Consider a nonrotating planet with mass m and radius r. if an object is held some arbitrary distance h above the surface of the planet and dropped from rest, with what speed does it strike the surface? the gravitational acceleration at the surface of planet is gp = g m r2 . correct

Electric field of the earth. the earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 n> c and directed in toward the center of the earth. (a) what magnitude and sign of charge would a 60-kg human have to acquire to overcome his or her weight by the force exerted by the earth’s electric field? (b) what would be the force of repulsion between two people each with the charge calculated in part (a) and separated by a distance of 100 m? is use of the earth’s electric field a feasible means of flight? why or why not?

In the future, people will only enjoy one sport: electrodisc. in this sport, you gain points when you cause metallic discs hovering on a field to exchange charge. you are an electrodisc player playing the popular four disc variant. the disks have charges of qa = −8.0 µc, qb = −2.0 µc, qc = +5.0 µc, and qd = +12.0 µc. (1) you bring two disks together and then separate them. you measure the resulting charge of these two disks and find that it is +5.0 µc per disk. which two disks did you bring together? (a) a and b (b) a and c (c)a and d (d)b and c(e) b and d (f) c and d. (2) you bring three disks together and then separate them. you measure the resulting charge of these three disks and find that it is +3.0 µc per disk. which three disks did you bring together? a, b, and c (a) a, b, and d (c) a, c, and d (d) b, c, and d. (3) given the resulting charge of each disk measured in (b) is +3.0 µc, how many electrons would you need to add to a disk of this charge to electrically neutralize it? electrons

Contrast the force of gravity between these pairs of objects: 1-kg mass and a 2-kg mass that are 1 m apart; a 1-kg mass and a 2-kg mass that are 2 m apart; and two 2=kg masses that are 1 m apart. i dont understand.
