I think it’s A. Mining and logging are huge factors
I believe it is called centripetal force <span />
It's gravity I believe? I'm not entirely sure.
T<span>he equation to be used here to determine the distance between two equipotential points is:
V = k * Q / r
where v is the voltage of the point, k is a constant, Q is charge of the point measured in coloumbs and r is the distance.
In this case, we can use ratio of proportions to determine the distance between the two points. in this respect,
Point 1:
V = k * Q / r = 290
r = k*Q/290 ; kQ = 290r
Point 2:
V = k * Q / R = 41
R = k*Q/41
from equation 10 kQ = 290r
R = 290/(41)= 7.07 m
The distance between the two points then is equal to 7.07 m.

Uh so I'm no master at this subject, but all stuffs accelerate at 9.8 m/s squared. So you multiply the 9.8 and the 0.20 it's given for reasons unknown other than that's what I see in my notes... and that gives you 1.96 m/s squared.
As for B, I have no idea. I think you may multiply the 1.96 by 4. Tell me your thoughts and maybe we can work it out together
