Answer:

2.5 m/s²

Explanation:

You can solve the following equation: F=ma for acceleration.

You'll be left with this:

a=F/m

And then you substitute the force and the doubled mass

a=500N/200kg

a=2.5 m/s²

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

a = 640 m/s²

Explanation:

From work-kinetic energy principles,

The net force acting on the second object is the gravitational force and the electric force due to the first object.

So, the gravitational force on the mass is F₁ = Gm₁m₂/r² since m₁ = m₂ = m, U = -Gm²/r²

Also, the electric force on the charge is F₂ = kq₁q₂/r² since q₁ = q₂ = q, U = kq²/r²

The net Force F = ma

So, -F₁ + F₂ = F     (F₁ is negative since it is an attractive force in the negative x -direction and F₂ is positive since it is a repulsive force in the positive x- direction)

-Gm²/r² + kq²/r² = ma

ma = -Gm²/r² + kq²/r²

a = (-Gm²/r² + kq²/r²)/m

a = (-G + kq²/m²)m/r²

Since m = 0.250 kg, q = 4.00 μC = 4.00 × 10⁻⁶ C, r = 3.00 cm = 3.00 × 10⁻² m, G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg², k = 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C² and a = acceleration of second mass.

Substituting the variables into the equation, we have

a = (m/r²)(-G + k(q/m)²)]

a = (0.250 kg/{3.00 × 10⁻² m}²)(-6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg² + 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²(4.00 × 10⁻⁶ C/0.250 kg)²)

a = (0.250 kg/9.00 × 10⁻⁴ m)(-6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg² + 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²(16 × 10⁻⁶ C/kg)²)]

a = (0.250 kg/9.00 × 10⁻⁴ m)(-6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg² + 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²(256 × 10⁻¹² C²/kg²)]

a = (0.250 kg/9.00 × 10⁻⁴ m)(-6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg² + 2304 × 10⁻³ Nm²/kg²  ]

a = (0.250 kg/9.00 × 10⁻⁴ m)(2.304 Nm²/kg²)

a = 0.576 Nm²/kg /9.00 × 10⁻⁴ m²

a = 0.064 × 10⁴N/kg

a = 64 × 10 N/kg)

a = 640 m/s²
