Chapter 2.4, Problem 168E

[T] The following problems consider the scalar form of Coulomb’s law, which describes the electrostatic force between two point charges, such as elections. It is given by the equation F ( r ) = k e | q 1 q 2 | r 2 where keis Coulomb's constant, q i are the magnitudes of the charges of the two particles, and r is the distance between the two particles. 168. To simplify the calculation of a model with many interacting particles, after some threshold value r = R, we approximate F as zero.

  1. Explain the physical reasoning behind this assumption.

  • What is the force equation?
  • Evaluate the force F using both Coulomb’s law and our approximation, assuming two protons with a charge magnitude of 1.6022 × 10 19 coulombs (C), and the Coulomb constant k e = 8.988 × 10 9 N m 2 / C 2 are 1 m apart. Also, assume R < 1 m. How much inaccuracy does our approximation generate? Is our approximation reasonable?
  • Is there any finite value of R for which this system remains continuous at R?
  • Blurred answer

    The velocity v (in feet per second) of a rocket whose initial mass (including fuel) is m is given by as attached, where u is the expulsion speed of the fuel, r is the rate at which the fuel is consumed, and g = 32 feet per second per second is the acceleration due to gravity. Find the position equation for a rocket for which m = 50,000 pounds, u = 12,000 feet per second, and r = 400 pounds per second. What is the height of the rocket when t = 100 seconds?
    (5) A force T is applied at the tip of the rod as shown. If the n- component of the force is T, = 35 lb, determine the t-, x-, and y-components of the force T. The t-axis is directed along the rod, and the n-axis is perpendicular to the rod. Ans: T₁ =-130.6 lb, Tx=-103.6 lb, Ty = -86.9 lb T n 40° O 55°
    Calculate the force (in Newtons) required to push a 50kg wagon up a 0.2 radian inclined plane. One Newton (N) is equal to 1 kg-m and the g2 force due to gravity on the wagon is F = m * g, where m is the mass of the wagon, and g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 ). Please ignore friction in this problem. Hint: draw a picture, and express the forces on the wagon as vectors. Force N
