Conservation of momentum: total momentum before = total momentum after
Momentum = mass x velocity
So before the collision:
4kg x 8m/s = 32
1kg x 0m/s = 0
32+0=32
Therefore after the collision
4kg x 4.8m/s = 19.2
1kg x βm/s = β
19.2 + β = 32
Therefore β = 12.8 m/s
Answer:
The stronger person holds it closer to them.
Explanation:
if the stronger person were to hold the ladder closer to them, they would be holding more of the weight thus making the weaker person have less weight. this is because of the center of gravity being closer to the stronger person.
Answer: option A. Reduce the distance by a factor of 4.
Explanation:
1) The electric potential energy, U is given by the formula
<h2>

</h2>
Where U is the electric potential energy, Q and q are the magnitude of the charges, and r is the distance between the charges.
2) That means that the electric potential energy is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the distance between the two charges.
3) Therefore, withoud modifying the charges, when you reduce the distance, r, by a factor, the electric potential energy will be increased by the same factor.
Mathematically you can prove that in this way:
<h2>U₁ = KQq / r₁</h2>
<h2>U₂ = KQq / r₂</h2>
<h2>U₂ = 4 U₁ ⇒ </h2><h2 /><h2>KQq / r₂ = 4 KQq / r₁ ⇒ 1 / r₂ = 4 / r₁ ⇒ r₂ = r₁ / 4.</h2>
Which is that the distance is reduced by a factor of 4.
Basically, gravity is dependent on mass, where all things – from stars, planets, and galaxies to light and sub-atomic particles – are attracted to one another. Depending on the size, mass and density of the object, the gravitational force it exerts varies. And when it comes to the planets of our solar system, which vary in size and mass, the strength of gravity on their surfaces varies considerably.
For example, Earth's gravity, as already noted, is equivalent to 9.80665 m/s2 (or 32.174 ft/s2). This means that an object, if held above the ground and let go, will accelerate towards the surface at a speed of about 9.8 meters for every second of free fall. This is the standard for measuring gravity on other planets, which is also expressed as a single g.
