Answer:

F = K Q1 Q2 / R^2         force between 2 charges separated by R

F2 / F1 = (R1 / R2^2)    dividing equations

F2 / F1 = (R1 / 3 R1)^2 = 1/3^2 = 1/9

The force would be reduced by a factor of 9

3.8 / 9 N = .42 N

A mass of 5kg starts from rest and pulls down vertically on a string wound around a disk-shaped, massive pulley. The mass of the
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

c. V = 2 m/s

Explanation:

Using the conservation of energy:

E_i =E_f

so:

Mgh = \frac{1}{2}IW^2 +\frac{1}{2}MV^2

where M is the mass, g the gravity, h the altitude, I the moment of inertia of the pulley, W the angular velocity of the pulley and V the velocity of the mass.

Also we know that:

V = WR

Where R is the radius of the disk, so:

W = V/R

Also, the moment of inertia of the disk is equal to:

I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2

I = \frac{1}{2}(5kg)(2m)^2

I = 10 kg*m^2

so, we can write the initial equation as:

Mgh = \frac{1}{2}IV^2/R^2 +\frac{1}{2}MV^2

Replacing the data:

(5kg)(9.8)(0.3m) = \frac{1}{2}(10)V^2/(2)^2 +\frac{1}{2}(5kg)V^2

solving for V:

(5kg)(9.8)(0.3m) = V^2(\frac{1}{2}(10)1/4 +\frac{1}{2}(5kg))

V = 2 m/s

On the earth, when an astronaut throws a 0.250-kg stone vertically upward, it returns to his hand a time T later. On planet X he
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

d) g/2

Explanation:

We need to use one of Newton's equations of motion to find the position of the stone at any time t.

x(t) = x₀(t) + ut - ¹/₂at²

Where

x₀(t) = initial position of the stone.

x(t) - x₀(t) = distance traveled by the stone at any time.

u = initial velocity of the stone

a = acceleration of the stone

t = time taken

On both planets, before the stone was thrown by the astronaut, x = 0 and t = 0.

=> 0 = x₀(t)

=> x₀(t) = 0

On earth, when the stone returns into the hand of the astronaut at time T on earth, x = 0.

=> 0 = 0 + uT - ¹/₂gT² (a = g)

=> uT = ¹/₂gT²

=> g = 2u/T

On planet X, when the stone returns into the hand of the astronaut, time = 2T , x = 0.

=> 0 = 0 + u(2T) - ¹/₂a(2T)²

=> 2uT = 2aT²

=> a = u/T

By comparing we see that a = g/2.
