Question
On planet Tehar, the free-fall acceleration is the same as that on the Earth, but there is also a strong downward electric field that is uniform close to the planet’s surface. A 2.00-kg ball having a charge of 5.00 μC is thrown upward at a speed of 20.1 m/s. It hits the ground after an interval of 4.10 s. What is the potential difference between the starting point and the top point of the trajectory?

- Cathode ray tubes (CRTS) used in old-style televisions have been replaced by modern LCD and LED screens. Part of the CRT included a set of accelerating plates separated by a distance of about 1.38 cm.

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?
