Answer:

  a = -7.29 m / s²

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use Newton's second law,

          F -W = m a

Force is electrical force

         F = k q₁ q₂ / r²

         k q₁ q₂ / r² -mg = m a

indicate that the charge of the two spheres is equal

         q₁ = q₂ = q

         a = (k q² / r² - m g) / m

         a = k q² / m r² - g

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

        m = 0.19 g (1kg / 1000 g) = 1.9 10⁻⁴ kg

        q1 = q2 = q = -23.0 nC (1C / 10⁹ nC) = -23.0 10⁻⁹ C

        r = 10.0 cm (1m / 100cm) = 0.1000 m

let's calculate

        a = 9 10⁹ (23.0 10⁻⁹)² / (0.1000² 1.9 10⁻⁴) - 9.8

        a = -7.29 m / s²

The negative sign indicates that the direction of this acceleration is downward

Art [367]
The answer is :  We’ll see the bell move, but we won’t hear it ring.  This is    because light can travel through vacuum but sound cannot.  Sound waves are vibrations of particles in any media, so sound requires a medium to travel, and it cannot travel in a vacuum as there is no particles to vibrate.

Why don't astronauts use a fountain pen or a ball point pen with liquid ink in a spacecraft
mojhsa [17]
It's probably because there is no gravity which ballpoint pens need for inkflow to the tip.
