Answer:
The potential for r > rb is equal to zero.
Explanation:
For r > rb, the potential is:

Then, the net potential is:



Answer:
Air resistance slows down the ball
In space, there would be no air resistance
Explanation:
When an object moves through the air, there is a force acting in the opposite direction to the motion of the ball: this force is called air resistance.
Air resistance is due to the friction between the molecules of air and the molecules at the surface of the object - because of this frictional force, the object is slows down in its motion and loses some energy (which is converted into thermal energy of the surrounding air).
There is also the force of gravity (downward) that acts on the ball: however, this force does not slows down the ball in its motion, instead it accelerates it towards the ground.
In space, however, there is no air and no gravity. This means that there are no forces acting on the ball: therefore, the ball will not be slowed down, and therefore will continue its motion forever, at constant velocity, according to Newton's first law:
<em>An object at rest (or in motion) will stay at rest (or in motion at constant velocity) when the net external force acting on it is zero</em>
The SI Measuring Unit for force is the Newton
Answer:
r₂ = 4 r
Explanation:
For this exercise let's use Newton's second law with the magnetic force
F = q v x B
bold letters indicate vectors, the magnitude of this expression is
F = q v B sin θ
in this case we assume that the angle is 90º between the speed and the magnetic field.
If we use the rule of the right hand with the positive charge, the thumb in the direction of the speed, the fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field, the palm points in the direction of the force, which is towards the center of the circle, therefore the force is radial and the acceleration is centripetal
a = v² / r
let's use Newton's second law
F = ma
q v B = m v² / r
r =
Let's apply this expression to our case.
Proton 1
r = \frac{qB_1}{mv_1}
Proton 2
r₂ = 
in the exercise indicate some relationships between the two protons
* v₁ = 2 v₂
v₂ = v₁ / 2
* B₂ = 2B₁
we substitute
r₂ =
r₂ = 4
r₂ = 4 r
Answer:
No. Touching a live electric current is never a good idea.
