AI Thread Summary
The homework problem involves two insulating spheres with given masses and charges, released from rest at a distance apart. To find the speed of the smaller sphere upon collision, conservation of energy and momentum must be applied, requiring calculations of initial and final states. The student is struggling due to a lack of access to necessary equations from the first part of their physics textbook. They have not made progress in solving the problem and are seeking assistance. Understanding these concepts is crucial for determining the speed in m/s.

Ive got this one homework problem that i am totally clueless on. Any help?
"Two insulating spheres having radii 0.34 cm and 0.54 cm, masses 0.13kg and 0.58 kg, and charges -3x10^-6 C and 2x10^-6 C are released from rest when their centers are separated by 1.2m.

How fast is the smaller sphere moving when they collide? Answer in units m/s."
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The professor sent a message stating this. But he has not gone over any of these and i have searched the book for them.

It involves the use of the conservation of the total energy and momentum; set up equations for the initial total energy (kinetic plus electrical potential energy) and momentum and the final total energy and momentum at the moment of collision. Solution of these equations should provide the answer to the question raised.
 
Indeed you have to use those methods, but how far have you gotten so far in trying to solve them?
 
To be honest nowhere. My textbook is divided up into two parts. I have part 2 for physics 2 and those equations are in the first part. Its been over a year since i have taken phys 1 and i can't remember those formulas.
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
