The mass is still 12kg. Mass is the amount of matter, so that is independent of gravity. However, weight differs. Weight of this object on earth would be 117.6 N and 19.6 N on the moon.

Q1 is located at the origin, Q2 is located at x = 2.50 cm and Q3 is located at x = 3.50 cm. Q1 has a charge of +4.92μC and Q3 ha
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

+1.11\mu C

Explanation:

A charge located at a point will experience a zero electrostatic force if the resultant electric field on it due to any other charge(s) is zero.

Q_1 is located at the origin. The net force on it will only be zero if the resultant electric field intensity due to Q_2 and Q_3 at the origin is equal to zero. Therefore we can perform this solution without necessarily needing the value of Q_1.

Let the electric field intensity due to Q_2 be +E_2 and that due to Q_3 be -E_3 since the charge is negative. Hence at the origin;

+E_2-E_3=0..................(1)

From equation (1) above, we obtain the following;

E_2=E_3.................(2)

From Coulomb's law the following relationship holds;

+E_2=\frac{kQ_2}{r_2^2}\\  

-E_3=\frac{kQ_3}{r_3^2}

where r_2 is the distance of Q_2 from the origin, r_3 is the distance of Q_3 from the origin and k is the electrostatic constant.

It therefore means that from equation (2) we can write the following;

\frac{kQ_2}{r_2^2}=\frac{kQ_3}{r_3^2}.................(3)

k can cancel out from both side of equation (3), so that we finally obtain the following;

\frac{Q_2}{r_2^2}=\frac{Q_3}{r_3^2}................(4)

Given;

Q_2=?\\r_2=2.5cm=0.025m\\Q_3=-2.18\mu C=-2.18* 10^{-6}C\\r_3=3.5cm=0.035m

Substituting these values into equation (4); we obtain the following;

\frac{Q_2}{0.025^2}=\frac{2.18*10^{-6}}{0.035^2}\\\\hence;\\\\Q_2=\frac{0.025^2*2.18*10^{-6}}{0.035^2}\\

Q_2=\frac{0.00136*10^{-6}}{0.00123}=1.11*10^{-6}C\\\\Q_3=+1.11\mu C

An Earth satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 500 km.
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Speed Unchanged.

Explanation:

As work is defined as a product of force over a distance. If the distance in altitude is constant = 500km, there's 0 change in distance and force, no work would be done by the gravitational force.

Since potential energy of the satellite is unchanged, unless there's additional internal energy source, the kinetic energy would remain unchanged, so would its speed.
