Answer:
a) E = -4 10² N / C , b) x = 0.093 m, c) a = 10.31 m / s², θ=-71.9⁰
Explanation:
For that exercise we use Newton's second Law, in the attached we can see a free body diagram of the ball
X axis
-
= m a
Axis y
- W = 0
Initially the system is in equilibrium, so zero acceleration
Fe =
T_{y} = W
Let us search with trigonometry the components of the tendency
cos θ = T_{y} / T
sin θ = / T
T_{y} = cos θ
= T sin θ
We replace
q E = T sin θ
mg = T cosθ
a) the electric force is
= q E
E = / q
E = -0.032 / 80 10⁻⁶
E = -4 10² N / C
b) the distance to this point can be found by dividing the two equations
q E / mg = tan θ
θ = tan⁻¹ qE / mg
Let's calculate
θ = tan⁻¹ (80 10⁻⁶ 4 10² / 0.01 9.8)
θ = tan⁻¹ 0.3265
θ = 18 ⁰
sin 18 = x/0.30
x =0.30 sin 18
x = 0.093 m
c) The rope is cut, two forces remain acting on the ball, on the x-axis the electric force and on the axis and the force gravitations
X axis
= m aₓ
aₓ = q E / m
aₓ = 80 10⁻⁶ 4 10² / 0.01
aₓ = 3.2 m / s²
Axis y
W = m
a_{y} = g
a_{y} = 9.8 m/s²
The total acceleration is can be found using Pythagoras' theorem
a = √ aₓ² + a_{y}²
a = √ 3.2² + 9.8²
a = 10.31 m / s²
The Angle meet him with trigonometry
tan θ = a_{y} / aₓ
θ = tan⁻¹ a_{y} / aₓ
θ = tan⁻¹ (-9.8) / 3.2
θ = -71.9⁰
Movement is two-dimensional type with acceleration in both axes
