The equatorial radius of the earth is
r = 6378 km = 6378 x 10³ m

The earth makes 1 revolution in 24 hours.
The angular velocity is
ω = (2π rad)/(24*3600 s) = 7.2722 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s

The tangential velocity (linear velocity) at a point on the equator is
v = rω
   = (6378 x 10³ m)*(7.2722 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s)
   = 463.8 m/s

Answer: 463.8 m/s

asambeis [7]

Answer:

(a) 8 V, (b) 144000 V, (c) 2 x 10^(-8) C

Explanation:

(a) charge, q = 5 μC , Work, W = 40 x 10-^(-6) J

The electric potential is given by

W = q V

40\times10^{-6}=5 \times10^{-6}\times V\\\\V = 8 V

(b)

charge, q = 8 x 10^(-6) C, distance, r = 50 cm = 0.5 m

Let the potential is V.

V =\frac{k q}{r}\\\\V =\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 8\times 10^{-6}}{0.5}\\\\V =144000 V

(c)

Work, W = 8 x 10^(-5) J, Potential difference, V = 4000 V

Let the charge is q.

W= q V

8\times10^{-5}= q\times 4000\\\\q =2\times 10^{-8} C

A proton is released in a uniform electric field, and it experiences an electric force of 2.04×10−14 N toward the south.
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Part A:

E=127500N/C\\E=1.275*10^{5} N/C

Part B:

Option B (Towards the South)

Explanation:

Part A:

Magnitude if electric field E:

E=Force/charge

Force=2.04×10−14 N

Charge=1.6×10−19 C

E=\frac{2.04*10^{-14}}{1.6*10^{-19}} \\E=127500N/C\\E=1.275*10^{5} N/C

Part B:

Option B (Towards the South)

As electron is experiencing the force towards south,it means the direction of the electric field is towards the south because direction of field lines is from positive to negative, so proton is moving towards south it means negative charge is in south to which proton is attracted. So electric field is towards South.

nadezda [96]
Question is from B to C

Answer: (b) 1.5m/s

x1=3m, x2=9m
t1=1s, t2=5s
Displacement, ∆x=(9-3)m=6m
Time elapsed, ∆t=(5-1)s=4s

So average velocity v =∆x/∆t=6/4=1.5m/s
