Explanation:

Fgravity = G*(mass1*mass2)/D²

G is the gravitational constant throughout the universe.

D is the distance between the 2 objects.

the distance is now quadrupled.

Fgravitynew = G*(mass1*mass2)/(4D)² =

= G*(mass1*mass2)/(16D²) =

= (G*(mass1*mass2)/D²) / 16 = Fgravity/16

the new gravitational force will be 179/16 = 11.1875 units

liberstina [14]

Answer:

 ∑ τ =0,  L₀ = L_{f}

Explanation:

In a circular turning movement, when the arms are extended and then contracted in two possibilities:

- They are lowered the force of gravity is what pulls them, the tension of the muscle becomes zero to allow this movement.

    In this movement the force is vertical(gravity) and the movement of the center of mass of each arm is vertical, so that the work is the weight value of the arm by the distance traveled by the center of mass.

- Another possibility is that the arms have stuck to the body, in this case the person's muscles perform the force, this force is horizontal and the displacement is the horizontal of the center of mass of the arms from the extended position to the contracted

 

In these movements the torque of the external force is equal for each arm, but in the opposite direction, so they are canceled where a net torque of zero, this causes the angular momentum to be preserved, which changes is the moment of inertia of the system and therefore you must also change the angular velocity to keep your product constant

          ∑ τ =0

                L₀ = L_{f}

              I₀ w₀ = I w

A disk with radius R and uniform positive charge density s lies horizontally on a tabletop. A small plastic sphere with mass M a
Yanka [14]

Answer:

a. F = Qs/2ε₀[1 - z/√(z² + R²)] b.  h =  (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)R/√[1 - (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²]

Explanation:

a. What is the magnitude of the net upward force on the sphere as a function of the height z above the disk?

The electric field due to a charged disk with surface charge density s and radius R at a distance z above the center of the disk is given by

E = s/2ε₀[1 - z/√(z² + R²)]

So, the net force on the small plastic sphere of mass M and charge Q is

F = QE

F = Qs/2ε₀[1 - z/√(z² + R²)]

b. At what height h does the sphere hover?

The sphere hovers at height z = h when the electric force equals the weight of the sphere.

So, F = mg

Qs/2ε₀[1 - z/√(z² + R²)] = mg

when z = h, we have

Qs/2ε₀[1 - h/√(h² + R²)] = mg

[1 - h/√(h² + R²)] = 2mgε₀/Qs

h/√(h² + R²) = 1 - 2mgε₀/Qs

squaring both sides, we have

[h/√(h² + R²)]² = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²

h²/(h² + R²) = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²

cross-multiplying, we have

h² = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²(h² + R²)

expanding the bracket, we have

h² = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²h² + (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²R²

collecting like terms, we have

h² - (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²h² = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²R²

Factorizing, we have

[1 - (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²]h² = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²R²

So, h² =  (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²R²/[1 - (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²]

taking square-root of both sides, we have

√h² =  √[(1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²R²/[1 - (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²]]

h =  (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)R/√[1 - (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²]
