The electrostatic force between two charges is given by
(1)
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1, q2 are the two charges
r is the separation between the charges
When the two spheres are brought in contact with each other, the charge equally redistribute among the two spheres, such that each sphere will have a charge of
where Q is the total charge between the two spheres.
So we can actually rewrite the force as
And since we know that
r = 1.41 m (distance between the spheres)
(the sign is positive since the charges repel each other)
We can solve the equation for Q:
So, the final charge on the sphere on the right is
2)
Now we know the total charge initially on the two spheres. Moreover, at the beginning we know that
(we put a negative sign since the force is attractive, which means that the charges have opposite signs)
r = 1.41 m is the separation between the charges
And also,
So we can rewrite eq.(1) as
Solving for q1,
Since , we can substituting all numbers into the equation:
which gives two solutions:
Which correspond to the values of the two charges. Therefore, the initial charge q1 on the first sphere is
Answer:
154° at 195 km/h
Explanation:
The helicopter is moving south at 175 km/h, relative to the wind.
But the wind is moving east at 85 km/h, relative to the ground.
This means that the helicopter is moving south east relative to the ground.
Every hour, the helicopter will move 175 km to the south and 85 km to the east, relative to the ground.
This means that we can determine the speed and direction of the helicopter using a right triangle and simple trigonometry.
Refer to the triangle b1.
The distance traveled by the helicopter in 1 hour is denoted by d.
d is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can calculate d to be 195 km (rounded to 3 s. f.)
Hence the helicopter is traveling at 195 km/h relative to the ground.
To calculate the direction we use,
tan (x) = opposite/adjacent = 85/175
So the angle x is,
= 25.9°
Relative to the North, the helicopter is moving at 180° - 25.9° = 154° (rounded to 3 s. f.)
