Answer:

B it decreases

Explanation:

the movement of a positive test charge in the direction of an electric field would be like a mass falling downward within Earth's gravitational field. Both movements would be like going with nature and would occur without the need of work by an external force. This motion would result in the loss of potential energy

Sam is recklessly driving 60 mph in a 30 mph speed zone when he suddenly sees the police. he steps on the brakes and slows to 30
barxatty [35]
For this problem, we use the derived equations for rectilinear motion at constant acceleration. The equations used for this problem are:

a = (v - v₀)/t
2ax = v² - v₀²
where
a is the acceleration
x is the distance
v is the final velocity
v₀ is the initial velocity
t is the time

The solution is as follows;

a = (60mph - 30 mph)/(3 s * 1 h/3600 s)
a = 36,000 mph²

2(36,000 mph²)(x) = 60² - 30²
Solving for x,
x = 0.0375 miles

Determine the acceleration due to gravity for low Earth orbit (LEO) given: MEarth = 6.00 x 1024 kg, rEarth = 6.40 x 106 m, G = 6
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The answer to the question is as follows

The  acceleration due to gravity for low for orbit is  9.231 m/s²

Explanation:

The gravitational force is given as

F_{G}= \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2}}{r^{2} }

Where F_{G} = Gravitational force

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67×10⁻¹¹\frac{Nm^{2} }{kg^{2} }

m₁ = mEarth = mass of Earth = 6×10²⁴ kg

m₂ = The other mass which is acted upon by  F_{G} and = 1 kg

rEarth = The distance between the two masses = 6.40 x 10⁶ m

therefore at a height of 400 km above the erth we have

r = 400 + rEarth = 400 + 6.40 x 10⁶ m = 6.80 x 10⁶ m

and  F_{G} = \frac{6.67*10^{-11} *6.40*10^{24} *1}{(6.8*10^{6})^{2} } = 9.231 N

Therefore the acceleration due to gravity =  F_{G} /mass  

9.231/1 or 9.231 m/s²

Therefore the acceleration due to gravity at 400 kn above the Earth's surface is  9.231 m/s²
