A 8.20 μC charged 1.00 g cork ball is suspended vertically on a 1.100 m long light string in the presence of a uniform downward-directed electric field of magnitude E = 8.50x105 N/C. If the ball is displaced slightly from the vertical, it oscillates like a simple pendulum. (c) Determine the acceleration of the ball due to the combined effects of the gravitational and electric fields. That is, what is the effective acceleration due to both gravity and the electric field? (What is the new "g" that you should use in the period equation?)
You've recently read about a chemical laser that generates a 20.0-cm-diameter, 30.0 MW laser beam. One day, after physics class, you start to wonder if you could use the radiation pressure from this laser beam to launch small payloads into orbit. To see if this might be feasible, you do a quick calculation of the acceleration of a 20.0-cm-diameter, 104 kg, perfectly absorbing block. What speed would such a block have if pushed horizontally 95.0 m along a frictionless track by such a laser? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Two 1.20 m non-conductive wires meet at a right angle. One segment has +10.0 µC of load evenly distributed along the length, and the other has -10.0 µC of load evenly distributed along the length as shown in the figure. Determine the modulus of the electric field in kN / C produced by these two wires at point P, which is 60.0 cm from each wire.
Why is the following situation impossible? Two identical dust particles of mass 1 μg arefloating in empty space, far from any external sources of large gravitational or electricfields, and at rest with respect to each other. Both particles carry electric charges that areidentical in magnitude and sign. The gravitational and electric forces between the particleshappen to have the same magnitude, so each particle experiences zero net force and thedistance between the particles remains constant.

A physics lab instructor is working on a new demonstration. She attaches two identical conducting spheres with mass m = 0.190 g to cords of length Las shown in the figure. There are two strings in the figure. The top of each string is connected to the ceiling, and both strings are connected at the same point. The bottom of each string is connected to a spherical mass labeled m. Both strings have length Land hang at an angle of θto the vertical, with the two strings on opposite sides of the vertical. Both spheres have the same charge of 8.00 nC, and are in static equilibrium when θ = 5.45°. What is L (in m)? Assume the cords are massless. m (b) What If? The charge on both spheres is increased until each cord makes an angle of θ = 10.9° with the vertical. If both spheres have the same electric charge, what is the charge (in nC) on each sphere in this case? nC
