I love buying physics toys. I recently broke out my new electromagnetic field meter and started playing with it. After turning i

t on, I noticed the device kept showing an electric field value of 200 N/C towards the ground, without being near anything obvious (e.g., an electronic device) that would be producing the electric field. I even took a long walk to check if the reading was somehow localized to my house, but I got the same result. How might you explain the reading (assuming the device is working properly)

Answer:

ionized particles from the sun.

* interactions in radiation belts.

* the friction of the planet in the solar wind

q = +9 10⁵ C

Explanation:

Due to being made up of matter, the planet Earth has a series of positive and negative charges, in general these charges should be balanced and the net charge of the planet should be zero, but there are several phenomena that introduce unbalanced charges, for example:

* ionized particles from the sun.

* interactions in radiation belts.

* the friction of the planet in the solar wind

This creates that the planet has a net electrical load

         

We can roughly calculate the charge of the planet

             E = k q / r²

             q = E r² / k

let's calculate

             q = 200 (6.37 10⁶)²/9 10⁹

              q = +9 10⁵ C

An object with a mass M = 250 g is at rest on a plane that makes an angle θ = 30 o above the horizontal. The coefficient of kine
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

v = 79.2 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the object, m = 250 g = 0.250 kg

Angle, \theta = 30^{\circ}

Coefficient of kinetic friction, \mu_{k} = 0.100

Mass attached to the string, m = 0.200 kg

Distance, d = 30 cm = 0.03 m

Now,

The tension in the string is given by:

Mgsin\theta + \mu_{k}Mgcos\theta + Ma = T        (1)

Also

T = m(g + a)

Thus eqn (1) can be written as:

Mgsin\theta + \mu_{k}Mgcos\theta + Ma = m(g - a)

Mgsin\theta + \mu_{k}Mgcos\theta + Ma = mg + ma

mg - Mgsin\theta - \mu_{k}Mgcos\theta = (M - m)a

a = \frac{0.2\times 9.8 - 0.250\times 9.8\times sin30^{\circ} - 0.1\times 0.250\times 9.8\times cos30^{\circ}}{0.250 - 0.200}

a = 10.45\ m/s^{2}

Now, the speed is given by the third eqn of motion with initial velocity being zero:

v^{2} = u^{2} + 2ad

where

u = initial velocity = 0

Thus

v = \sqrt{2ad}

v = \sqrt{2\times 10.45\times 0.03} = 0.792\ m/s
