Consider a gravity free container as shown. System is initially at rest and electric potential in the regon is $V = (y^3+2)\  J/C$. A ball of charge $q$ and mass $m$ is released from rest from base starts to move up due to electric field and collides with the shaded face as shown.If its speed just after collision is $1.5\  m/s$ and time for which ball is in contact with shaded face is $0.1\ sec$, find external force required to hold the container fixed in its position during collision assuming ball exerts constant force on wall during entire span of collision.......$N$

The potential (in volts ) of a charge distribution is given by

$V(z)\, = \,30 - 5{z^2}for\,\left| z \right| \le 1\,m$

$V(z)\, = \,35 - 10\,\left| z \right|for\,\left| z \right| \ge 1\,m$

$V(z)$  does not depend on $x$  and  $y.$  If this potential is generated by a constant charge per unit volume $\rho _0$ (in units of $\varepsilon _0$ ) which is spread over a certain region, then choose the correct statement
