The figure below shows two identical small, charged spheres. One of mass 3.7 g is hanging by an insulating thread of length 20.0 cm. The other is held in place and has charge q1 = −5.3 µC.
The thread makes an angle of 18° with the vertical, resulting in the spheres being aligned horizontally, a distance r apart. Determine the charge q2 on the hanging sphere.

Polly is pushing a box across the floor with a force of 30 n. the force of gravity is –8 n, and the normal force is 8 n. which value could describe the force of friction if polly could not move the box?

Abasketball star covers 2.65 m horizontally in a jump to dunk the ball. his motion through space can be modeled precisely as that of a particle at his center of mass. his center of mass is at elevation 1.02 m when he leaves the floor. it reaches a maximum height of 1.90 m above the floor and is at elevation 0.910 m when he touches down again. (a) determine his time of flight (his "hang time"). (b) determine his horizontal velocity at the instant of takeoff. (c) determine his vertical velocity at the instant of takeoff. (d) determine his takeoff angle. (e) for comparison, determine the hang time of a whitetail deer making a jump with center-of-mass elevations yi = 1.20 m, ymax = 2.45 m, and yf = 0.750 m.

The stopwatch used by a student to measure velocity of a pulse in a slinky was of least count 0.1 second. he stops the stopwatch when a pulse has made 3 journeys from one end to the other of the slinky. he finds the seconds hand to be at 52nd division. calculate the correct time noted by him.
