Physics

Small charged spheres are arranged as follows:

Description

Magnitude of Charge

x (cm)

y (cm)

Plastic sphere that was rubbed with wool

4.1 nC

2.7

0

Glass sphere that was rubbed with silk

3.4 nC

-1.1

1.1

  1. Determine the signs of the charged spheres.Explain.
  2. Determine the net electric field (magnitude and direction) atthe origin.

  3. Using your result from part b, determine the net electric force(magnitude and direction) on a proton initially placed at rest atthe origin. If you don't use your result from part b, then you willnot get any credit whatsoever on this part.

  4. Determine the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of theproton (you may ignore gravity).

  5. Could you use the constant-acceleration kinematics equations topredict the subsequent motion of the proton? Explain.
