, hence:

R_2=\rho\frac{l_2}{A_2} \\\\469=\rho\frac{l_2}{\pi r_2^2}

But l₁ = 6l₂, r₁ = (1/5)r₂, hence:

R_1=\rho \frac{l_1}{A_1}=\rho *\frac{6l_2}{[\pi (1/5)r_2]^2} =150 * \rho \frac{l_2}{[\pi r_2]^2}=30*469=70350\ ohm

The equivalent resistance (R) is:

R=\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_1}=\frac{469*70350}{469+70350}  =466\ ohm

The equivalent resistance of the two cylindrical conductors connected in parallel is 466 ohm.

A playground slide is inclined 40°. If a boy with a mass of 32 kg slides down for -3meters. How much work is done by gravity on
telo118 [61]

Answer:

the work done by gravity on the boy is 604.62 J

Explanation:

Given;

distance the boy slides, d = 3 m

angle of inclination of the playground, θ = 40⁰

mass of the boy, m = 32 kg

The vertical height, h, above the ground through which the boy falls represents the height of the triangle which is the opposite side.

The distance through which the boy slides, d, represents the hypotenuse side of the right triangle.

sin \theta = \frac{opposite }{hypotenuse} \\\\sin \theta = \frac{h}{d} \\\\h = dsin\theta\\\\h = 3 \times sin(40^0)\\\\h = 1.928 \ m

The work done by gravity on the boy is calculated as;

W = P.E = mgh

             = 32kg x 9.8m/s² x 1.928m

             = 604.62 J

Therefore, the work done by gravity on the boy is 604.62 J

To test the performance of its tires, a car
velikii [3]

<u>Answer</u>:

The coefficient of  static friction between the tires and the road is 1.987

<u>Explanation</u>:

<u>Given</u>:

Radius of the track, r =  516 m

Tangential Acceleration a_r=  3.89 m/s^2

Speed,v =  32.8 m/s

<u>To Find:</u>

The coefficient of  static friction between the tires and the road = ?

<u>Solution</u>:

The radial Acceleration is given by,

a_{R = \frac{v^2}{r}

a_{R = \frac{(32.8)^2}{516}

a_{R = \frac{(1075.84)}{516}

a_{R = 2.085 m/s^2

Now the total acceleration is

\text{ total acceleration} = \sqrt{\text{(tangential acceleration)}^2 +{\text{(Radial acceleration)}^2

=>= \sqrt{ (a_r)^2+(a_R)^2}

=>\sqrt{ (3.89 )^2+( 2.085)^2}

=>\sqrt{ (15.1321)+(4.347)^2}

=>19.4791 m/s^2

The frictional force on the car will be f = ma------------(1)

And the force due to gravity is W = mg--------------------(2)

Now the coefficient of  static friction is

\mu =\frac{f}{W}

From (1) and (2)

\mu =\frac{ma}{mg}

\mu =\frac{a}{g}

Substituting the values, we get

\mu =\frac{19.4791}{9.8}

\mu =1.987

Suppose a ball had a potential energy of 5 J when you dropped it.What would be it’s kinetic energy just as it hit the ground?
timama [110]

Answer:

Due to Conservation of Energy just as the ball hits the ground it's potential energy is assumed zero

Therefore disregarding air resistance all energy is converted into potential energy.

So KE = PE  

(5 J)
