Answer:
q=3.5*10^-4
Explanation:
<u>concept:</u>
The force acting on both charges is given by the coulomb law:
F=kq1q2/r^2
the centripetal force is given by:
Fc=mv^2/r
The kinetic energy is given by:
KE=1/2mv^2
<u>The tension force:</u>
<u><em>when the plane is uncharged </em></u>
T=mv^2/r
T=2(K.E)/r
T=2(50 J)/r
T=100/r
<u><em>when the plane is charged </em></u>
T+k*|q|^2/r^2=2(K.E)charged/r
100/r+k*|q|^2/r^2=2(53.5 J)/r
q=√(2r[53.5 J-50 J]/k) √= square root on whole
q=√2(2)(53.5 J-50 J)/8.99*10^9
q=3.5*10^-4
Answer:
Part a)

Part b)

Part c)
distance L is independent of the mass of the sphere
Explanation:
Part a)
As we know that rotational kinetic energy of the sphere is given as

so we will have

so we will have




Part b)
By mechanical energy conservation law we know that
Work done against gravity = initial kinetic energy of the sphere
So we will have



Part c)
by equation of energy conservation we know that

so here we can see that distance L is independent of the mass of the sphere
