Question
You have a lightweight spring whose unstretched length is 4.0 cm. First, you attach one end of the spring to the ceiling and hang a 1.8 gg mass from it. This stretches the spring to a length of 4.8 cm . You then attach two small plastic beads to the opposite ends of the spring, lay the spring on a frictionless table, and give each plastic bead the same charge. This stretches the spring to a length of 4.8 cm .
What is the magnitude of the charge (in nC) on each bead?

- Consider the final arrangement of charged particles shown in the figure below. What is the work necessary to build such an arrangement of particles, assuming they were originally very far from one another? (Let q1 = 7.5 nC, q2 = 3.0 nC and q3 = −19.5 nC.)arrow_forwardA particle of charge +1.8 µC is released from rest at the point x = 85 cm on an x axis. The particle begins to move due to the presence of a charge Q that remains fixed at the origin. What is the kinetic energy of the particle at the instant it has moved 15 cm if (a)Q = +38 µC and (b)Q = -38 µC? (a) Number Units (b) Number Unitsarrow_forwardWe assemble a group of three charges, each of + 2.0 µC, bringing them in from infinite distance, where we set V = 0. We put the first charge at x = 0 cm, then put the second one at x = 10 cm, and last put the third one at x = 20 cm. What was the total work done by the applied force? (Hint: At each step, W_applied = + Delta(PE) = + q Delta(V), where q is the charge you're bringing in now and V is determined by the charges that are already in place.)arrow_forward

- You and your colleagues have been tasked with launching a weather balloon into the Earth's stratosphere via rocket ship. In order to reduce fuel usage to meet with newly imposed fuel-consumption regulations, you are hoping to use the electric interaction between charges to your advantage. You have decided on the design below. You are able to place two Q = 1.98 C charges in the rocket ship and into the launching platform so that they are separated by a distance of yo = 2.93 m. You are allowed enough fuel to boost the rocket to an initial speed of vo = 309 m/s without accounting for the extra boost from the charges. The rocket on its own has a mass of 2.095x104 kg. The more equipment you can attach to your weather balloon (which is inside the rocket), the better. What limit do you put on the mass of the weather balloon and attached equipment? You may want to know the formula for gravitational potential energy for an object of mass m and height h: Egray = mgh, where g=9.81 m/s?.
