A0.00275 kg air‑inflated balloon is given an excess negative charge q1 =−3.50×10−8 c by rubbing it with a blanket. it is found that a charged rod can be held above the balloon at a distance of d = 0.0640 m to make the balloon float.
1) in order for this to occur, what polarity of charge must the rod possess?
q2 is
a) negative
b) proton
c) neutral
d) positive
2) how much charge, q2, does the rod have?
assume the balloon and rod to be point charges. the coulomb force constant is 1/(4o)8.99 x10 n m2/c2 and the acceleration due to gravity g-9.81 m/s2 o negative 42 is proton o neutral positive number tools x 102

1)   is positive.

2)

Explanation:

The charged rod is held above the balloon and the weight of the balloon acts in downwards direction. To balance the weight of the balloon, the force on the balloon due to the rod must be directed along the upwards direction, which is only possible when the rod exerts an attractive force on the balloon and the electrostatic force on the balloon due to the rod is attractive when the polarities of the charge on the two are different.

Thus, In order for this to occur, the polarity of charge on the rod must be positive, i.e., is positive.

Given:

In order to balloon to be float in air, the weight of the balloom must be balanced with the electrostatic force on the balloon due to rod.

Weight of the balloon,

The magnitude of the electrostatic force on the balloon due to the rod is given by

is the Coulomb's constant.

For the elecric force and the weight to be balanced,

absorption lines are where light has been absorbed by the atom thus you see a dip in the spectrum whereas.

emission spectra have spikes in the spectra due to atoms releasing photons at those wavelengths.

explanation:

the electric field is a “force field” around a charged object that illustrates the direction the electric force would push an imaginary
