Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 10CQ
A crate on rollers is pushed up an inclined plane into a truck. The pushing force required is less than half the force that would be needed to lift the crate straight up into the truck. Does the inclined plane serve as a simple machine in this situation? Explain.

20. Two small conducting spheres are placed on top of insulating pads. The 3.7 × 10-10 C sphere is fixed whie
the 3.0 × 107 C sphere, initially at rest, is free to move. The mass of each sphere is 0.09 kg. If the spheres
are initially 0.10 m apart, how fast will the sphere be moving when they are 1.5 m apart?
