Small charged spheres are arranged as follows:

Description	Magnitude of Charge	x (cm)	y (cm)
Plastic sphere that was rubbed with wool	4.1 nC	2.7	0
Glass sphere that was rubbed with silk	3.4 nC	-1.1	1.1

Determine the signs of the charged spheres. Explain.
Determine the net electric field (magnitude and direction) at the origin.
Using your result from part b, determine the net electric force (magnitude and direction) on a proton initially placed at rest at the origin. If you don't use your result from part b, then you will not get any credit whatsoever on this part.
Determine the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the proton (you may ignore gravity).
Could you use the constant-acceleration kinematics equations to predict the subsequent motion of the proton? Explain.

There are two identical, positively charged conducting spheres fixed in space. The spheres are 43.0 cm apart (center to center) and repel each other with an electrostatic force of F1 = 0.0675 N. Then, a thin conducting wire connects the spheres, redistributing the charge on each sphere. When the wire is removed the spheres still repel but with a force of F2 = 0.100 N. Using this information, find the initial charge on each sphere, q1 and q2 if initially...
