If earth began to shrink, but its mass remained the same, what would happen to the value of g on earth's surface?

<span>The estimation of g on the surface of the earth relies upon mass and range, truth be told, g = GM/R^2 where G is the newton's gravitational constants, M is the mass of the earth and R the range . Should there be any occassion that would cause R to be diminished, the estimation of g would increment as the opposite square of R on the fact that R is divided, g would be 4 times the original value</span>

A man with a mass of 65.0 kg skis down a frictionless hill that is 5.00 m high. At the bottom of the hill the terrain levels out
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The horizontal distance is 4.823 m

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of man, m = 65.0 kg

Height of the hill, H = 5.00 m

Mass of the backpack, m' = 20.0 kg

Height of ledge, h = 2 m

Now,

To calculate the horizontal distance from the edge of the ledge:

Making use of the principle of conservation of energy both at the top and bottom of the hill (frictionless), the total mechanical energy will remain conserved.

Now,

KE_{initial} + PE_{initial} = KE_{final} + PE_{final}

where

KE = Kinetic energy

PE = Potential energy

Initially, the man starts, form rest thus the velocity at start will be zero and hence the initial Kinetic energy will also be zero.

Also, the initial potential energy will be converted into the kinetic energy thus the final potential energy will be zero.

Therefore,

0 + mgH = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} + 0

2gH = v^{2}

v = \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 5} = 9.89\ m/s

where

v = velocity at the hill's bottom

Now,

Making use of the principle of conservation of momentum in order to calculate the velocity after the inclusion, v' of the backpack:

mv = (m + m')v'

65.0\times 9.89 = (65.0 + 20.0)v'

v' = 7.56\ m/s

Now, time taken for the fall:

h = \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 2}{9.8} = 0.638\ s

Now, the horizontal distance is given by:

x = v't = 7.56\times 0.638 = 4.823\ m

The electrical force on a 2-c charge is 60 n. the electric field where the charge is located is
Kazeer [188]
The electrical force acting on a charge q immersed in an electric field is equal to
F=qE
where
q is the charge
E is the strength of the electric field

In our problem, the charge is q=2 C, and the force experienced by it is
F=60 N
so we can re-arrange the previous formula to find the intensity of the electric field at the point where the charge is located:
E= \frac{F}{q}= \frac{60 N}{2 C}=30 N/C

A capacitor is formed from two concentric spherical conducting shells separated by vacuum. The inner sphere has radius 11.0 cm ,
viktelen [127]
Part A)
First of all, let's convert the radii of the inner and the outer sphere:
r_A = 11.0 cm = 0.110 m
r_B = 16.5 cm=0.165 m
The capacitance of a spherical capacitor which consist of two shells with radius rA and rB is
C=4 \pi \epsilon _0  \frac{r_A r_B}{r_B- r_A}=4\pi(8.85 \cdot 10^{-12}C^2m^{-2}N^{-1}) \frac{(0.110m)(0.165m)}{0.165m-0.110m}=
=3.67\cdot 10^{-11}F

Then, from the usual relationship between capacitance and voltage, we can find the charge Q on each sphere of the capacitor:
Q=CV=(3.67\cdot 10^{-11}F)(100 V)=3.67\cdot 10^{-9}C

Now, we can find the electric field at any point r located between the two spheres, by using Gauss theorem:
E\cdot (4 \pi r^2) =  \frac{Q}{\epsilon _0}
from which
E(r) =  \frac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r^2}
In part A of the problem, we want to find the electric field at r=11.1 cm=0.111 m. Substituting this number into the previous formula, we get
E(0.111m)=2680 N/C

And so, the energy density at r=0.111 m is
U= \frac{1}{2} \epsilon _0 E^2 =  \frac{1}{2} (8.85\cdot 10^{-12}C^2m^{-2}N^{-1})(2680 N/C)^2=3.17 \cdot 10^{-5}J/m^3

Part B) The solution of this part is the same as part A), since we already know the charge of the capacitor: Q=3.67 \cdot 10^{-9}C. We just need to calculate the electric field E at a different value of r: r=16.4 cm=0.164 m, so
E(0.164 m)= \frac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r^2}=1228 N/C

And therefore, the energy density at this distance from the center is
U= \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E^2 =  \frac{1}{2} (8.85\cdot 10^{-12}C^2m^{-2}N^{-1})(1228 N/C)^2=6.68 \cdot 10^{-6}J/m^3
