Two identical steel balls mounted on wooden posts initially have different amounts of charge, one with -14uc and the other with -2uc. the balls are allowed to touch then separated again. what is the final charge on each ball?

Both steel balls will have charge equal to

Explanation:

We have given that charge on the balls initially are

And

We have to find the charge on the both balls when they are touhed to each other

We know that when two charge particles are come together then charge is equally distributed

So charge on each ball will be equal to

So both steel balls will have charge equal to

not too sure thinking it will always be directed towards the centre of the earth. could be wrong not sure

force is mass*acceleration.

we have a very small mass: 11.4*0.001 kg

if we want 0.035n of force, we need an acceleration:

0.035 = 11.4*0.001*a

a = 0.035/(11.4*0.001) m/s^2
