What would be the weight of a 59.1-kg astronaut on a planet with the same density as Earth and having twice Earth's radius?

You could always directly use F = G M m / r², but that takes forever.

It is best to know that, on Earth's surface, the astronaut would weigh 
F = m g = 579.2 N 
where m = 59.1 kg and g = 9.8 m/s². 

You then notice from F = G M m / r² that doubling the mass of the earth would double his weight and doubling the radius would give 1/4 his original weight. So... 
F = 1/4 * 2 * 579.2 N = 290 N

A proton is released in a uniform electric field, and it experiences an electric force of 2.04×10−14 N toward the south.

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Part A:

$E=127500N/C\\E=1.275*10^{5} N/C$

Part B:

Option B (Towards the South)

Explanation:

Part A:

Magnitude if electric field E:

E=Force/charge

Force=2.04×10−14 N

Charge=1.6×10−19 C

$E=\frac{2.04*10^{-14}}{1.6*10^{-19}} \\E=127500N/C\\E=1.275*10^{5} N/C$

Part B:

Option B (Towards the South)

As electron is experiencing the force towards south,it means the direction of the electric field is towards the south because direction of field lines is from positive to negative, so proton is moving towards south it means negative charge is in south to which proton is attracted. So electric field is towards South.
