Answer to Problem 18P
The velocity of insulating sphere 1 after collide is
Explanation of Solution
Given info: The radius of sphere 1 is
Consider the diagram of two insulating sphere having charge
Figure (1)
Write the expression to calculate the electric potential energy before collide,
Here,
Write the expression to calculate the potential energy after collide,
Here,
Add equation (1) and equation (2).
Write the equation of kinetic energy stored in charged sphere after collide, if velocity of charged sphere 1 is
Here,
From the law of conservation, both charged mass gets kinetic energy on diminishing of electric potential energy.
Then for equilibrium condition both energies will be same that is,
The negative sign shows that there is decrease in electric potential energy.
Substitute
Write the equation for conservation of momentum for final velocities of charged spheres.
Substitute
Substitute
Conclusion:
Therefore, the velocity of sphere 1 after collide is
(b)
The effect on velocity of spheres after collide if the sphere were conductor.

Answer to Problem 18P
The velocity of sphere will be greater for
Explanation of Solution
Given info: The radius of sphere 1 is
Due to polarization, the most of the positive charge of one sphere at the centre and most of the negative charge at the centre of other sphere will attracts each other due to which their average centre distance will be less then geometric centre distance. Hence potential energy will be less and kinetic energy will be more for conducting sphere, hence due to more kinetic energy velocities of conducting spheres after collide will be more.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the velocities of conducting sphere after collide will be more than velocities of insulating sphere after collide due to effect polarization.

The battleship is a distance d1 = 2,150 m to the east of the peak of a mountain on an island, as shown in the figure below. The destroyer is attempting to evade cannon shells fired from the battleship by hiding on the west side of the island. The initial speed of the shells that the battleship fires is vi = 245 m/s. The peak of the mountain is h = 1,840 m above sea level, and the western shore of the island is a horizontal distance d2 = 250 m from the peak. What are the distances (in m), as measured from the western shore of the island, at which the destroyer will be safe from fire from the battleship? (Note the figure is not to scale. You may assume that the height and width of the destroyer are small compared to d1 and h.)arrow_forward
