Answer:

In space there is no air resistance. on earth there is

in space there is no opposite forces acting on stopping the ball, so if you throw it it will go on forever.

on earth there is air resistance and gravity, this will pull the ball towards the ground and slow it down.

If a proton were released from rest at the sphere's surface, what would be its speed far from the sphere?

balu736 [363]

Let the sphere is having charge Q and radius R

Now if the proton is released from rest

By energy conservation we can say

$U = K$

$\frac{kQe}{R} = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$\frac{2kQe}{mR} = v^2$

now take square root of both sides

$v =\sqrt{\frac{2kQe}{mR}}$

so the proton will move by above speed and

here Q = charge on the sphere

R = radius of sphere

$k = 9 * 10^9$
