Answer:

8 N

Explanation:

Using the equation F=ma (F: force/ m: mass in kg/ a: acceleration),

F = (800/1000)(10)

F = 8 N

Answer:

The gravitational force is 3.509*10^17 times larger than the electrostatic force.

Explanation:

The Newton's law of universal gravitation and Coulombs law are:

$F_{N}=G m_{1}m_{2}/r^{2}\\F_{C}=k q_{1}q_{2}/r^{2}$

Where:

G= 6.674×10^−11 N · (m/kg)2

k = 8.987×10^9 N·m2/C2

We can obtain the ratio of these forces dividing them:

$\frac{F_{N}}{F_{C}}=\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{kq_{1}q_{2}}=0.742\times10^{-20}\frac{C^{2}}{kg^{2}}\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{q_{1}q_{2}}$ --- (1)

The mass of the moon is 7.347 × 10^22 kilograms

The mass of the earth is 5.972 × 10^24 kg

And q1=q2=Na*e=(6.022*10^23)*(1.6*10^-19)C=9.635*10^4 C

Replacing these values in eq1:

$\frac{F_{N}}{F_{C}}}}=0.742\times10^{-20}\frac{C^{2}}{kg^{2}}\frac{7.347\times5.972\times10^{46}kg^{2}}{(9.635\times10^{4})^{2}}$

Therefore

$\frac{F_{N}}{F_{C}}}}=3.509\times10^{17}$

This means that the gravitational force is 3.509*10^17 times larger than the electrostatic force, when comparing the earth-moon gravitational field vs 1mol electrons - 1mol protons electrostatic field

P6: An object of mass m sits on a spring of constant k in an elevator that is accelerating upwards with acceleration a. a) In te

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

(a). The spring compressed is $\dfrac{ma+mg}{k}$ .

(b). The acceleration is 1.5 g.

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration = a

mass = m

spring constant = k

(a). We need to calculate the spring compressed

Using balance equation

$kx-mg=ma$

$x=\dfrac{ma+mg}{k}$ ....(I)

The spring compressed is $\dfrac{ma+mg}{k}$ .

(b). If the compression is 2.5 times larger than it is when the mass sits in a still elevator,

The compression is given by

$x=2.5\times x_{0}$

Here, acceleration is zero

So, $x=2.5\times\dfrac{mg}{k}$

We need to calculate the acceleration

Put the value of x in equation (I)

$2.5\times \dfrac{mg}{k}=\dfrac{ma+mg}{k}$

$2.5\times\dfrac{mg}{k}=\dfrac{m}{k}(a+g)$

$a=2.5g-g$

$a=1.5g$

Hence, (a). The spring compressed is $\dfrac{ma+mg}{k}$ .

(b). The acceleration is 1.5 g.
