What is the gravitational force on a 70kg that is 6.38x10^6m above the earths surface
NARA [144]

Answer:

171.5 N

Explanation:

The gravitational force on an object due to the Earth is given by

F=mg

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

The acceleration due to gravity at a certain height h above the Earth is given by

g=\frac{GM}{(R+h)^2}

where:

G is the gravitational constant

M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg is the Earth's mass

R=6.37\cdot 10^6 m is the Earth's radius

Here,

h=6.38\cdot 10^6  m

So the acceleration due to gravity is

g=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24})}{(6.37\cdot 10^6 + 6.38\cdot 10^6)^2}=2.45 m/s^2

We know that the mass of the object is

m = 70 kg

So, the gravitational force on it is

F=mg=(70)(2.45)=171.5 N

A -5.0 μC charge experiences a 11 i^ N electric force in a certain electric field. [Recall that i^ is a unit vector in the x-dir
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

\vec{F}= -3.52\times 10^{-13}\hat{i}\ N

Explanation:

given,

charge = -5.0 μC

Electric force, F = 11 i^ N

force would a proton experience = ?

we know

\vec{F} = q \vec{E}

11\hat{i} = -5 \times 10^{-6} \vec{E}

\vec{E} =-2.2 \times 10^{6}\hat{i}

we know charge of proton is equal to 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

using formula

\vec{F} = q \vec{E}

\vec{F}= 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\times -2.2 \times 10^{6}\hat{i}

\vec{F}= -3.52\times 10^{-13}\hat{i}\ N

Force experienced by the photon in the same field is equal to \vec{F}= -3.52\times 10^{-13}\hat{i}\ N
