(D) The gravitational force between the astronaut and the asteroid.
Reason :
All the other forces given in the options, except (D), doesn't account for the motion of the astronaut. They are the forces that act between nucleons or atoms and neither of them accounts for an objects motion.
Im pretty sure the jet airplane is faster
Answer: 2.80 N/C
Explanation: In order to calculate the electric firld inside the solid cylinder
non conductor we have to use the Gaussian law,
∫E.ds=Q inside/ε0
E*2πrL=ρ Volume of the Gaussian surface/ε0
E*2πrL= a*r^2 π* r^2* L/ε0
E=a*r^3/(2*ε0)
E=6.2 * (0.002)^3/ (2*8.85*10^-12)= 2.80 N/C
Answer:
Strong nuclear force is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force
Explanation:
There are mainly two forces acting between protons and neutrons in the nucleus:
- The electrostatic force, which is the force exerted between charged particles (therefore, it is exerted between protons only, since neutrons are not charged). The magnitude of the force is given by

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the charges of the two particles, r is the separation between the particles.
The force is attractive for two opposite charges and repulsive for two same charges: therefore, the electrostatic force between two protons is repulsive.
- The strong nuclear force, which is the force exerted between nucleons. At short distance (such as in the nucleus), it is attractive, therefore neutrons and protons attract each other and this contributes in keeping the whole nucleus together.
At the scale involved in the nucleus, the strong nuclear force (attractive) is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force (repulsive), therefore the nucleus stays together and does not break apart.
