Explanation:

a) F = GmM / r²

F = (6.67×10⁻¹¹) (500) (5.98×10²⁴) / (6.4×10⁶ + 1.5×10⁶)²

F = 3200 N

b) F = ma

3200 = 500a

a = 6.4 m/s²

c) a = v² / r

640 = v² / (6.4×10⁶ + 1.5×10⁶)

v = 7100 m/s

An object moves in a straight line and is speeding up. Which one of the following statements is true?
kaheart [24]
I could be wrong on this one, but I think the answer is the first option, The net force on the object is in the direction of motion.

Friction can be acting on the object, but if the other force(s) that are acting on the object are greater, I think the object will still be able to accelerate.

The third option can't be true, according to Newton's second law (f=ma). If there were no forces acting on the object, or if the net forces cancelled each other out, the object wouldn't be accelerating unless its mass was changing.

I suppose the last option is also technically true, but the first is more specific..?

Ask Your Teacher In the air over a particular region at an altitude of 500 m above the ground, the electric field is 120 N/C dir
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

1.475\times 10^{-13}\ C/m^3

Explanation:

\epsilon_0 = Permittivity of free space = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m

A = Area

h = Altitude = 600 m

Electric flux through the top would be

-110A (negative as the electric field is going into the volume)

At the bottom

120A

Total flux through the volume

\phi=120-110\\\Rightarrow \phi=10A

Electric flux is given by

\phi=\dfrac{q}{\epsilon_0}\\\Rightarrow q=\phi\epsilon_0\\\Rightarrow q=10A\epsilon_0

Charge per volume is given by

\rho=\dfrac{q}{v}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\dfrac{10A\epsilon_0}{Ah}\\\Rightarrow \rho=dfrac{10\epsilon_0}{h}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\dfrac{10\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}{600}\\\Rightarrow \rho=1.475\times 10^{-13}\ C/m^3

The volume charge density is 1.475\times 10^{-13}\ C/m^3

A solid disk has a mass of 162 kg and a radius of 1.30m. This
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

754.3 m

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of the solid disk:

I = mR^2/2

Where m is the disk mass and R is the radius of the disk.

I = 162*1.3^2/2 = 136.89 kgm^2

The angular kinetic energy of the disk is then:

E_k = I\omega^2/2 = 136.89 * 18^2/2 = 22176.18 J

By law of energy conservation, this energy is converted to potential energy to pick up the 3kg block

let g = 9.8 m/s2

E_p = m_bgh = 22176.18 J

where m_b = 3 kg is the mass of block

3*9.8h = 22176.18

h = \frac{22176.18}{3*9.8} = 754.3 m
