    What Happens to the Speed and Proximity of Two Charged Metal Spheres in Motion?

    Homework Statement A small metal sphere, carrying a net charge of q_1 = -2.60 \mu C, is held in a stationary position by insulating supports. A second small metal sphere, with a net charge of q_2 = -7.70 \mu C and mass 1.40 g, is projected toward q_{1}. When the two spheres are 0.800 \rm m...

    How to Calculate Revolutions of a Wheel with Applied Brakes?

    I used a=alpha*r and i got the alpha to be .003, using Omegaf2=Omegai2+2*alpha*Theta i get 28166, but the answer should be 672.9 EDIT: nevermind, i got it, thanks!

    How Far is an Object Orbiting Earth if Its Period is 32 Days?

    for the first few tries i canceled one r on each side of the equation, it came out to be r=G*M*Me/M*(2pi/32)^2 then i realized i was cancelling a r with a 1/r, so i carried the r^2 over and it became r^3, so i took the cube root of the answer, tried cancelling the M's, and still nothing.

    How Far is an Object Orbiting Earth if Its Period is 32 Days?

    ahh thanks for catching that Doc. Al :D I'm sorry i still haven't solved it, I am really getting frustrated haha... i made the change in the equation but my answer is still off, is the mass in Fg=M*ac the mass of the object, right?

    How Far is an Object Orbiting Earth if Its Period is 32 Days?

    ok so i setup it up to look like this: Fg=m*r*(32/2pi)2 Then i substituted it back into the original equation and i got: G*M*Me/M*(32/2pi)2=r and this comes out to 1.87e10 the correct answer is supposed to be 4.26e8

    How Far is an Object Orbiting Earth if Its Period is 32 Days?

    I set it up so that Fg=Mac, since Ac=V2/r, but the radius is still in the equation. If substituted it back in i would have another unknown, velocity. What am i missing here? is there another force? edit: Should i use v=r*omega, Period=2pi/omega, and substitute v=r*(28/2pi) into the Fg=M(V^2/r)...
