a) The figure shows an arrangement of two -1.9 nC charges, each separated by 5.0 mm from a proton. If the two negative charges are held fixed at their locations and the proton is given an initial velocity v as shown in the figure, what is the minimum initial speed v ( in km/s) that the proton needs to totally escape from the negative charges? (k = 1/4πε0 = 8.99 × 109 N.m2/C2, e = 1.60 × 10-19 C, mproton...

A mass weighing 16 pounds stretches a spring 8/3 feet. The mass is initially released from rest from a point 3 feet below the equilibrium position, and the subsequent motion takes place in a medium that offers a damping force that is numerically equal to 1/2 the instantaneous velocity. Find the equation of motion x(t) if the mass is driven by an external force equal to f(t) = 10 cos(3t). (Use g = 32 ft/s^2 for the acceleration due to...

Three identical particles with the same charge q and mass m are held at the corners of an equilateral triangle with sides d as shown: a) If all three particles are released simultaneously, what is their speed when they have traveled a large distance (effectively an infinite distance) from each other? b) Suppose instead that the particles are released one at a time. The first one is released, and when it is at a large distance away the second one...

Two metal balls A and B of negligible radius are floating at rest on Space Station Freedom between two metal bulkheads, connected by a taut nonconducting thread of length 3.00 m. Ball A carries charge q, and ball B carries charge 2q. Each ball is 1.36 m away from a bulkhead. (a) If the tension in the string is 2.55 N, what is the magnitude of q? (Ignore any contribution from induced charge in the bulkheads.) μC (b) What happens...

Two particles with the same mass, 70.0 g, are released from rest in space with an initial distance of 0.85 m between them. Particle A has charge 14.5 μC while particle B has charge 62.0 μC. What is the kinetic energy (in J) of particle B at the instant when the particles are 2.60 m apart? Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

A ball of mass m = 1.60 kg is released from rest at a height h = 77.0 cm above a light vertical spring of force constant k as in Figure [a] shown below. The ball strikes the top of the spring and compresses it a distance d = 8.10 cm as in Figure [b] shown below. Neglecting any energy losses during the collision, find the following. (a) Find the speed of the ball just as it touches the spring....

1. An ideal pendulum has all of its mass m concentrated at the end of a massless string of length L, as shown in the figure. The mass is pulled to a slight angle to the left and released from rest, and it takes exactly 1/8 th of a second to arrive at its maximum position at an equal angle on the right side of equilibrium. What is the frequency f of this motion? 2. An otherwise Earth-like planet is...
