Charge X has twice as much charge as particle Y. The two charges are placed near each other. Compared to the force on particle X
1 answer:
The force on charge Y is the same as the force on charge X
Explanation:
We can answer this problem by applying Newton's third law of motion, which states that:
"When an object A exerts a force on object B (action force), then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A (reaction force)"
In this problem, we can identify object A as charge X and object B as charge Y. The magnitude of the electrostatic force between them is given by
(1)
where:
is the Coulomb's constant
are the two charges
r is the separation between the two charges
According to Newton's third law, therefore, the magnitude of the force exerted by charge X on charge Y is the same as the force exerted by charge Y on charge X (and it is given by eq.(1)), however their directions are opposite.

<h2>Hello!</h2>
The answer is: 19.59 m
<h2>Why?</h2>Since there is no information about the launch type, we can assume that the ball is thrown vertically upward.
When the ball reaches the maximum height, just at that moment, the velocity turns to 0, and after that moment, the ball starts falling, so:
We will use the following formula:
Where:
Vf= Final velocity = 0
Vi= Initial velocity =
g = Gravity Acceleration =
s = Traveled distance
