No, it's mass remains the same. It's attraction to the planets center AKA gravity changes.

Answer:

B. A repulsive force of 8.0*10^3 N.

Explanation:

As we know by Coulomb's law that the electrostatic force between two charges is given as

$F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

here we know that

$q_1 = -2 \times 10^2 C$

$q_2 = -4 \times 10^{-8} C$

r = 3.0 m

now we have

$F = \frac{(9 \times 10^9)(2 \times 10^2)(4\times 10^{-8})}{3^2}$

$F = 8000 N$

since both charges are similar charges so they will repel each other by the force we calculated above so correct answer will be

B. A repulsive force of 8.0*10^3 N.

If the electron just misses the upper plate as it emerges from the field, find the magnitude of the electric field.

Damm [24]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field be 171.76 N/C so that the electron misses the plate.

Explanation:

As data is incomplete here, so by seeing the complete question from the search the data is

vx_0=1.1 x 10^6

ax=0 As acceleration is zero in the horizontal axis so

Equation of motion in horizontal direction is given as

$s_x=v_x_0 t$

$t=\frac{s_x}{v_x}\\t=\frac{2 \times 10^{-2}}{1.1 \times 6}\\t=1.82 \times 10^{-8} s$

Now for the vertical distance

vy_o=0

than the equation of motion becomes

$s_y=v_y_0 t+\frac{1}{2} at^2\\s_y=\frac{1}{2} at^2\\0.5 \times 10^{-2}=\frac{1}{2} a(1.82 \times 10^{-8})^2\\a=3.02 \times 10^{13} m/s^2$

Now using this acceleration the value of electric field is calculated as

$E=\frac{F}{q}\\E=\frac{ma}{q}\\E=\frac{m_ea}{q_e}\\$

Here a is calculated above, m is the mass of electron while q is the charge of electron, substituting values in the equation

$E=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31} \times 3.02 \times 10^{13} }{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}\\E=171.76 N/C$

So the magnitude of the electric field be 171.76 N/C so that the electron misses the plate.

A fisherman is fishing from a bridge and is using a "44.0-N test line." In other words, the line will sustain a maximum force of

avanturin [10]

Answer:

(a) W= 44N

(b)W= 31.65 N

Explanation:

Data

T=44 N : Maximum force that the rope can withstand without breaking

Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a Formula (1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

(a) We apply the formula (1) at constant speed , then, a=0

W: heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically

∑F = 0

T-W =0

W = T

W= 44N

(b) We apply the formula (1) , a= 1.26 m/s²

W: heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically

W= m*g

m= W/g

g= 9.8 m/s² : acceleration due to gravity

∑F = 0

T-W = m*a

T= W+(W/g)*a

44=W*(1+1/9.8)* (1.26 )

44= W* 1.39

W= 44/1.39

W= 31.65 N
