A solid copper sphere has a net positive charge. The charge is distributed uniformly over the surface of the sphere, and the electric field inside the sphere is zero. Then a negative point charge outside the sphere is brought close to the surface of the sphere. Is all the net charge on the sphere still on its surface? If so, is this charge still distributed uniformly over the surface? If it is not uniform, how is it distributed? Is the electric field inside the sphere still zero? In each case justify your answers.

A skier of mass 75 kg is pulled up a slope by a motor-driven cable.
(a) How much work is required to pull him 50 m up a 30° slope (assumed frictionless) at a constant speed of 2.8 m/s?
KJ
(b) What power (expressed in hp) must a motor have to perform this task?

A block of mass m = 3.00 kg situated on a rough incline at an angle of 0 = 37.0° is connected to a spring of negligible mass having a spring constant of 100 N/m (see the figure below). The pulley is frictionelss. The block is released from rest when the spring is unstretched. The block
moves 11.0 cm down the incline before coming to rest. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and incline.
