The average speed between earth and the sun is 1.50 x10^8 km. Calculate the average speed of the Earth in its orbit in kilometers per second.

The average speed of the earth in its orbit is

Explanation:

The average distance between the Earth and the Sun is .

The average speed of the earth in its orbit can be found by the next equation :

 (1)

Where r is the radius and T is the period.

In this case, the orbit of the Earth can be considered as a circle

() instead of an ellipse.

It takes 1 year to the Earth to make one revolution around the Sun. Therefore, its period will be 365.25 days.

Notice that to express the period in terms of seconds, the following is needed:

⇒

Then, equation 1 can be used:

a small object of mass 3.66 g and charge -17.6 µc is suspended motionless above the ground when immersed in a uniform electric field perpendicular to the ground. what are the magnitude and direction of the electric field?

they should be similar or the same
