Four equal masses m are so small they can be treated as points, and they are equally spaced along a long, stiff wire of neglible
anyanavicka [17]

Answer: 5m/L^2

Explanation:

Inertial I = mr^2 where r = distance from axis of rotation, while m is the mass of the object.

I = 2[m(1L/2)^2] + 2[m(3L/2)^2] = 2m×. 25/L^2+ 3m×2. 25/L^2= 0. 5m/l^2 +4. 5m/l^2

= 5m/l^2.

Determine the gravitational field 300km above the surface of the earth. How does this compare to the field on the earth's surfac
Serjik [45]
The strength of the gravitational field is given by:
g= \frac{GM}{r^2}
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
r is the distance measured from the centre of the planet.

In our problem, we are located at 300 km above the surface. Since the Earth radius is R=6370 km, the distance from the Earth's center is:
r=R+h=6370 km+300 km=6670 km= 6.67 \cdot 10^{6} m

And now we can use the previous equation to calculate the field strength at that altitude:
g= \frac{GM}{r^2}= \frac{(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})(5.97 \cdot 10^{24} kg)}{(6.67 \cdot 10^6 m)^2}  = 8.95 m/s^2

And we can see this value is a bit less than the gravitational strength at the surface, which is g_s = 9.81 m/s^2.

If the resistance is not changed but the voltage is increased, what happens to the current
julsineya [31]

We know that According to Ohm's Law :

Current passing through a Conductor is directly proportional to the Voltage over a given Resistance.

⇒ V ∝ I

⇒ V = I × R

If Resistance is not changed and Voltage is increased, Based on Ohm's law we can conclude that Current flowing will also increase, because Voltage is directly proportional to Current.
