Undergrad Where is the bridge between Calculus and Physics?
sry to disappoint... but, no bugs bunny. lol what if i said i just started calculus II about a month ago. I can do integrals by sub, parts, but I am not seeing where they are used. -

Calculating Charge and Acceleration of Two Charged Spheres
Homework Statement Two very small 8.55-g spheres, 20.0cm apart from center to center, are charged by adding equal numbers of electrons to each of them. Disregarding all other forces, how many electrons would you have to add to each sphere so that the two spheres will accelerate at 15.0 g...- Josh930

Finding final velocity given 2 charges
well i worked out part 1 of the problem and got 24.5m/s which is wrong. When finding the potential energy at the point .410, which lies between the 2 charges, do i use .410 for the distance r in the equation; U=(8.85e9)*(-2.6e-6 * -7.6e-6)/r = 1/2mv^2 ?- Josh930

Finding final velocity given 2 charges
so i need to find the electrical potential energy. Then this is equal to the KE= 1/2mv^2; so K(Q1Q2)/r=1/2mv^2 and solve for v at r .410m for the first question then how do i find how close they get to each other. Using the same equations and solving for r where ke=u? if so, how do i...- Josh930
