Question

A 0.2 kg hairy ball :) is charged up to a net charge of Q, and is then suspended on a 0.25 m string in a uniform horizontal electric field strength of your [ E= Birth month N/C ] , Choose an angle of your choice at which the ball comes to rest θ=(30,20,45deg) from the vertical. What is the charge on the ball?

Answer 1

The charge on the hairy ball can be calculated using the given equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The charge on the hairy ball can be calculated using the equation:

Charge = Mass x Electric field strength x String length / sin(θ)

Where the mass of the ball is 0.2 kg, the electric field strength is determined by the birth month as given, the string length is 0.25 m, and θ is the angle chosen. For example, if θ is 30 degrees:

Charge = 0.2 kg x (Birth month N/C) x 0.25 m / sin(30°)
