How much time after will two oppositely charged particles collide for both gravitational force and electrostatic force?
Suppose two point objects charged with opposite charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ at a distance $r$ in a vaccum.
So, the net electrostatic force on both objects $= F_c = \frac {q_1q_2}{4π\epsilon_0r²}$ [$\...

Virial theorem for two particle inelastic collision
Consider two point masses separated by a large distance R so that their initial potential energy can be considered 0. They are both at rest with respect to the Centre of Mass (COM) reference frame so ...

Will the bouncing particle exert greater force on the surface?
Imagine elastic collision and no energy is lost from the system.
A particle is emitted from the bottom of a box. The box is in inertial motion. The particle hits the top of the box and travels in ...
