Assume Earth and a cloud layer 0.900 Km above the Earth can be treated as plates of a parallel-plate capacitor. a. If the cloud layer has an area of 2.00 × 104 m2, what is the capacitance?
b. If an electric field strength of 2.0 × 105 N/C causes the air to conduct charge (lightning), what charge can the cloud hold?
c. Describe what must happen to its molecules for air to conduct electricity.

Arunner is training for an upcoming marathon by running around a 100-m-diameter circular track at constant speed. let a coordinate system have its origin at the center of the circle with the x-axis pointing east and the y-axis north. the runner starts at (x, y) = (50 m, 0 m) and runs 2.5 times around the track in a clockwise direction.

A14 kg rock starting from rest free falls through a distance of 5.0 m with no air resistance. find the momentum change of the rock caused by its fall and the resulting change in the magnitude of earths velocity. earth mass is 6.0 * 10^24 kg. show your work assuming the rock earth system is closed.
