Two small plastic spheres are given positive electrical charges. When they are 16.0 cm apart, the repulsive force between them has magnitude 0.200 N . Part A What is the charge on each sphere if the two charges are equal

q = 7.542 x 10⁻⁷ C = 754.2 nC

Explanation:

The Coulomb's Law gives the magnitude of the force of attraction or repulsion between two charges:

F = kq₁q₂/r²

where,

F = Force of attraction or repulsion = 0.2 N

k = Coulomb's Constant = 9 x 10⁹ N m²/C²

r = distance between charges = 16 cm = 0.16 m

q₁ = magnitude of 1st charge

q₂ = magnitude of 2nd charge

Since, both charges are said to be equal here.

q₁ = q₂ = q

Therefore,

0.2 N = (9 x 10⁹ N m²/C²)q²/(0.16 m)²

(0.2 N)(0.16 m)²/(9 x 10⁹ N m²/C²) = q²

q = √(5.88 x 10⁻¹³ C²)

q = 7.542 x 10⁻⁷ C = 754.2 nC

russian is not my first language, so i'm afraid i can't write out an answer in russian, but hopefully you can find a way to do so. here's my best translation of the problem: you're given a plot of a particle's position in one-dimensional space over time, and you're asked to find either the total distance traveled by the particle after 6 seconds had elapsed, or the total displacement of the particle after 6 seconds.

if you want the total distance traveled, you would first need to determine the particle's velocity as a function of time, then integrate that over the 6-second interval. we know the position function is quadratic with roots at 0 and 6, so we have

where is unknown. because the position is parabolic, there is symmetry about the midpoint at , and we know that

so that the position function is

which means the velocity is

then the total distance traveled is

so the total distance traveled is 20 m.

on the other hand, if you want to find displacement: the particle starts at and ends at , so its displacement is 0.
