A spark plug in a car's engine creates a spark by charging up an electrode so much that the electric field in the surrounding gas/air mixture exceeds the "dielectric strength" of the gas/air mixture. The electrode gradually wears to a spherical shape, so we can model this problem as an isolated, charged, metal sphere of diameter 1.8-mm. Part A Find the minimum potential (relative to infinity) for an isolated, charged, metal sphere (with diameter as given in the introduction) such that it will create a spark. Assume the dielectric strength of the gas/air mixture surrounding the sphere is 3 MV/m. Express your answer using two significant figures.

•• al and bert are jogging side-by-side on a trail in the woods at a speed of 0.75 m/s. suddenly al sees the end of the trail 35 m ahead and decides to speed up to reach it. he accelerates at a constant rate of 0.50 m/s2, while bert continues on at a constant speed. (a) how long does it take al to reach the end of the trail? (b) once he reaches the end of the trail, he immediately turns around and heads back along the trail with a constant speed of 0.85 m/s. how long does it take him to meet up with bert? (c) how far are they from the end of the trail when they meet?
