If you are trying to hit a baseball as far as possible, you would want to:

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

Kipish [7]

Answer:

The excess charge on earth's surface was calculated to be 4.56 × 10⁵ C

Explanation:

Using the formula for an electric field;

E = kQ/r²

k = 1/(4πε₀) = 8.99 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²

E = 100N/C

r = radius of the earth = 6400 km = 6400000m

Q = Er²/k = 100 × (6400000)²/(8.99 × 10⁹)

Q = 455617.4 C = 4.56 × 10⁵ C

Hope this helps!!!

Two identical bullets are used. Both are released at the same height - one fired out of a gun, the other is dropped. Ignoring ai

irina [24]

Answer:

Both bullets will hit the ground at the same time.

Explanation:

Let's only analyze the vertical problem.

Any object that is not in the floor or resting in some site is being affected by the gravitational force (remember that we are ignoring air resistance)

Then the acceleration of this object will be equal to the gravitational acceleration:

a = -9.8m/s^2

Where the minus sign is because this acceleration goes down.

To get the velocity equation we need to integrate over time, we will get:

v(t) = ( -9.8m/s^2)*t + v0

Where v0 is the initial vertical velocity.

To get the position equation we need to integrate over time again, we will get:

p(t) = (1/2)*( -9.8m/s^2)*t^2 + v0*t + H

Where H is the initial height.

p(t) = (-4.9 m/s^2)*t^2 + v0*t + H

The object will hit the ground when p(t) = 0

Then we need to solve for t the next equation:

(-4.9 m/s^2)*t^2 + v0*t + H = 0

Notice that the only things we need to know are:

H = initial height (we know that is the same for both bullets)

v0 = initial vertical velocity (also is the same for both bullets)

Notice that the horizontal velocity does not affect this equation, then we will get the same value of t for the dropped bullet and for the fired bullet.

This means that both bullets will hit the ground at the same time.

Two long, parallel wires carry unequal currents in the same direction. The ratio of the currents is 3 to 1. The magnitude of the

astraxan [27]

Answer:

3A is the larger of the two currents.

Explanation:

Let the currents in the two wires be I₁ and I₂

given:

Magnitude of the electric field, B = 4.0μT = 4.0×10⁻⁶T

Distance, R = 10cm = 0.1m

Ratio of the current = I₁ : I₂ = 3 : 1
