In a), no work is done to move horizontally 'across" gravity. In b), he does (m) (g) (h) = (100)(9.8)(1) = 980 joules of work to lift the bag, and then no more work is done by the belt to move both of them horizontally.

If a planet has the same mass as the earth, but has twice the radius, how does the surface gravity, g, compare to g on the surfa

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

The surface gravity g of the planet is 1/4 of the surface gravity on earth.

Explanation:

Surface gravity is given by the following formula:

$g=G\frac{m}{r^{2}}$

So the gravity of both the earth and the planet is written in terms of their own radius, so we get:

$g_{E}=G\frac{m}{r_{E}^{2}}$

$g_{P}=G\frac{m}{r_{P}^{2}}$

The problem tells us the radius of the planet is twice that of the radius on earth, so:

$r_{P}=2r_{E}$

If we substituted that into the gravity of the planet equation we would end up with the following formula:

$g_{P}=G\frac{m}{(2r_{E})^{2}}$

Which yields:

$g_{P}=G\frac{m}{4r_{E}^{2}}$

So we can now compare the two gravities:

$\frac{g_{P}}{g_{E}}=\frac{G\frac{m}{4r_{E}^{2}}}{G\frac{m}{r_{E}^{2}}}$

When simplifying the ratio we end up with:

$\frac{g_{P}}{g_{E}}=\frac{1}{4}$

So the gravity acceleration on the surface of the planet is 1/4 of that on the surface of Earth.

A vehicle travelling at an initial velocity of 20km/hr,accelerates at 4m/s².calculate its final velocity after 10 seconds.

Nikitich [7]

acceleration = Velocity changes ÷ time of the velocity changes

4 m/s^2 =

4 × 10^(-3) × 3600 km / h =

4 × 3.6 =

14.4 km / h

Thus :

14.4 = V(2) - V(1) / t(2) - t(1)

14.4 = V(2) - 20 / 10

Multiply both sides by 10

10 × 14.4 = 10 × ( V(2) - 20 ) / 10

144 = V(2) - 20

Add both sides 20

144 + 20 = V(2) - 20 + 20

V(2) = 164 Km/h

Thus the final velocity after 10 seconds is 164 Km/h .

Charge A and charge B are 3.00 m apart, and charge A is +1.44 C and charge B is +3.10 C. Charge C is located between them at a c

Sidana [21]

Answer:

the distance from charge A to C is r₁₃= 1.216 m

Explanation:

following Coulomb's law , the force exerted by 2 point charges between themselves is:

F= k*q₁*q₂/r₁₂² , where q is charge , r is distance and 1 and 2 represents the charge A and charge B respectively , k=constant

since C ( denoted as 3) is at equilibrium

F₁₃=F₂₃

k*q₁*q₃/r₁₃²=k*q₂*q₃/r₂₃²

q₁/r₁₃²=q₂/r₂₃²

r₁₃²/q₁=r₂₃²/q₂

r₂₃=r₁₃*√(q₂/q₁)

since C is at rest and is co linear with A and B ( otherwise it would receive a net force in either vertical or horizontal direction) , we have

r₁₃+r₂₃=d=r₁₂

r₁₃+r₁₃*√(q₂/q₁)=d

r₁₃*(1+√(q₂/q₁))=d

r₁₃=d/(1+√(q₂/q₁))

replacing values

r₁₃=d/(1+√(q₂/q₁)) = 3.00 m/(1+√(3.10 C/1.44 C)) = 1.216 m

thus the distance from charge A to C is r₁₃= 1.216 m
