A large negatively charged object is placed on an insulated table. A neutral metallic ball rolls straight toward the object, however stops before it touches it. A second neutral metallic ball rolls along the path followed with the first ball, strikes the first ball, and stops. The first ball rolls forward, but does not touch the negative object. At no time does either ball touch the negative object. What is the final charge on each ball?

a. The first ball is positive, and the second ball is negative.

b. Both balls remain neutral.

c. The first ball is negative, and the second ball is positive.

d. Both balls are positive.

Suppose that the car is skidding as it decelerates : The front brake pads on your car wear out faster than the rear brake pads; in fact, some cars are specially designed with large front brake pads because of this. This results from the fact that when a car is breaking the magnitude of the friction for..

What is the period of the resulting oscillation : A 0.2 kg mass is attached to two springs by identical spring constants of 90 N/m and moves on a horizontal frictionless surface. The equilibrium length of each spring is 48 cm, so each is slightly stretched (to 50 cm) initially. The mass is then move..
