Explanation:
(a) E = F/q
E = 4.8×10^-17/1.6×10^-19
E = 300 N/C
(b) same magnitude of electric field is exerted on proton
Answer:
Explanation:
Potential energy on the surface of the earth
= - GMm/ R
Potential at height h
= - GMm/ (R+h)
Potential difference
= GMm/ R - GMm/ (R+h)
= GMm ( 1/R - 1/ R+h )
= GMmh / R (R +h)
This will be the energy needed to launch an object from the surface of Earth to a height h above the surface.
Extra energy is needed to get the same object into orbit at height h
= Kinetic energy of the orbiting object at height h
= 1/2 x potential energy at height h
= 1/2 x GMm / ( R + h)
