Two positive charges, each with a charge of Q = 51.0 µC, are held fixed at a distance L= 24.60 cm to either side of a particle of charge q = -4.50 µC and mass m = 2.70 g. This particle is constrained to move along a vertical frictionless wire halfway between the two charges, as indicated in the figure. Neglecting any gravitational effects, determine the frequency f of small-amplitude oscillations of the particle. f= Hz L

A 3.35×10−5 kg3.35×10−5 kg positively charged ball with charge ?=7.75×10−6 Cq=7.75×10−6 C is resting on a flat, frictionless horizontal surface. For a time of ?=0.255 s,t=0.255 s, a constant electric field of magnitude ?=635 N/CE=635 N/C is directed vertically to the ball, which makes the ball rise to a height of ?.d. After this time, the electric field is turned off and the ball returns to the surface. Calculate, in meters, how high the ball is lifted off of the surface during the time ?.
A hydrogen atom contains a single electron that moves in a circular orbit about a single proton. Assume the proton is stationary, and the electron has a speed of 7.6 105 m/s. Find the radius between the stationary proton and the electron orbit within the hydrogen atom.
Three point particles, each with a mass m and a charge of +5.0 nC, are placed at the vertices of an equilateral trian- gle with side length l fixed in place, but the third experiences an acceleration of 8.0 cm. Two of the particles are 17.4 m/s? immediately after being released from rest. What is the mass m of each particle? (Suppose that the particles are located in outer space so that you can ignore the effects of gravity.)
Two small metallic spheres, each of mass m = 0.204 g, are suspended as pendulums by light strings of length L as shown in the figure below. The spheres are given the same electric charge of 6.8 nC, and they come to equilibrium when each string is at an angle of 8 = 5.05° with the vertical. How long are the strings? m m L 8 m
provides some pertinent background for this problem. Suppose a single electron orbits about a nucleus containing two protons (+2e), as would be the case for a helium atom from which one of the naturally occurring electrons is removed. The radius of the orbit is 3.09 × 10-11 m. Determine the magnitude of the electron's centripetal acceleration.
Two metal spheres of identical mass m 3.60 g are suspended by light strings 0.500 m in length. The left-hand sphere carries a charge of 0.885 μC, and the right-hand sphere carries a charge of 1.59 μC. What is the equilibrium separation between the centers of the two spheres? m =
