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

A baseball pitcher throws the ball towards the batter at 90 mph. His bat connects with the ball for a line drive, after which th
forsale [732]

Answer:

F=-18412.9N, where the minus indicates the direction is opposite to that of the throw.

Explanation:

a)

Since MKS stands for meter-kilogram-second and we know that:

1\ hour = 3600\ seconds

1\ mile = 1600\ meters

1000g = 1kg

We can write that:

\frac{1\ hour}{3600\ seconds}=1

\frac{1600\ meters}{1\ mile}=1

\frac{1kg}{1000g}=1

These are conversion factors, equal to 1, so multiplying our results by them won't change their value, only their units.

So we have that:

90 mph=90 \frac{miles}{hour}(\frac{1\ hour}{3600\ seconds})(\frac{1600\ meters}{1\ mile})=40m/s

110 mph=110 \frac{miles}{hour}(\frac{1\ hour}{3600\ seconds})(\frac{1600\ meters}{1\ mile})=48.89m/s

145 g=145 g(\frac{1kg}{1000g})=0.145kg

b)

Newton's 2nd Law tells us that F=ma, and the definition of acceleration is a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}, so we have:

F=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=m\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

Taking the throw direction as the positive one, for our values we have:

F=m\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}=(0.145kg)\frac{(-48.89m/s)-(+40m/s)}{0.0007s}=-18412.9N

The radius of Saturn is about 10 times the radius of Venus and the mass is about 100 times that of Venus. How much larger is the
lora16 [44]

let the mass of Venus is M then mass of Saturn is 100 M

similarly if the radius of Venus is R then the radius of Saturn is 10 R

now the force of gravity on a man of mass "m" at the surface of Venus is given by

F_1 = \frac{GMm}{R^2}

now similarly the gravitational force on the man if he is at the surface of Saturn

F_2 = \frac{G*100M*m}{(10R)^2}

F_2 = \frac{GMm}{R^2}

so here if we divide the two forces

\frac{F_1}{F_2} = 1

so here we can say

F1 = F2

so on both planets the gravitational force will be same
