A bead with a mass of 0.050 g and a charge of 20 nC is free to slide on a vertical rod. At the base of the rod is a fixed 20 nC

charge. In equilibrium, at what height above the fixed charge does the bead rest?

Answer:

height above the fixed charge is 8.571 cm

Explanation:

given data

mass m = 0.050 g = 5 × 10^{-5} kg

charge bead q1 = 20 nC = 20 × 10^{-9} C

charge base q2 = 20 nC = 20× 10^{-9} C

to find out

what height above the fixed charge does the bead rest

solution

we know that when charge at rest then downward gravitational force is balance by electrostatic force so

mg = k\frac{q1q2}{r^2}   .............1

here k is 9 × 10^{9} Nm²/C² and g = 9.8 m/s² and r is height of bread  

put here all value in equation 1

5*10^{-5}*9.8 = 9*10^{9} \frac{20*10^{-9}*20*10^{-9}}{(r^2}

r² = 7.3469 × 10^{-3}

r = 0.08571 m = 8.571 cm

so height above the fixed charge is 8.571 cm

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that , for an object to remain in  circular motion , a force towards centre is required which is called centripetal force. In the circular motion of

satellites around planet , this force is provided by the gravitational attraction between satellite and planet.

If M be the mass of planet and m be the mass of satellite,  G be gravitational constant and R be the distance between planet and satellite or R be the radius of orbit

Gravitational force = G Mm / R²

If v be the velocity with which satellite is orbiting

centripetal force

= m v² /R

Centripetal force = gravitational attraction

m v² /R  =  G Mm / R²

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R} }

Time period = time the satellite takes to make one rotation

= distance / orbital velocity

= 2πR/ v

= \frac{2\pi R\sqrt{R} }{\sqrt{GM} }

T = \frac{2\pi R^\frac{3}{2} }{\sqrt{GM} }
