Following a collision between a large spacecraft and an asteroid, a copper disk of radius 28.0 m and thickness 1.20 m, at a temp
erature of 850°C, is floating in space, rotating about its axis with an angular speed of 20.0 rad/s. As the disk radiates infrared light, its temperature falls to 20.0°C. No external torque acts on the disk.
A) Find the change in kinetic energy of the disk.
B) Find the change in internal energy of the disk.
C) Find the amount of energy it radiates.
A) Find the change in kinetic energy of the disk.

Answer: 539.4 N
Explanation:
Let's begin by explaining that Coulomb's Law establishes the following:
"The electrostatic force between two point charges
and
is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance
that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them"
What is written above is expressed mathematically as follows:
(1)
Where:
is the electrostatic force
is the Coulomb's constant
and
are the electric charges
is the separation distance between the charges
Then:
(2)
Isolating and
:
(3)
Now, if we keep the same charges but we decrease the distance to , (1) is rewritten as:
(4)
Then, the new electrostatic force will be:
(5) As we can see, the electrostatic force is increased when we decrease the distance between the charges.
