Near the surface of the Earth there is an electric field of about 150 V/m which points downward. Two identical balls with mass 0.321 kg are dropped from a height of 2.15 m , but one of the balls is positively charged with q1 = 360 μC , and the second is negatively charged with q2=-360 μC .

Use conservation of energy to determine the difference in the speeds of the two balls when they hit the ground. (Neglect air resistance.)
v+−v− =


Sagot :

The difference in the speeds of the two balls when they hit the ground is mathematically given as

V=0.10m/s

What is the difference in the speeds of the two balls when they hit the ground.?

Generally, the equation for Acceleration due to  electric field is mathematically given as

[tex]A=g+\frac{q1E}{m}\\\\Therefore\\\\A=9.8*\frac{600*1000*150*}{0.520}\\\\A=9.97m/s2[/tex]

For Negative charge

[tex]A=g+\frac{q1E}{m}\\\\A=9.8*\frac{-600*1000*150*}{0.520}\\\\A=9.62m/s2[/tex]

In conclusion, the speed of the negative ball

[tex]v1=\sqrt{2ah}\\\\v1=\sqrt{2*9.67*2m}[/tex]

v1=6.21m/s

The  difference in v

V=v1-v2

V=6.31-6.21

V=0.10m/s
