Question

can someone check if my answer is correct, heres the problem, two identical positive charges has been separated by a 2.6 x 10^-2m, being released from rest. immediaately after the release, particle 1 has an accelelration a1 whose magnitude is 4.6 x 10^3m/s^2, while particle 2 has an acceleration a2 whose magintude is 8.5 x 10^3 m/s^2. find the unknown charge on each paticle and the mass of particle 2

Answer 1

F = ma
F = (6x10^-6)(4.6 x 10^3)
F = 0.0276 N
F = kq1q2/r^2
o.o276 = 9.0 x 10^9(x^2)/ (2.6x10^-2)^2
x = 5. 078 x 10^-8
mass1
m = f/a
= 0.0276/8.5x10-3
m= 3.247x10^-6

Sowwy no idea :/

Answer 11

post it on the physics forum

centre of mass will be same throughout

coulumbs law and newton laws of motion.
