Question
A cloud has a potential difference relative to a car of 7.66 x 108 volts. During a lightning storm, a charge of 19.3 coulombs travels through this potential difference. If the energy released could somehow be harnessed and converted into kinetic energy, how fast could Mr. Baud's 2020 Kia Sorento move? His car has a mass of 1850 kilograms and starts from rest. Include units in your answer.

- On planet Tehar, the free-fall acceleration is the same as that on Earth, but there is also a strong downward electric field that is uniform close to the planet's surface. A 1.98-kg ball having a charge of 5.22 ?C is thrown upward at a speed of 20.1 m/s. It hits the ground after an interval of 4.10 s. What is the potential difference between the starting point and the top point of the trajectory? (Use 9.8 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.)arrow_forwardYou are working in a laboratory, using very sensitive measurement equipment. Your supervisor has explained that the equipment is also very sensitive to electrical discharge from human operators. Specification tables for the equipment indicate that an electrical discharge providing even a very small amount of energy of 250 μJ is enough to damage the equipment. Your supervisor wants to install an apparatus that will be used to remove the electrical charge from individuals’ bodies before they touch the equipment. To do this, she asks you to estimate (a) the capacitance of the human body and determine (b) the charge on the body and (c) the electric potential of the body, relative to a point infinitely far away, corresponding to the energy transfer that will damage the equipment.arrow_forward30 25 y = 0.8x + 1.2 %3D 20 15 10 15 20 25 30 For the plot and trendline equation above, the x-data is electric potential in volts (V) and the y-data is power in watts (W).
