A spherical rain drop of radius 1.00 mm has a charge of +3.40 nC. The electric field in the vicinity is 2.00 kN/C downward. The terminal
speed of an identical but uncharged drop is 5.50 m/s. The drag force is related to the drop's speed by Fd = bv (turbulent drag rather
than viscous drag). Calculate the terminal speed of the charged rain drop. Density of water is 1.000 x 103 kg/m3.

In the ever popular game from the future, Electrodisc, players can score double points by pushing a disc into another disc with the electric field generated by a
third disc. The discs are by regulation 1 kg. All discs have the same shape and are made of the same conducting material. In the figure below, disc 1 is held in
place, and disc 2 is held stationary 4.1 m from disc 1 by a player. The player then releases disc 2.
