In the figure, two identical spheres of radius R are set up a distance d away from each other (d is the distance from the center of one to the center of the other). One sphere has charge +Q and is centered at x = 0. The other sphere has a charge -Q and is centered at x = d. You are using this set- up to accelerate a small particle with charge q and mass m. The particle starts at a position x, and ends up at a position xf = d - X₁. (The initial distance from the center of the positive sphere to the particle, x₁, is equal to the final distance from the center of the negative sphere to the particle.) The values in this problem are: d = 4.58 m, R = 0.18 m, Q=8.83x10 C, q = 8.13x108 C m = 2.82x10-5 kg, x₁ = 0.84 m If the small charge starts at rest, what is the final speed of the charge when it reaches x/? Give your answer in m/s to at least three digits, to avoid being counted incorrect due to rounding. Note: You can assume that the spheres are far enough apart that the charge on the sphere is uniformly distributed on their surfaces. R,+Q R₁-Q

Problem 2: Space explorers discover an mA = 8.7 x 10¹7 kg asteroid that happens to have a positive charge of qA = 4400 C. They would like to place their ms = 3.3 x 105 kg spaceship in orbit around the asteroid. Interestingly, the solar wind has given their spaceship a charge of qs -1.2 C. What speed must their spaceship have to achieve a 7500-km- diameter circular orbit? qA, MA + 2 0.gs, Ms
Two negative charges, each with a charge of -7.7 nC, are at fixed locations as shown below. A proton is launched from the midpoint of the line joining the charges in a direction perpendicular to the line joining the charges. Find the minimum initial velocity of the proton that will allow it to escape to infinity. Ignore gravitational or any other influences on the proton. (k=1/480 = 8.99 × 109 Nm²/C2, e = 1.60 × 10-19 C, mproton = 1.67× 10-27 kg).

Two foam blocks, each with a charge of 8 microcoulombs (1 µC = 10-6 C), are both held in place 8 cm apart in the east-west direction. A foam ball with a charge 38 µC is placed 55 cm north of the foam block on the west side. Then, the ball is released, and it moves as a result of the electrostatic force produced in this system. Draw a diagram of this system, and label the relevant objects, quantities, and force vectors before the ball is released.
Two identical point charges (q= +2.20 x 106 C) are fixed at opposite corners of a square whose sides have a length of 0.450 m. A test charge (qo = -3.10 x 108 C), with a mass of 9.40 x 10-8 kg, is released from rest at one of the corners of the square. Determine the speed of the test charge when it reaches the center of the square. Number i Units VR ·90
A positron has the charge and mass of an electron except that the charge is positive. A positron that is initially at rest at a distance of 2.0 nm away from a stationary carbon nucleus is then allowed to move freely. What will be the speed of the positron when it is infinitely far away from the carbon nucleus? Since the carbon nucleus is much more massive than the positron, it remains at rest. The mass and charge of a positron are m = 9.11 x 10-31 kg and e = 1.602 x 10-19 C, respectively, while the charge of a carbon nucleus is 6e. a. 3.0 x 106 m/s b. 2.4 x 106 m/s c. 1.8 x 106 m/s d. 3.6 x 106 m/s e. 1.2 x 106 m/s

One particle has a mass of 3.71 x 10‍3 kg and a charge of +7.56 µC. A second particle has a mass of 7.17 x 103 kg and the same charge. The two particles are initially held in place and then released. The particles fly apart, and when the separation between them is 0.177 m, the speed of the 3.71 x 103 kg-particle is 126 m/s. Find the initial separation between the particles.
