A mad scientist wants to collect massive amounts of charge on basketball sized aluminum balls. The scientist wants to place 6 C

on one ball and 14 C on another. However, the maximum force between the balls must be limited to 8000 N. At what distance must the balls be placed apart?

The distance between two basket ball sized aluminium balls is 9714 m.

Explanation:

Coulomb's law, or Coulomb's inverse-square law, is an experimental law of physics that quantifies the amount of force between two stationary, electrically charged particles. The electric force between charged bodies at rest is conventionally called electrostatic force or Coulomb force .

Coulomb's law formula => F = (k * Qb1 * Qb2)/r²

Given data :-

charge on ball 1 Qb1 = 6C

charge on ball 2 Qb2 = 14C

Force exerted F = 8000 N

k =  8.988 x 10^9 Nm²C−²(coulomb's constant).

substituting given values in the coulomb's formula

8000 = (( 8.988 x 10^9)*6*14)/r²

shifting r and 8000 to other sides

r² = (756 * 10^9)/8000

r = 9714 m.

Therefore the distance between two balls is r = 9714 m.

What new tool did geologists use to estimate the changing flow rates of lava over the duration of this eruption? Hint: The answe
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Option b, pothographs from drones.

Explanation:

the USGS (U.S. Geological Survey) decided to make photographic captures from drones to the volcanic surfaces, which allowed through observations to understand things like the characteristics of the lava, the height of the volcanic plumes (among others).

A satellite is in a circular orbit 8200 km above the Earth’s surface; i.e., it moves on a circular path under the influence of n
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

5.23km/s

Explanation:

Given

Radius of Earth = 6.37 * 10^6 m

Altitude of Satellite = 8200km = 8200 * 10³m = 8.2 * 10^6 m

Gravity Acceleration on Satellite Altitude = 1.87965m/s²

For a satellite to remain in circular orbit, then it means the acceleration of gravity must be exact as the centripetal acceleration.

Centripetal Acceleration = V²/R

So, Acceleration of Gravity (A)= Centripetal Acceleration = V²/R

Make V the subject of formula

A = V²/R

V² = AR

V = √AR

Where R = (radius of earth) + (altitude of satellite)

R = 6.37 * 10^6 + 8.2 * 10^6

R = 14.57 * 10^6m

A = 1.87965m/s²

V = √(1.87965 * 14.57x10^6)

V = √27386500.5

V = 5233.211299001789

V = 5233.2113 m/s ------- Approximated

V = 5.23km/s

maxonik [38]

Answer:

∆U = 2.296×10^10Joules

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is defined as the energy possessed by an object under the influence of gravity due to its virtue of position.

Potential energy U = Fr where;

F is the force of attraction between the masses of the moon and the rocket.

r is the radius or height of the object.

From Newton's law of universal gravitation, F = GMm/r²

Potential energy U = (-GMm/r²)×r

Potential energy U = -GMm/r

The force is negative because the objects act upward.

M is the mass of the rocket

m is the mass of the moon

Gravitational potential energy possessed by the rocket

U1 = -GMm/r1

r1 is the altitude covered by the rocket

Gravitational potential energy possessed by the Moon

U2 = -GMm/(r2+r1)

r2 is the radius of the moon

Change in gravitational potential energy ∆U = U2-U1

∆U = -GMm/(r2+r1)-(-GMm/r1)

∆U = -GMm/(r2+r1) + GMm/r1

∆U = -GMm{1/(r2+r1)-1/r1}

Given

G = 6.67×10^-11m³/kgs²

M = 1130kg

m = 7.36×10²²kg

r1 = 215km = 215,000m

r2 = 1740km = 1,740,000m

∆U = -6.67×10^-11× 7.36×10²² × 1130{1/(215,000+1,740,000)-1/215000}

∆U= -55.47×10¹⁴{1/1955000-1/215000}

∆U = -55.47×10¹⁴{5.12×10^-7 - 4.65×10^-6}

∆U = -284×10^7 + 257.94×10^8

∆U = 22,954,000,000Joules

∆U = 2.296×10^10Joules

Inertia increases as an object's _________ increases.
sammy [17]

Answer:

A. Mass

Explanation:

Inertia of an object is the resistance of the object to any change in its state of motion: it means that if an object is at rest, it tends to stay at rest for inertia (unless a net force acts on it), and if it is moving, it tends to continue moving with the same velocity, for inertia.

The inertia also describes how difficult it is to stop/accelerate an object, and it is directly proportional to the mass of the object: in fact, the larger the mass of an object, the more difficult it is to change its state of motion, and this means it has greater inertia.
