Answer:
The new force becomes 4 times the initial force.
Explanation:
The force of attraction or repulsion is given by the relation as follows :
Where
d is the distance between the interacting charges
F is inversely proportional to the distance between charges.
If the distance is halved, d'=(d/2), new force is given by :
So, the new force becomes 4 times the initial force.
Answer:
a)-1.014x J
b)3.296 x J
Explanation:
For Sphere A:
mass 'Ma'= 47kg
xa= 0
For sphere B:
mass 'Mb'= 110kg
xb=3.4m
a)the gravitational potential energy is given by
= -GMaMb/ d
= - 6.67 x
x 47 x 110/ 3.4 => -1.014x
J
b) at d= 0.8m (3.4-2.6) and =-1.014x
J
The sum of potential and kinetic energies must be conserved as the energy is conserved.
+
=
+
As sphere starts from rest and sphere A is fixed at its place, therefore is zero
=
+
The final potential energy is
= - GMaMb/d
Solving for ' '
=
+ GMaMb/d => -1.014x
+ 6.67 x
x 47 x 110/ 0.8
= 3.296 x
J
