Answer: The two places altitudes are: 16.17 m and 40.67 m

Explanation:

Hi!

Lets call z to the vertical direction (z= is ground) . Then the positions of the balloon and the pellet, using the values of the velocities we are given, are:

$z_b =\text{balloon position}\\z_p=\text{pellet position}\\z_b=(7\frac{m}{s})t\\z_p=30\frac{m}{s}(t-t_0)-\frac{g}{2}(t-t_0)^2\\g=9.8\frac{m}{s^2}$

How do we know the value of t₀? This is the time when the pellet is fired. At this time the pellet position is zero: its initial position. To calculate it we know that the pellet is fired when the ballon is in z = 12m. Then:

$t_0=\frac{12}{7}s$

We need to know the when the z values of balloon and pellet is the same:

$z_b=z_p\\(7\frac{m}{s})t =30\frac{m}{s}(t-\frac{12}{7}s)-\frac{g}{2}(t-\frac{12}{7}s)^2$

We need to find the roots of the quadratic equation. They are:

$t_1=2.31s\\t_2=5.81$

To know the altitude where the to objects meet, we replace the time values:

$z_1=16,17m\\z_2=40,67m$

Answer:

Approximately $5.5\; \rm N$ , assuming that the volume of these two charged objects is negligible.

Explanation:

Assume that the dimensions of these two charged objects is much smaller than the distance between them. Hence, Coulomb's Law would give a good estimate of the electrostatic force between these two objects regardless of their exact shapes.

Let $q_1$ and $q_2$ denote the magnitude of two point charges (where the volume of both charged object is negligible.) In this question, $q_1 = 20 \times 10^{-6}\; \rm C$ and $q_2 = 15 \times 10^{-6}\; \rm C$ .

Let $r$ denote the distance between these two point charges. In this question, $r = 0.7\; \rm m$ .

Let $k$ denote the Coulomb constant. In standard units, $k \approx 8.98755\times 10^{9}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{3}\cdot s^{-2}\cdot C^{-2}$ .

By Coulomb's Law, the magnitude of electrostatic force (electric force) between these two point charges would be:

$\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}}\end{aligned}$ .

Substitute in the values and evaluate:

$\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}}\\ &\approx 8.98755 \times 10^{9}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{3}\cdot s^{-2}\cdot C^{-2} \\ &\quad \times 20\times 10^{-6}\; \rm C\\ &\quad \times 15\times 10^{-6}\; \rm C \\ &\quad \times \frac{1}{{(0.7\; \rm m)}^{2}}\\ &\approx 5.5\; \rm N \end{aligned}$ .
