What were the initial charges on the spheres? Since one is negative and you cannot tell which is positive or negative, there are two solutions. Take the absolute value of the charges and show the sm
A train pulls away from a station with a constant acceleration of 0.43 m/s^2. A passenger arrives at a point on the station platform 5.0 s after the end of the train passed the very same point. Wha
A particular fish tank filled with fresh water (n = 1.33) has a coral reef sticker stuck to an exterior wall (outside of the tank). The tank's walls are 2.5 cm thick, but a goldfish inside the tank
As a helicopter carrying a crate takes off, its vertical position (as well as the crate's) is given as: y(t) = At^3 where A is a constant and t is time with t = 0 corresponding to when it leaves the
The charges on the objects have equal magnitudes. Because of these charges, the spring stretches by 0.038 m relative to its unstrained length. Determine (a) the possible algebraic signs and (b) the
An object of mass m = 3.3 g and charge Q = +60 µC is attached to a string and placed in a uniform electric field that is inclined at an angle of 30.0° with the horizontal. The object is i
If you have available several 3.0-uF capacitors, each capable of withstanding 200V without breakdown, how would you assemble a combination having an equivalent capacitance of (a) 0.50 capable of wi
The speed of an alpha particle is determined to be 3.15×106 m/s. If all of its kinetic energy is acquired by passing through an electric potential, what is the magnitude of that potential?
A charge experiences a 0.50- Nforce in the positive direction A . If this charge is replaced with a charge, find the magnitude of the force in this case Express your answer using two significant fig
Calculate the magnitude of the drag force, and the component in the direction opposite his motion, if he is riding north at 32 km/h when there is a 32-km/h wind blowing from the east (perpendicular
At time t = 0, the block is at position x = 0, with initial positive velocity v0. Find the time at which the velocity goes momentarily to zero, and the distance x the block has travelled by this tim
Two identical metal spheres A and B are connected by a metal rod. Both are initially neutral. 1.6×10^12 electrons are added to sphere A, then the connecting rod is removed.
A ball is thrown from a rooftop with an initial downward velocity of magnitude vo = 4.4 m/s. The rooftop is a distance above the ground, h = 35 m. (a)If we wanted the ball's final speed to be exactl
On the moon the acceleration due to gravity is 1/6 of Earth's. A ball is thrown straight up on the moon and it takes t = 23 s to return to the surface. How much higher, in meters, did it go on the
An electron is traveling straight along the x-axis in the positive x-direction. as time passes the electron slows down due to the presence of a constant electric field. what direction is this elect
A child throws a penny off of the Eiffel tower (h = 324m) with a downward velocity of magnitude v0 = 13 m/s. Find the speed at which the penny strikes the ground, vf (in m/s), using the initial vel
A charge Q is fixed in place. A charge -q is released from rest a distance d from Q. determine the velocity of -q as a function of its distance x from Q. you will need to integrate Newton's 2nd Law
On the moon the acceleration due to gravity is 1/6 of Earth's. A ball is thrown straight up on the moon and it takes t = 23 s to return to the surface. Write an expression for the maximum height ach
A proton has an initial speed of 3.5 105 m/s. (a) What potential difference is required to bring the proton to rest? (b) What potential difference is required to reduce the initial speed of the prot

Suppose the charge q2 can be moved left or right along the line connecting the charges q1 and q3. Given that q = +17 µC, find the distance from q1 where q2 experiences a net electrostatic forc
Ce-144 is a fission product formed in fission. The cumulative fission yield is 5.5%. Since all the precursors of Ce-144 have very short half-lives, we can readily assume that all the fission directl
