Chapter 24, Problem 62PQ
A simple pendulum has a small sphere at its end with mass m and charge q. The pendulum’s rod has length L and its weight is negligible. The pendulum is placed in a uniform electric field of strength E directed vertically upward. What is the period of oscillation of the sphere if the electric force is less than the gravitational force on the sphere? Assume the oscillations are small.

A ping pong ball and a tennis ball are dropped and there is a very small gap between them when the tennis ball hits the floor. Indicate the directions of the momentums of the ping pong ball and the tennis ball after the tennis ball collides with the floor, but before the balls collide with each other. (Drawing a diagram may be helpful.)
