A 2.0gmetal cube and a 4.0gmetal cube are 6.0cmapart, measured between their centers, on a horizontal surface. For both, the coefficient of static friction is0.65. Both cubes, initially neutral, are charged at a rate of 7.0nC/s. How long after charging begins does one cube begin to slide away? Which cube moves first?

Short Answer

Expert verified

A 2.0gmetal cube begins to slide away at a charge of71.4nCwith time10.2s.

A 4.0gmetal cube begins to slide away at a charge of100nCwith time 14.3s.

A 2.0gmetal cube moves first.

Step by step solution

01

Given values

μ=0.65

g=9.81ms2

r=6.0cm→0.060m

m1=2.0g→0.0020kg

m2=4.0g→0.0040kg

K=9×109N·m2C2

Δ²ÏΔ³Ù=7.0nCs

02

Calculation for charge for 2.0 g metal cube and 4.0 g metal cube.

Formula is,

F=μ³¾1g-Kq1q2r2=0

0=μ³¾1g-Kq1q2r2

The charges are all the same.

μ³¾1g=Kq2r2

Both side multiplied by r2

r2·μ³¾1g=r2·Kq2r2

r2·μ³¾1g=Kq2

Both sides are split by K,

r2·μ³¾1gK=K·q2K∴The charging of 2.0gmetal cube is given by

q=r2·μ³¾1gK

q=(0.060m)2·(0.65)(0.0020kg)9.81ms29×109N·m2C2

q=7.14×10-8C=71.4nC

role="math" localid="1649577997286" ∴charging of 4.0 g metal cube is given by

role="math" localid="1649577867082" q=r2·μ³¾2gK=(0.060)2(0.65)(0.0040)(9.81)9×109q=1.0×10-7C=100nC

03

Calculation for charging rate for 2.0 g metal cube and 4.0 g metal cube.

Changing time for 2.0gmetal cube is,

Δ³Ù=qΔ²ÏΔ³Ù

Δ³Ù=71.4nC7.0nCs

Δ³Ù=10.2s

Charging time for4.0gmetal cube is,

Δ³Ù=qΔ²ÏΔ³ÙΔ³Ù=100nC7.0nC/sΔ³Ù=14.3s

04

Which metal cube moves first.

A 2.0gmetal cube charges about 10.2swhereas a 4.0gmetal cube charges about 14.3s.∴2.0gmetal cube moves first.
