Asolid cylinder and a cylindrical shell have the same mass, same radius, and turn on frictionless, horizontal axles. the cylindrical shell has light-weight spokes connecting the shell to the axle. a rope is wrapped around each cylinder and tied to blocks of equal masses that are held the same height above the ground. both blocks are released simultaneously. the ropes do not slip. which block hits the ground first? or is it a tie?

Athird point charge q3 is now positioned halfway between q1 and q2. the net force on q2 now has a magnitude of f2,net = 5.861 n and points away from q1 and q3. what is the value (sign and magnitude) of the charge q3?

Wich factors affect the electrical force between two objects?
