Chapter 24, Problem 28P
You are a coach for the Physics Olympics team participating in a competition overseas. You are given the following sample problem to present to your team of students, which you need to solve very quickly: A person is standing on the midline of a soccer field. At one end of the field, as shown in Figure P24.28, is a letter D, consisting of a semicircular metallic ring of radius R and a long straight metal rod of length 2R, the diameter of the ring. The plane of the ring is perpendicular to the ground and perpendicular to the midline of the field shown by the broken line in Figure P24.28. Because of an approaching lightning storm, the semicircular ring and the rod become charged. The ring and the rod each attain a charge Q. What is the electric potential at point P, which is at a position x along the midline of the field, measured from the center of the rod, due to the letter D? Think quickly and use all resources available to you, which include your physics textbook: yon are in competition!

A simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in the figure, which depicts a uniform electric field between two plates. Electrons are released, usually from a hot filament, near the negative plate, and there is a small hole in the positive plate that allows the electrons to pass through.
Randomized Variables E = 2.7 × 104 N/C
Calculate the horizontal component of the electron's acceleration if the field strength is 2.7 × 104 N/C. Express your answer in meters per second squared, and assume the electric field is pointing in the negative x-direction as shown in the figure.
In the Rutherford model of the hydrogen atom, a proton (mass M, charge Q) is the nucleus and an electron (mass m, charge q) moves
around the proton in a circle of radius r. Let k denote the Coulomb force constant (1/4TTE0) and G the universal gravitational constant.
The ratio of the electrostatic force to the gravitational force between electron and proton is:
O kMm/GQq
