Answer:

The gravity is roughly the same. The inverse square law applies to gravity and that means that being 60 miles above Earth is about the same as being on Earth. The thing is, they are going really fast in an orbit and thus falling around the Earth. The weightlessness comes from a sort of cancellation of gravity pulling them down and their going perpendicular to that force. The forces are cancelling and making them relatively “weightless”. It’s not really weightlessness but just an equilibrium reached between the two accelerations of gravity and their motion against the pull of the Earth.

Two identical small charged spheres are a certain distance apart, and each initially experiences an electrostatic force of magni

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

New force, $F'=\dfrac{1}{4}F$

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two spheres is given by :

$F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

According to given condition, each of the spheres has lost half its initial charge, new force is given by :

$F'=\dfrac{kq_1/2q_2/2}{r^2}$

$F'=\dfrac{1}{4}\times \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

$F'=\dfrac{1}{4}F$

So, the new force becomes (1/4)th of the initial force. Hence, the correct option is (d).

List 2 examples of objects demonstrating mechanical energy.

OlgaM077 [116]

Windmills run on the principle of mechanical energy and work. Moving air (wind) possesses some amount of energy in the form of kinetic energy (due to motion). This energy gives the air the ability to do work on the blades of the fan.
