Please give details as much as possible. Thank you.
In the following problems, you don't need to understand the physics to complete the questions.
Focus on the equations.
(a) The force of gravity, F, between two masses, m and M, separated by a distance r, is given by
where G is a constant. Write an equation of r in terms of other variables in the equation
GmM
F=
2
for F:
r=
(b) The electric force between two charges q=3·10¯6 units and Q=-4·10¯6 units separated by a
distance,
1
d = 3-10-4 units, is given by F=
where k=9. 10⁹ units.
Without using a calculator, calculate the F.
F=
kq
x²
(c) Two positive electric charges, q and Q are separated by a distance d. Assume that q> Q> 0. The
position x from charge q where the electric field zero is given by:
=
kQ
(d-x)²
kqQ
d²
Solve for x in terms of the other variables. The quantity k is a constant. Solution 1 represents the
largest value of x.
Hint: The solution can be simplified in many ways. The solutions accepted below have a form
