Q1. An alpha particle (m = 6.7 ´ 10-27 kg, q = +3.2 ´ 10-19 C) has a speed of 20 km/s at point A and moves to point B where it momentarily stops. Only electric forces act on the particle during this motion. Determine the electric potential difference VA - VB.
Q2. A spring with spring constant 12.5 hangs from the ceiling. A 400 ball is attached to the spring and allowed to come to rest. It is then pulled down 6.80 and released. What is the time constant if the ball's amplitude has decreased to 3.90 after 57.0 oscillations?
