A micro-transporter moves from one side of an evacuated chamber to another. It is powered by equal-magnitude, opposite-sign charges Q and -Q on top of two station points, as shown in (Figure 1). The transporter's mass is 1.0 g and it is carrying a positive charge of 9.0 x 10-10 C. The figure shows a micro-transporter located between two stations on a horizontal surface. Figure The left station has charge plus upper Q. The right station has charge minus upper Q. The transporter carries positive charge q. The transporter is 6.0 millimeters from the left station and 36.0 millimeters from the right station. +Q Station ( + Station 6.0 mm 36.0 mm

A sled and rider have a total mass of 61.0 kg. They are on a snowy hill. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is 0.155. The angle of the hill's slope measured upward from the horizontal is 21.0°. What is the acceleration of the rider? |m/s² Is the acceleration greater, less than, or equal to your result if a more massive rider uses the same sled on the same hill? Explain. O Greater than: the acceleration scales according to the mass of the rider. O Greater than: the acceleration scales according to the ratio of the masses of the rider and sled. O Less than: the acceleration scales according to the ratio of the masses of the rider and sled. O Equal to: the acceleration is independent of mass. O Equal to: the acceleration scales according to the mass of the sled.
