Answer:

The distance of the object to the center of the earth increases.

Explanation:

The formula for the acceleration due to gravity is given by :

g=\dfrac{GM}{r^2}...........(1)

Where

G is the value of universal gravitational constant

M is the mass of earth

r is the distance between object and the center of Earth

It is clear from equation (1) that the acceleration due to gravity depends only on the mass of earth and the distance between the object and the center of Earth.

The acceleration due to gravity on earth will decrease, as the distance of the object to the center of the earth increases. Hence, the correct option is (b).

As the distance is tripled, the gravitational acceleration decreases by a factor of 9, and so on. At the surface of the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is roughly 9.8 m/s2.

When the distance between two interacting objects doubles, the gravitational force is
Umnica [9.8K]

The gravitational force will be one quarter.

The gravitational force between two objects is given by the formula

F=GMm/r^2

here, r is the distance between the objects.

Thus the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects, Therefore if the distance between two objects is doubled the force will be one quarter.

Two electrodes connected to a 9.0 v battery are charged to ±45 nc. What is the capacitance of the electrode?
mart [117]

Answer:

5\cdot 10^{-9} F

Explanation:

The capacitance of the electrode is given by:

C=\frac{Q}{V}

where

C is the capacitance

Q is the charge on the electrode

V is the potential difference

In this problem, we have

Q=45 nC=45\cdot 10^{-9} C

V = 9.0 V

Substituting into the equation, we find

C=\frac{45\cdot 10^{-9}C}{9.0 V}=5\cdot 10^{-9} F (5 nF)

Four fixed point charges are at the corners of a square with sides of length L. Q1 is positive and at (OL) Q2 is positive and at
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

A) See Annex

B) Fq₁₂ = K *  Q₁*Q₂ /16 [N] (repulsion force)

C)  Fq₃₂  = K * Q₃*Q₂ /16 [N] (repulsion force)

D) Fq₄₂ = K * Q₄*Q₂ /32 [N] (attraction force)

E) Net force (its components)

Fnx = (2,59/64 )* K*Q²  [N] in direction of original Fq₃₂

Fny =(2,59/64 )* K*Q² [N] in direction of original Fq₁₂

Explanation:

For calculation of d (diagonal of the square, we apply Pythagoras Theorem)

d² = L² + L²    ⇒  d² = 2*L²     ⇒ d = √2*L²   ⇒ d= (√2 )*L

d = 4√2 units of length   (we will assume meters, to work with MKS system of units)

B) Force of Q₁ exerts on charge Q₂

Fq₁₂  = K * Q₁*Q₂ /(L)²     Fq₁₂ = K *  Q₁*Q₂ /16 (repulsion force in the direction indicated in annex)

C) Force of Q₃ exerts on charge Q₂

Fq₃₂  = K * Q₃*Q₂ /(L)²     Fq₃₂  = K * Q₃*Q₂ /16  (repulsion force in the direction indicated in annex)

D) Force of -Q₄ exerts on charge Q₂

Fq₄₂ = K * Q₄*Q₂ / (d)²      Fq₄₂ = K * Q₄*Q₂ /32 (Attraction force in the direction indicated in annex)

E) Net force in the case all charges have the same magnitude Q (keeping the negative sign in Q₄)

Let´s take the force that  Q₄ exerts on Q₂  and Q₂ = Q  ( magnitude) and

Q₄ = -Q

Then the force is:

F₄₂ = K * Q*Q / 32       F₄₂  = K* Q²/32  [N]

We should get its components

F₄₂(x) = [K*Q²/32 ]* √2/2   and so is F₄₂(y)  =  [K*Q²/32 ]* √2/2

Note that this components have opposite direction than forces  Fq₁₂  and

Fq₃₂  respectively, and that Fq₁₂ and Fq₃₂ are bigger than F₄₂(x) and  F₄₂(y) respectively

In new conditions

Fq₁₂ = K *  Q₁*Q₂ /16    becomes  Fq₁₂ = K * Q²/ 16 [N]   and

Fq₃₂ = K* Q₃*Q₂ /16      becomes   Fq₃₂ = K* Q² /16  [N]

Note that Fq₁₂ and Fq₃₂ are bigger than F₄₂(x) and  F₄₂(y) respectively

Then over x-axis we subtract Fq₃₂ - F₄₂(x)  = Fnx

and over y-axis, we subtract   Fq₁₂ - F₄₂(y) = Fny

And we get:

Fnx = K* Q² /16 - [K*Q²/32 ]* √2/2  ⇒  Fnx =  K*Q² [1/16 - √2/64]

Fnx = (2,59/64 )* K*Q²

Fny has the same magnitude  then

Fny =(2,59/64 )* K*Q²

The fact that Fq₁₂ and Fq₃₂ are bigger than F₄₂(x) and  F₄₂(y) respectively, means that Fnx and Fny remains as repulsion forces

Two 2 kg masses is placed at either end of a rod that has a mass of .5 kg and a length of 3 m. What is the moment of inertia if
sergij07 [2.7K]

Explanation:

a) I=\displaystyle \sum_{i}m_ir_i^2

where r_i is the distance of the mass m_i from the axis of rotation. When the axis of rotation is placed at the end of the rod, the moment of inertia is due only to one mass. Therefore,

I= mr^2 = (2\:kg)(3\:m)^2 = 18\:kg-m^2

b) When the axis of rotation is placed on the center of the rod, the moment is due to both masses and the radius r is 1.5 m. Therefore,

\displaystyle I= \sum_{i}m_ir_i^2 = 2(2\:kg)(1.5\:m)^2 = 9\:kg-m^2

the shock absorbers in a car act as a big spring with k= 21900 N/m. when a 92.5 kg person gets in, how far does the spring stret
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: 0.04139m

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the weight of the man which will be:

Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

Weight = mg

Weight = 92.5 × 9.8

Weight = 906.5N

Then, we calculate the force which will be:

F = kx

mg = kx

x = mg/k

x = 906.5/21900

x = 0.04139m.

The spring stretched for 0.04139m.
