Several years from now you have graduated with an engineering/physics degree from OSU and have been hired by a nanoengineering f
irm as an intern. You have been assigned to work under a top engineer from the company. Their current project is to design a microscopic oscillator as a time keeping device. The engineering design involves placing a negative charge at the center of a very small positively charged metal ring. Your boss claims that the negative charge will undergo simple harmonic motion of displaced away from the center of the ring. Furthermore, they claim they can change the period (timing) of oscillation by adjusting the amount of charge on the ring. The first task they give you is to check the validity of their design.Consider a charge −???? located a small distance z above the center of a positively charged ring with total charge +Q and radius R. Write an expression for the net force exerted on the charge −???? due to the ring of charge. What is the magnitude of the force on the charge −???? if it is at the location z = 0?

Answer:
10.347 minutes.
Explanation:
According to F = ma, she exerts force on camera of the magnitude
F = 0.67Kg*12m/ = 8.04N, assuming it took her one second to accelerate camera to 12m/s, then by newtons third law, which says every action has equal and opposite reaction , the camera exerts the same amount of force on the astronaut which gives her acceleration of a =
.
and velocity of V = 0.1130801680m/s.
at this velocity , the astronaut has to cover the distance of 70.2 meters, it will take her 620.7985075s = 10.347 min to get to the shuttle (using S = vt).
