Suppose we suspend a negatively charged ball like a pendulum inside a hollow but completely enclosing metal box. Assume that the ball hangs a few inches from the box’s left vertical face. Imagine that we now bring a very strong positively charged object to a point just to the left of the box’s left face, so that it is only a few inches away from the suspended ball (though the box’s left face is between them). The ball will be deflected
A. strongly toward the external object.
B. strongly away from the external object.
C. weakly toward the external object.
D. weakly away from the external object.
E. not the least little bit.

A railroad freight car, mass 15,000 kg, is allowed to coast along a level track at a speed of 2.0 m/s. It collides and couples with a 60,000-kg loaded second car, initially at rest and with brakes released. What percentage of the initial kinetic energy of the 15,000-kg car is preserved in the two-coupled cars after collision?
a. 20% c. 86% b. 23% d. 100%
