A solid plastic ball has a radius of 6.0 cm and has a charge of +3.o nC ( in nano-Coulombs) that is uniformly distributed throughout its volume. Imagine there is a proton being held 1.5 cm away from the surface of the solid plastic ball, and then the proton is released. The proton will accelerate away from the ball, as we know, due to the repulsive electric force. Assuming the ball doesn't move, how fast is the proton moving when it is 5.5 cm away from the surface of the ball?

A charge +q is located at the origin. A charge - 2q is at 3.15 m on the x axis. (a) For what finite value of x is the electric field zero? 7 Xm To the right of both charges, which charge is always closest? Does it have the smaller or larger charge? At what locations are there two field contributions that can cancel to produce zero net field? (b) For what finite value(s) of x is the electric potential zero? x m Because the charge of -2q is closer than the charge of +q for this value of x, the 2q dominates and the total field cannot be zero. m smaller value larger value

Two red blood cells each have a mass of 9.05 × 10-14 kg and carry a negative charge spread uniformly over their surfaces. The repulsion arising from the excess charge prevents the cells from clumping together. One cell carries -3.00 pC and the other -2.60 pC, and each cell can be modeled as a sphere 3.75 × 10-º m in radius. If the red blood cells start very far apart and move directly toward each other with the same speed, what initial speed would each need so that they get close enough to just barely touch? Assume that there is no viscous drag from any of the surrounding liquid. initial speed: m/s What is the maximum acceleration of the cells as they move toward each other and just barely touch? maximum acceleration: m/s?
