Paul’s 10 kg baby sister Susan sits on a mat. Paul pulls the mat across the floor using a rope that is angled 30° above the floo
r. The tension is a constant 30 N and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.20. Use work and energy to find Susan’s speed after being pulled 3.0 m.

Answer:
Explanation:
Assuming the pith balls as point charges, we can calculate the repulsive force between them, using Coulomb's law:
We observe that the magnitude of the electric force is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of both signed charges() and inversely proportional to the square of the distance(d) that separates them.
Replacing the given values, where k is the Coulomb constant:
Answer:
The surface gravity g of the planet is 1/4 of the surface gravity on earth.
Explanation:
Surface gravity is given by the following formula:
So the gravity of both the earth and the planet is written in terms of their own radius, so we get:
The problem tells us the radius of the planet is twice that of the radius on earth, so:
If we substituted that into the gravity of the planet equation we would end up with the following formula:
Which yields:
So we can now compare the two gravities:
When simplifying the ratio we end up with:
So the gravity acceleration on the surface of the planet is 1/4 of that on the surface of Earth.
