Answer:
Approximately
, assuming that the volume of these two charged objects is negligible.
Explanation:
Assume that the dimensions of these two charged objects is much smaller than the distance between them. Hence, Coulomb's Law would give a good estimate of the electrostatic force between these two objects regardless of their exact shapes.
Let
and
denote the magnitude of two point charges (where the volume of both charged object is negligible.) In this question,
and
.
Let
denote the distance between these two point charges. In this question,
.
Let
denote the Coulomb constant. In standard units,
.
By Coulomb's Law, the magnitude of electrostatic force (electric force) between these two point charges would be:
.
Substitute in the values and evaluate:
.
Answer:
3.7 m/s^2
Explanation:
The period of a simple pendulum is given by:

where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the free-fall acceleration on the planet.
Calling L the length of the pendulum, we know that:
is the period of the pendulum on Earth, and
is the free-fall acceleration on Earth
is the period of the pendulum on Mars, and
is the free-fall acceleration on Mars
Dividing the two expressions we get

And re-arranging it we can find the value of the free-fall acceleration on Mars:

The answer is 2.2 × 10^-14<span> kilometers
