Two small pith balls, each of mass m = 14.2 g, are suspended from the ceiling of the physics lab by 0.5 m long fine strings and are not moving. If the angle which each string makes with the vertical is θθ = 29.1°, and the charges on the two balls are equal, what is the magnitude of that charge

1.424 μC

Explanation:

I'm assuming here, that the charged ball is suspended by the string. If the string also is deflected by the angle α, then the forces acting on it would be: mg (acting downwards),

tension T (acting along the string - to the pivot point), and

F (electric force – acting along the line connecting the charges).

We then have something like this

x: T•sin α = F,

y: T•cosα = mg.

Dividing the first one by the second one we have

T•sin α/ T•cosα = F/mg, ultimately,

tan α = F/mg.

Since we already know that

q1=q2=q, and

r=2•L•sinα,

k=9•10^9 N•m²/C²

Remember,

F =k•q1•q2/r², if we substitute for r, we have

F = k•q²/(2•L•sinα)².

tan α = F/mg =

= k•q²/(2•L•sinα)² •mg.

q = (2•L•sinα) • √(m•g•tanα/k)=

=(2•0.5•0.486) • √(0.0142•9.8•0.557/9•10^9) =

q = 0.486 • √(8.61•10^-12)

q = 0.486 • 2.93•10^-6

q = 1.424•10^-6 C

q = 1.424 μC.

from 1609, galileo galilei used the recently invented telescope to observe the sun, moon and planets. he saw the mountains and craters of the moon, and for the first time revealed the planets to be worlds in their own right. galileo also provided strong observational evidence that planets orbited the sun.

his discoveries about the moon, jupiter's moons, venus, and sunspots supported the idea that the sun - not the earth - was the center of the universe, as was commonly believed at the time.galileo turned his gaze toward venus, the brightest celestial object in the sky - other than the sun and the moon.

the answer would be c. motion and direction

i hope this : )
