1.8 x 10-6 is incorrect as well :( my answer is 2.22 x 10^-6 not 6 both are incorrect anyways

i checked over calculations and everything... really stumped thkz for the 103 tip

0.9 = (8.99 x 10^9)q1 (14 x 10^-5 - q1)/ 1.7^2 2.6 = 1.26 x 10^6 q1 - 8.99 x10^9 q1^2 -8.99 x10^9 q1^2 + 1.26 x 10^6 q1 - 2.6 = 0 quadratic.. -1.26 x 10^6 + sqt ((1.26 x 10^6)^2 - 4(- 8.99^9)(-2.6)) / 2(-8.99^9) = 2.22 x 10^6 the subtraction root from same equation = 1.38 x10^-4

Homework Statement Two small, positively charged spheres have a combined charge of 14.0 × 10-5 C. If each sphere is repelled from the other by an electrostatic force of 0.9 N when the spheres are 1.7 m apart, what is the charge (in Coulombs) on the sphere with the smaller charge? Homework...

Homework Statement In the figure 21-40, three identical conducting spheres form an equilateral triangle of side length d = 24.0 cm. The sphere radii are much smaller than d and the sphere charges are qA = -3.45 nC, qB = -3.91 nC, and qC = +6.09 nC. (a) What is the magnitude of the...

anyone??

Could anyone else please provide some input?

Yea.. that doesn't help much =P

What? lol what are you asking

how do i take that into account..?

Homework Statement A physical pendulum consists of 4.8 m long sticks joined together as shown in Fig. 15-43. What is the pendulum's period of oscillation about a pin inserted through point A at the center of the horizontal stick...

Two thin rods (each of mass 0.50 kg) are joined together to form a rigid body as shown in Fig. 10-66. One of the rods has length L1 = 0.30 m, and the other has length L2 = 0.60 m. What is the rotational inertia of this rigid body about (a) an axis that is perpendicular to the plane of the paper...

Homework Statement The masses and coordinates of four particles are as follows: 27 g, x = 2.0 cm, y = 2.0 cm; 16 g, x = 0, y = 4.0 cm; 43 g, x = -3.0 cm, y = -3.0 cm; 61 g, x = -2.0 cm, y = 4.0 cm. What are the rotational inertias of this collection about the (a) x, (b) y, and (c) z axes...

Homework Statement A thin rod, of length L = 2.00 m and negligible mass, that can pivot about one end to rotate in a vertical circle. A ball of mass m = 5.00 kg is attached to the other end. The rod is pulled aside to angle theta = 30 and released with initial velocity v= 0. As the ball...

hmm interesting. So how would I know to play with the units rather than using typical linear momentum equations?
