What is the effect on the force of gravity between two objects if the mass of one object remains unchanged while the distance to

the second object and the second object's mass are both doubled?

Answer:

The force of gravity after you double the mass and the distance is half of the initial force: F_{2}=\frac{1}{2}F_{1}

Explanation:

The initial force of gravity is:

F_{1}=\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}

where G is the universal gravitational constant, m_{1} is the mass of the first object, m_{2} is the mass of the second object, and r is the distance between the objects.

If the mass of the second object is doubled, now we have 2m_{2}, and if the distance between the objects is also doubled instead of r now we have 2r.

So the force of gravity now is:

F_{2}=\frac{Gm_{1}(2m_{2})}{(2r)^2}\\ F_{2}=\frac{2Gm_{1}m_{2}}{4r^2} \\F_{2}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}

and we know that F_{1}=\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}

so the new force of gravity is:

F_{2}=\frac{1}{2}F_{1}

The force of gravity after you double the mass and the distance is half of the initial force.

A positive point charge Q is fixed on a very large horizontal frictionless tabletop. A second positive point charge q is release
Scilla [17]

Answer:

(A) As it moves farther and farther from Q, its speed will keep increasing.

Explanation:

When a positive charge Q is fixed on a horizontal frictionless tabletop and a second charge q is released near to it then according to the Coulombs law the force acting on it decreases with the square of the distance between them.

Mathematically:

F=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \times \frac{Q.q}{r^2}

where:

r = distance between the charges

\epsilon_0= permittivity of free space

By the Newtons' second law of motion if the we know that the acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied. So as  the distance between the charges increases the its acceleration also decreases therefore now the charge feels less acceleration but still continues to accelerate with a fading magnitude.

Physics question i appreciate your help please
den301095 [7]

Solution: From the given question, we shall find the vector quantity among the

(A) Time , (B) Velocity, (C) Distance , (D) Speed

Concept: <u>Vector Quantity: </u>All those physical quantities which have magnitude as well as specific directions, are called Vector Quantities.

Here, Time, Distance and Speed have only magnitude but have no directions so they will be scalar quantities.

Now, <u>Velocity:</u> It is defined as the change in displacement per unit time. Since the change in the displacement will be in particular direction only. Hence, velocity will be the vector quantity.

Hence, the option (B) Velocity will be the correct option.
