(a)
According to Newton's second law, the force experienced by each balloon is given by:
F = ma
where
m = 0.021 kg is the mass
a = 1.1 m/s^2 is the acceleration
Substituting, we found:
The electrostatic force between the two balloons can be also written as
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
Q is the charge on each balloon
r = 16 m is their separation
Since we know the value of F, we can find Q, the magnitude of the charge on each balloon:
(b) electrons
The magnitude of the charge of one electron is
While the magnitude of the charge on one balloon is
This charge can be written as
where N is the number of electrons that are responsible for this charge. Solving for N, we find:
Refer to the diagram shown.
When the student climbs onto the platform, the spring stretches by 0.82 m to reach the equilibrium position.
The mass of the student is m = 90 kg, so his weight is
mg = (90 kg)*(9.8 m/s²) = 882 N
By definition, the spring constant is
k = (882 N)/(0.82 m) = 1075.6 N/m
When the spring is stretched by x from the equilibrium position, the restoring force is
F = - k*x.
If damping is ignored, the equation of motion is
F = m * acceleration
or
Define ω² = k/m = 11.751 => ω = 3.457.
Then the solution of the ODE is
x(t) = c₁ cos(ωt) + c₂ sin(ωt)
x'(t) = -c₁ω sin(ωwt) + c₂ω cos(ωt)
When t=0, x' =0, therefore c₂ = 0
The solution is of the form
x(t) = c₁ cos(ωt)
When t = 0, x = 0.32 m. Therefore c₁ = 0.32
The motion is
x(t) = 0.32 cos(3.457t)
The single amplitude is 0.32 m, and the double amplitude is 0.64 m.
Answer:
0.32 m (single amplitude), or
0.64 m (double amplitude)
