A metal ball with diameter of a half a centimeter and hanging from an insulating thread is charged up with 1010 excess electrons. An initially uncharged identical metal ball hanging from an insulating thread is brought in contact with the first ball, then moved away, and they hang so that the distance between their centers is 20 cm. (a) Calculate the electric force one ball exerts on the other, and state whether it is attractive or repulsive. (Enter the magnitude of the force.)N
(b) Is this force repulsive or attractive?
(c) Now the balls are moved so that as they hang, the distance between their centers is only 5 cm. Naively one would expect the force that one ball exerts on the other to increase by a factor of 42 = 16, but in real life the increase is a bit less than a factor of 16. Explain why, including a diagram. (Nothing but the distance between centers is changed -- the charge on each ball is unchanged, and no other objects are around. Do this on paper. Your instructor may ask you to turn in this work.)

Next a skier is pulled by a tow rope up a frictionless ski slope that makes an angle of 15 with the horizontal. the rope moves parallel to the slope with a constant speed of 0.69 m/s. the force of the rope does 800 3 of work on the skier as the skier moves a distance of 8.4 m up the incline. (a) if the rope moved with a constant speed of 2.2 m/s how much work would the force of the rope do on the skier as the skler moved a distance of 8.4 m up the incline? at what rate is the force of the rope doing work on the skier when the rope moves with a speed of (b) 0.69 m/s and (c) 2.2 m/s?

The chart shows the costs and shipping times for materials that a company needs to build a new product. which describes the best trade-off if the company needs to start building their product within the next two years? they should order the domestic materials because it is always best to choose the fastest shipping time. they should order the imported materials because it is always best to choose the lowest cost for materials. since the shipping time is longer, they should order the domestic materials because the additional cost is worth it to get the materials in time. even though the shipping time is longer, they should order the imported materials because they are less expensive and should arrive in plenty of time to build the product.
