When conducting objects (such as metals) are connected for a brief time, charge can be made to flow quite easily from one to the

other, even if the objects are in contact for an extremely brief amount of time. To that end, consider two identical metallic ball bearings (i.e., two very tiny metallic solid spheres) having unknown charges 41 and 42. It is found that when they are placed 1 m apart, they experience a 25-N attractive force.
(a) What can you conclude about the charges on these metal marbles from the information given?
(b) The ball bearings are made to touch very briefly and then are separated by 1 m again. What can you conclude about the charges now? Explain.
(c) Suppose that when the charges are 1 m apart, after briefly touching, they again feel a force of 25 N Determine the charges 41 and 42.

Answer:

a) charges of the opposite,  b)  Δq = q₄₂-q₄₁, force is repulsive

c) q = 5.27 10⁻⁵ C

Explanation:

a) In electrostatic studies it is found that charges of the same sign repel and charges of the opposite sign attract.

On the other hand, as the force between the spheres is attractive, the charges on them are of different sign

b) When the balls touch, the charges are quickly distributed between the two spheres, therefore there are two possibilities:

* if the charges were equal and as they are of the opposite sign, they are neutralized, therefore the spheres remain uncharged

    The force between them is zero

* if the charges are different, a residual charge remains

             Δq = q₄₂-q₄₁

that is distributed between the two spheres and the force between them is repulsive

c) For this case the charges on the two spheres is equal

          q₄₁ = q₄₂ = q

the force is repulsive so the charges are of the same sign.

We can apply Coulomb's law

          F = k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

in this case

          F = k \frac{q^2}{r^2}

          q = \sqrt{ \frac{F \ r^2}{k} }

let's calculate

          q = \sqrt{ \frac{25 \ 1^2}{9 \ 10^{9}} } = \sqrt{27.7778 \ 10^{-10}}

          q = 5.27 10⁻⁵ C

A mass m is attached to a string connected to a force sensor on a rotating platform. The platform’s angular velocity, ω, can be
makkiz [27]

Answer:

The mass m is 0.332 kg or 332 gm

Explanation:

Given

The platform is rotating with angular speed , \omega =8.5\, \frac{rad}{sec}

Mass m is moving on platform in a circle with radius , r=0.20\, m

Force sensor reading to which spring is attached , F=4.8\, N

Now for the mass m to move in circle the required centripetal force is given by F=m\omega ^{2}r

=>4.8=m\times 8.5 ^{2}\times 0.20

=>m=0.332\, kg

Thus the mass m is 0.332 kg or 332 gm
