Two stationary positive point charges, charge 1 of magnitude 3.10 nC and charge 2 of magnitude 1.80 nC , are separated by a distance of 42.0 cm . An electron is released from rest at the point midway between the two charges, and it moves along the line connecting the two charges. What is the speed vfinal of the electron when it is 10.0 cm from charge 1?

A box of mass sits on the floor of an elevator. The area of the bottom surface of the box is 0.250 m2. When the elevator is moving upward at a constant speed of 2.00 m/s the pressure the box exerts on the floor is 981 pascal. (Note: One Pascal equals one Newton per square meter; 1 Pa = 1 N/m2). Calculate the pressure the box exerts on the floor while the elevator a. slows uniformly from an upward speed of 2.00 m/s to zero in 3.00 seconds. b. accelerates uniformly from rest to a downward speed of 2.00 m/s in 3.00 seconds. c. slows uniformly from a downward speed of 2.00 m/s to zero in 3.00 seconds. d. is moving downward at a constant speed of 2.00 m/s e. accelerates uniformly from rest to an upward speed of 2.00 m/s in 3.00 seconds f. is at rest.

A charge of -2.75 µC is fixed at the center of a compass. Two additional charges are fixed on the circle of the compass, which has a radius of 0.092 m. The charges on the circle are -4.3 µC at the position due north and +5.25 µC at the position due east. What are the magnitude and direction of the net electrostatic force acting on the charge at the center? Specify the direction relative to due east.

a property company who will also operate the building is deciding whether to build a standard efficiency office building or a high efficiency office building. The office building is 8,000 m2 and its energy is supplied 100% by electricity. The standard efficiency office tower will consume approximately 140 kWh / m2 /y. The high efficiency office tower will consume approximately 100 kWh / m2 /y. The incremental cost (i.e. the cost between the standard efficiency and high efficiency office tower) is $40 per m2 and the building systems are expected to last 25 years. 8a. What is the estimated annual energy cost savings per year for the high efficiency building compared to the standard efficiency building? o 8b. Does it make sense for the property company to invest in the high efficiency office building?
