Short Answer

Bead A has a mass of 15 g and a charge of -5.0nC. Bead B has a mass of 25 g and a charge of-10.0nC. The beads are held12 cm apart (measured between their centers) and released. What maximum speed is achieved by each bead?

- Maximum speed achieved by band A is 1.77 cm/s.

- Maximum speed achieved by band B is1.06 cm/s.

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Given information

ma=15gmmu=25gmqa=-5×10-7C4a=-10×10-9Cr=12 cm

We know that initial energy of system is

PE-14sinθsintr

WhereEi-Initial energy of the system

qa =charge on bead a de

qt= charge on bead b

K= distance l in meters

Final energy of system is kinetic energy

Here,

ma= mass of bead a

mb= mass of bead b

Va=velocity of bead a

vb =velocity of bead b

Step 2: Calculation

According to energy conservation, Initial energy final energy Ei=Ef

Plugging the values in the above equation,14πϵ04aqur=12mava2+12mbvb2.(1)

According to law of conservation of momentum

muvu=mbvb

vb=m1,v0-+1(2)

Putting (2) in (1)

121+mambmava2=14π0qbqbr

va=qaqbr14π02mambma+mb

Putting the given values,

va=2×25159×1092(.12)-5×10-9-10×10-9(.025+.015)

localid="1650117105638" role="math" =1.77 m/s

Using Eq. (2)

=1525×1.77

vb =1.06
