Question

Two insulating spheres have radii 0.300 cm and 0.500 cm, masses 0.450 kg and 0.700 kg, and uniformly distributed charges of -2.00 uC and 6.00 HC. They are released from rest when their centers are separated by 1.00 m (a) How fast will each be moving when they collide? (Hint: Consider conservation of energy and of linear momentum.) 3.95 Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. m/s (lighter sphere) m/s (heavier sphere) (b) If the spheres were conductors, would the speeds be greater or less than those calculated in part (a)? (Note Assume a reference level of potential V = 0 at r = 00,) O less than greater O the same

    Consider a cylindrical capacitor like that shown in Fig. 24.6. Let d = rb − ra be the spacing between the inner and outer conductors. (a) Let the radii of the two conductors be only slightly different, so that d << ra. Show that the result derived in Example 24.4 (Section 24.1) for the capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor then reduces to Eq.
