Answer:
The current halves
Explanation:
The relationship between voltage, current and resistance in a circuit is given by Ohm's law:
where
V is the voltage
R is the resistance
I is the current
We can rewrite the formula as
we see that I is directly proportional to V and inversely proportional to R. In this problem, V is held constant while R is doubled:
so, the new current in the circuit will be
So, the current halves.
For this problem, we use the Coulomb's Law. The working equation is written below:
F = kQ₁Q₂/d²
where
F is the electric force
k is a constant equal to 8.99 × 10⁹ N • m²/C²
Q is the charges for the two objects
d is he distance between the objects
Substituting the values,
F = (8.99 × 10⁹ N • m²/C²)(-15×10⁻⁶ C)(-11×10⁻⁶ C)/(180²)
F = 4.578×10⁻⁵ N
Next, we determine the gravitational force using the Law of Universal Gravitation:
F = Gm₁m₂/d²
where
F is the gravitational force
G is a constant equal to 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N • m²/kg²
m is the masses of the objects
d is the distance between the objects
F = (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N • m²/kg²)(58,000 kg)(52,000 kg)/(180²)
F = 6.2089×10⁻⁶ N
The sum of the two forces equal the net force:
Net force = 4.578×10⁻⁵ N + 6.2089×10⁻⁶ N = 1.079×10⁻⁵ N
For the "what is this investigation about", you could pick
the shape of the Earth, the size of the Earth, how the Sun
generates its energy, the distance to the Moon, why the
sky is blue ... things like that. There are millions uvum.
