It would increase
because the force is directly proportional to the Value of masses given

Two particles with charges are initially very far apart (effectively an infinite distance apart). They are then fixed at positio

ddd [48]

Answer:

potential energy increases.

Explanation:

The potential energy between the two charged particles is given by

U = k Q q / r

If they are very far apart then r tends to infinity and the potential energy is zero.

If they come closer then the potential energy between the two charged particles increases.

Thus, the potential energy increases.

The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about 1/6 of the acceleration due to gravity on the earth. A net force F acts hor

uysha [10]

Answer:

c. $a_m$

Explanation:

We are given that

Acceleration due to gravity on the moon= $a_m$

Acceleration due to gravity on the earth= $a_e$

$g_m=\frac{1}{6}g_e$

Net force due to am on an object on moon= $F_{net}=ma_m$

There is no friction and no drag force and there is no gravity involved

Then, the force acting on an object on earth= $F=ma_e$

$F=F_{net}$ (given)

$ma_m=ma_e$

$a_e=a_m$

Hence, option c is true.

Use your data (attachment) from Part 3 and Newton’s laws to explain why the force meter measures a force if the cart is moving a

vazorg [7]

The cart experiences a frictional force which is directly proportional to its weight. This means that there must be a force applied on the car to balance the forces on the car to produce a net force of 0.
This is in accordance to Newton's first law which states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion unless an external force acts on it. The force must be a resultant force.
Therefore, the force needed increases with the total weight of the cart as well as with the added mass in a linear manner.

During the first 6 years of its operation, the Hubble Space Telescope circled the Earth 37,000 times, for a total of 1,280,000,0

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

v = 384km/min

Explanation:

In order to calculate the speed of the Hubble space telescope, you first calculate the distance that Hubble travels for one orbit.

You know that 37000 times the orbit of Hubble are 1,280,000,000 km. Then, for one orbit you have:

$d=\frac{1,280,000,000km}{37,000}=34,594.59km$

You know that one orbit is completed by Hubble on 90 min. You use the following formula to calculate the speed:

$v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{34,594.59km}{90min}=384.38\frac{km}{min}\approx384\frac{km}{min}$

hence, the speed of the Hubble is approximately 384km/min
