From a distance of 10 cm, a proton is projected with a speed of v=4.0106 m/s directly at a large, positively charged plate whose charge density is =2.0105 C/m2. (See below.) (a) Does the proton reach the plate? (b) If not, how far from the plate does it turn around?
The ink drops have a mass m = 1.00x10-11 kg each and leave the nozzle and travel horizontally toward the paper at velocity v = 15.0 m/s. The drops pass through a charging unit that gives each drop a positive charge q by causing it to lose some electrons. The drops hen pass between parallel deflecting plates of length Do = 2.50 cm , where there is a uniform vertical electric field with magnitude E = 7.85x104 N/C. (Figure 1) %3D - Part A If a drop is to be deflected a distance d = 0.260 mm by the time it reaches the end of the deflection plate, what magnitude of charge q must be given to the drop? Assume that the density of the ink drop is 1000 kg/m³ , and ignore the effects of gravity. %3D 3 Express your answer numerically in coulombs.
Two red blood cells each have a mass of 5.05 × 10-¹4 kg and carry a negative charge spread uniformly over their surfaces. The repulsion arising from the excess charge prevents the cells from clumping together. Once cell carries -2.60 pC of charge and the other -2.70 pC, and each cell can be modeled as a sphere 8.20 µm in diameter. What minimum relative speed u would the red blood cells need when very far away from each other to get close enough to just touch? Ignore viscous drag from the surrounding liquid. V = What is the magnitude of the maximum acceleration amax of each cell? Cmax = m/s m/s²
