How much charge must you give the suit if you want to fall up , that is, accelerate upward at the same rate that objects normally accelerate downward due to Earth s gravity?
Dielectric Constant Of Water
Water constitutes about 70% of earth. Some important distinguishing properties of water are high molar concentration, small dissociation constant and high dielectric constant.
Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance
An electrostatic force is a force caused by stationary electric charges /fields. The electrostatic force is caused by the transfer of electrons in conducting materials. Coulomb’s law determines the amount of force between two stationary, charged particles. The electric force is the force which acts between two stationary charges. It is also called Coulomb force.
8. Imagine that you ve been invited to try out a new hoversuit , and here s how it works: Someone has set up a large flat sheet, many kilometers across, somewhere on the Earth, and they ve charged the sheet up to a uniform charge density of .1.15 x 10^-6 C. You are issued a special suit that you wear, and it has controls on it which allow you to charge the suit up to any number of Coulombs (C), positive or negative, that you might want. The idea is that you can control the amount of electrical repulsion (or attraction) between the suit and the charged sheet below you.1.15 x 10^-6 C. Suppose your mass (including the suit) is 73.3 kg. How much charge must you give the suit if you want to fall up , that is, accelerate upward at the same rate that objects normally accelerate downward due to Earth s gravity?
