Answer:
d. equal to one-fourth the acceleration at the surface of the asteroid.
Explanation:
The explanation is attached as a picture with this answer
Newton's law of universal gravitation is being used to compare the accelerations at the surface and at the top of the ball's path.
as it can be seen in the explanation that the proportional form of the equation is used because we do not need to necessarily use to final form with "G" for comparison calculations.
As per the given scenario only difference between the two points in the gravitational field is the distance from center of the spherical asteroid, i.e. r.
It is taken 2r for the top is the path. hence we obtain (1/4)g as our answer.
Complete question:
Point charges q1=- 4.10nC and q2=+ 4.10nC are separated by a distance of 3.60mm , forming an electric dipole. The charges are in a uniform electric field whose direction makes an angle 36.8 ∘ with the line connecting the charges. What is the magnitude of this field if the torque exerted on the dipole has magnitude 7.30×10−9 N⋅m ? Express your answer in newtons per coulomb to three significant figures.
Answer:
The magnitude of this field is 826 N/C
Explanation:
Given;
The torque exerted on the dipole, T = 7.3 x 10⁻⁹ N.m
PEsinθ = T
where;
E is the magnitude of the electric field
P is the dipole moment
First, we determine the magnitude dipole moment;
Magnitude of dipole moment = q*r
P = 4.1 x 10⁻⁹ x 3.6 x 10⁻³ = 1.476 x 10⁻¹¹ C.m
Finally, we determine the magnitude of this field;
E = 826 N/C (in three significant figures)
Therefore, the magnitude of this field is 826 N/C
