Answer:
a = -7.29 m / s²
Explanation:
For this exercise we must use Newton's second law,
F -W = m a
Force is electrical force
F = k q₁ q₂ / r²
k q₁ q₂ / r² -mg = m a
indicate that the charge of the two spheres is equal
q₁ = q₂ = q
a = (k q² / r² - m g) / m
a = k q² / m r² - g
Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system
m = 0.19 g (1kg / 1000 g) = 1.9 10⁻⁴ kg
q1 = q2 = q = -23.0 nC (1C / 10⁹ nC) = -23.0 10⁻⁹ C
r = 10.0 cm (1m / 100cm) = 0.1000 m
let's calculate
a = 9 10⁹ (23.0 10⁻⁹)² / (0.1000² 1.9 10⁻⁴) - 9.8
a = -7.29 m / s²
The negative sign indicates that the direction of this acceleration is downward
The farther away an object is from the Sun the slower it orbits around it. The closer an object is from the Sun the faster it orbits around it.
The 48 and 47 are different atomic masses, this is caused by having a different number of neutrons.
