Answer:
a)
two like charges always repel each other while two unlike charges attract each other. Since the spring stretches by 0.039 m, the charges have the same sign. both charges are positive(+) or Negative (-)
b)
both q1 and q1 are 8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C or -8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C
Explanation:
Given that;
L = 0.26 m
k = 180 N/m
x = 0.039 m
a)
we know that two like charges always repel each other while two unlike charges attract each other. Since the spring stretches by 0.039 m, the charges have the same sign.
b)
Spring force F = kx
F = 180 × 0.039
F = 7.02 N
Now, Electrostatic force F = Keq²/r²
where r = L + x = ( 0.26 + 0.039 )
we know that proportionality constant in electrostatics equations Ke = 9×10⁹ kg⋅m3⋅s−2⋅C−2
so from the equation; F = Keq²/r²
Fr² = Keq²
q = √ ( Fr² / Ke )
we substitute
q = √ ( 7.02 N × ( 0.26 + 0.039 )² / 9×10⁹ )
q = √ ( 7.02 N × ( 0.26 + 0.039 )² / 9×10⁹ )
q = √ (0.627595 / 9×10⁹)
q = √(6.97 × 10⁻¹¹)
q = 8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C
Therefore both q1 and q1 are 8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C or -8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C
Answer:
The velocity of the other fragment immediately following the explosion is v .
Explanation:
Given :
Mass of original shell , m .
Velocity of shell , + v .
Now , the particle explodes into two half parts , i.e 
.
Since , no eternal force is applied in the particle .
Therefore , its momentum will be conserved .
So , Final momentum = Initial momentum
The velocity of the other fragment immediately following the explosion is v .
The change in velocity is 5m/s which added to the initial 3m/s makes the final velocity 8m/s
Distance = (3*5) + (1/2*1*5^2)= 15+12.5= 27.5m
