A charge Q is uniformly spread over one surface of a very large nonconducting square elastic sheet having sides of length d. At
1 answer:
The electric field of a very large (essentially infinitely large) plane of charge is given by:
E = σ/(2ε₀)
E is the electric field, σ is the surface charge density, and ε₀ is the electric constant.
To determine σ:
σ = Q/A
Where Q is the total charge of the sheet and A is the sheet's area. The sheet is a square with a side length d, so A = d²:
σ = Q/d²
Make this substitution in the equation for E:
E = Q/(2ε₀d²)
We see that E is inversely proportional to the square of d:
E ∝ 1/d²
The electric field at P has some magnitude E. Now we double the side length of the sheet while keeping the same amount of charge Q distributed over the sheet. By the relationship of E with d, the electric field at P must now have a quarter of its original magnitude:

Answer:
b. Jupiter’s greater gravity has compressed the layers, so they are closer together there.
Explanation:
The value for Jupiter mass is 1.8981×10²⁷kg, while the mass of Saturn is 5.6832×10²⁶kg, so the different layers of clouds in Jupiter will be submitted to a greater gravitational pull because it has a bigger mass, as is established in the law of universal gravitation:
(1)
Where m1 and m2 are the masses of two objects, G is the gravitational constant and r is the distance between the two objects.
As it can be seen in equation 1, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects, so if the mass increase the gravitational force will do it too.
For the case of Saturn, it has a lower mass so its layers of clouds will suffer a weaker gravitational pull. That leads to the three clouds being more spacing that the ones of Jupiter.
The force on each balloon is 2×10^−3 N.
Consider two balloons of diameter 0.200m each with a mass of 1.00g hanging apart with 0.0500m separation on the ends of string making angles of 10.0° with the vertical.
So,
A force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity (e.g. moving from a state of rest), i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. It is measured in the SI unit of newton (N).
