The electrostatic force between the glass bead and the plastic bead is given by:
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 is the charge of the glass bead
q2 is the charge of the plastic bead
r is the separation between the two beads
In this problem,
and
, and since we know the force,
, we can rearrange the equation to find q2, the charge of the plastic bead:
Time in the universe vs the population
Answer:
ELASTIC collision
kinetic energy is conservate
Explanation:
As the ball bounces to the same height, it can be stated that the impact with the floor is ELASTIC.
As the floor does not move the conservation of the moment
po = pf
-mv1 = m v2
- v1 = v2
So the speed with which it descends is equal to the speed with which it rises
Therefore the kinetic energy of the ball before and after the collision is the same
