At the equator, the radius of the Earth is approximately 6370 km. A plane flies at a very low altitude at a constant speed of v

= 239 m/s. Upon landing, the plane can produce an average deceleration of a = 16.5 m/s².
How long will it take the plane to circle the Earth at the equator?

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of linear motion. From there we will define the distance as the circumference of the earth (approximate as a sphere). With the speed given in the statement we will simply clear the equations below and find the time.

R= 6370*10^3 m

v = 239m/s

a = 16.5m/s^2

The circumference of the earth would be

\phi = 2\pi R

Velocity is defined as,

v = \frac{x}{t}

t = \frac{x}{v}

Here x = \phi, then

t = \frac{\phi}{v} = \frac{2\pi (6370*10^3)}{239}

t = 167463.97s

Therefore will take 167463.97 s or 1 day 22 hours 31 minutes and 3.97seconds

Which calculates the intensity of an electric field at a point where a 0.50 C charge experiences a force of 20. N?
tester [92]

Answer: 40\ N/C

Explanation:

Given

Magnitude of charge is q=0.5\ C

Force experienced is F=20\ N

Electric field intensity is the electrostatic force per unit charge

\therefore E=\dfrac{F}{q}\\\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{20}{0.50}\\\\\Rightarrow E=40\ N/C

Thus, the electric field intensity is 40\ N/C

A very small object carrying -7 μC of charge is attracted to a large, well-anchored, positively charged object. How much kinetic
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

ΔK.E = 14 nJ

Explanation:

Solution:

- The charge that moves under the influence of an Electric Field produced between a potential difference (V) stores electric potential energy U within that is converted to kinetic energy.

- We will use conservation of energy on the system that contains the charged particle with charge q loses its electric potential energy U as it moves towards positively charged object that converts into a gain in Kinetic energy of the charged particle ΔK.E:

                                 ΔK.E = U

Where,

                                 U = V*q

                                 ΔK.E = V*q

                                 ΔK.E = (7*10^-6)*(2*10^-3)

                                 ΔK.E = 14 nJ

- The gain in kinetic energy is 14 nJ.
