Delicate measurements indicate that the Earth has an electric field surrounding it, similar to that around a positively charged

sphere. Its magnitude at the surface of the Earth is about 100 N/C. What charge would an oil drop of mass 2.0 x 10 15 kg have to have, in order to remain suspended by the Earth’s electric field? Give your answer in Coulombs ?

Answer:

q = 1.96 10⁴ C

Explanation:

The elective force is given by

         F_{e} = q E

Where E is the electric field and q the charge.

Let's use Newton's law of equilibrium for the case of the suspended drop

               F_{e} –W = 0

               F_{e} = W

               q E = m g

               q = m g / E

Let's calculate

              q = 2.0 10⁵ 9.8 / 100

              q = 1.96 10⁴ C

Study the diagram and calculate the effort required to balance the load​
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Solution given;

load =600N

effort=?

load distance: 0.6m

effort distance;2.6m

we have

load *load distance :effort *effort distance

0.6*600=effort *2.6

360/2.6=effort

effort:138.46N

A baseball hits a car, breaking its window and triggering its alarm which sounds at a frequency of 1210 Hz. What frequency (in H
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The frequency of sound heard by the boy is 1181 Hz.

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency of sound from alarm  f_{0} = 1210\ Hz

Speed = -8.25 m/s

Negative sign show the boy riding away from the car

Speed of sound = 343

We need to calculate the heard frequency

Using formula of frequency

f = f_{0}(\dfrac{v+v_{0}}{v-v_{s}})

Where, f_{0} = frequency of source

v_{0} = speed of observer

v_{s} = speed of source

v = speed of sound

Put the value into the formula

f=1210\times\dfrac{343+(-8.25)}{343-0}

here, source is at rest

f=1180.8\ Hz

f=1181\ Hz

Hence, The frequency of sound heard by the boy is 1181 Hz.

Calculate the amount of energy produced in a nuclear reaction in which the mass defect is 0.187456 amu.
luda_lava [24]
For nuclear reactions, we determine the energy dissipated from the process from the Theory of relativity wherein energy is equal to the mass defect times the speed of light. We calculate as follows:

E = mc^2 = 0.187456 (3x10^8)^2 = 1.687x10^16 J

Hope this answers the question.

Complete combustion of 1.0 metric ton of coal (assuming pure carbon) to gaseous carbon dioxide releases 3.3 x 1010 j of heat. co
netineya [11]
Keeping in mind that the conversion between calories and Joules is
1 cal = 4.186 J
we can write the conversion factor using the kilocalories:
1 kcal = 4186 J

The energy released in our problem is
E=3.3 \cdot 10^{10} J 
so we can set a simple proportion to find its equivalent in kcal:
1 kcal: 4186 J = x: 3.3 \cdot 10^{10} J
from which we find:
x= \frac{3.3 \cdot 10^{10} J \cdot 1 kcal}{4186 J} =7.88 \cdot 10^6 kcal
