Suppose you had two small boxes, each containing 1.0 g of protons. (a) If one were placed
Question:
Suppose you had two small boxes, each containing 1.0 g of protons.
(a) If one were placed on the moon by an astronaut and the other were left on the earth, and if they were connected by a very light (and very long!) string, what would be the tension in the string? Express your answer in newtons and in pounds. Do you need to take into account the gravitational forces of the earth and moon on the protons? Why?
(b) What gravitational force would each box of protons exert on the other box?
Step by Step Answer:
Identify We need to determine the number of protons in each box and then use Coulombs law to calcula...View the full answer

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
