Answer:
The charge in each ball will be 3 * 10^-12 C
Explanation:
(Assuming the correct charge of the second ball is 8 * 10^-12)
When the balls are brought in contact, all the charges are split evenly among then.
So first we need to find the total charge combined:
(-3 * 10^-12) + (8 * 10^-12) + (4 * 10^-12) = 9 * 10^-12 C
Then, when the balls are separated, each ball will have one third of the total charge, so in the end they will have the same charge:
(9 * 10^-12) / 3 = 3 * 10^-12 C
So the charge in each ball will be 3 * 10^-12 C
Answer:
25 m/s in the opposite direction with the ship recoil velocity.
Explanation:
Assume the ship recoil velocity and velocity of the cannon ball aligns. By the law of momentum conservation, the momentum is conserved before and after the shooting. Before the shooting, the total momentum is 0 due to system is at rest. Therefore, the total momentum after the shooting must also be 0:
where are masses of the ship and ball respectively. are the velocities of the ship and ball respectively, after the shooting.
So the cannon ball has a velocity of 25 m/s in the opposite direction with the ship recoil velocity.
The electron is accelerated through a potential difference of
, so the kinetic energy gained by the electron is equal to its variation of electrical potential energy:
where
m is the electron mass
v is the final speed of the electron
e is the electron charge
is the potential difference
Re-arranging this equation, we can find the speed of the electron before entering the magnetic field:
Now the electron enters the magnetic field. The Lorentz force provides the centripetal force that keeps the electron in circular orbit:
where B is the intensity of the magnetic field and r is the orbital radius. Since the radius is r=25 cm=0.25 m, we can re-arrange this equation to find B:
