Answer:
The surface gravity g of the planet is 1/4 of the surface gravity on earth.
Explanation:
Surface gravity is given by the following formula:
So the gravity of both the earth and the planet is written in terms of their own radius, so we get:
The problem tells us the radius of the planet is twice that of the radius on earth, so:
If we substituted that into the gravity of the planet equation we would end up with the following formula:
Which yields:
So we can now compare the two gravities:
When simplifying the ratio we end up with:
So the gravity acceleration on the surface of the planet is 1/4 of that on the surface of Earth.
Answer:
E = 1.04*10⁻¹ N/C
Explanation:
Assuming no other forces acting on the proton than the electric field, as this is uniform, we can calculate the acceleration of the proton, with the following kinematic equation:
As the proton is coming at rest after travelling 0.200 m to the right, vf = 0, and x = 0.200 m.
Replacing this values in the equation above, we can solve for a, as follows:
According to Newton´s 2nd Law, and applying the definition of an electric field, we can say the following:
F = mp*a = q*E
For a proton, we have the following values:
mp = 1.67*10⁻²⁷ kg
q = e = 1.6*10⁻¹⁹ C
So, we can solve for E (in magnitude) , as follows:
⇒ E = 1.04*10⁻¹ N/C
