Two positively charged spheres, each with a charge of 2.0x 10-5 C, a mass of
1.0 kg, and separated by a distance of 1.0 cm, are held in place on a frictionless
track.
(a) What is the electrostatic potential energy of this system?
(b) If the spheres are released, will they move toward or away from each other?
(c) What speed will each sphere attain as the distance between the spheres
approaches infinity?
(a) The electrostatic force (not energy) of attraction betweentwo oppositely charged objects is given by the equationF = k(Q1Q2>d2) where k = 8.99 x 109 N-m2/C2, Q1 andQ2 are the charges of the two objects in Coulombs, and d isthe distance separating the two objects in meters. What isthe electrostatic force of attraction (in Newtons) between anelectron and a proton that are separated by 1.00 x102 pm?(b) The force of gravity acting between two objects is givenby the equation F = G(m1m2>d2), where G is the gravitationalconstant, G = 6.674 x10-11N-m2/kg2, m1 and m2 arethe masses of the two objects, and d is the distance separatingthem. What is the gravitational force of attraction (inNewtons) between the electron and proton? (c) How manytimes larger is the electrostatic force of attraction?
(1) two baking sheets are made of different metals. you purchase both and bake a dozen cookies on each sheet at the same time in your oven. you observe that after 9 minutes, the cookies on one sheet are slightly burned on the bottom, whereas those on the other sheet are fine. (you are curious and you vary the conditions so you know the result is not caused by the oven.) (a) how can you use this observation to infer something about the specific heat of the materials in the baking sheets? (b) what is the mathematical reasoning (equation) that you need to support your conclusion?
