Given:
The magnitude of each charge is q1 = q2 = 1 C
The distance between them is r = 1 m
To find the force when distance is doubled.
Explanation:
The new distance is
The force can be calculated by the formula
Here, k is the constant whose value is
On substituting the values, the force will be
Explanation:
A meteoroid is in a circular orbit 600 km above the surface of a distant planet.
Mass of the planet = mass of earth = 5.972 x Kg
Radius of the earth = 90% of earth radius = 90% 6370 = 5733 km
The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = ?
By formula, g =
where g is the acceleration due to the gravity
G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.67 x
M is the mass of the planet
r is the radius of the planet
Substituting the values, we get
g =
g = 12.12 m/
The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = 12.12 m/
