A positive charge is fixed at point (−4,−3) and a negative charge − is fixed at point (−4,0). Determine the net electric force ⃗

net acting on a positive test charge + at the origin (0,0) in terms of the given quantities and physical constants, including the permittivity of free space 0. Express the force using unit vector notation. Enter precise fractions rather than entering their approximate numerical values.

The net electric force acting on a positive test charge at the origin is determined as ¹/₉(kq₁q₂).

<h3>Net electric force on the charges</h3>

The net electric force on the charges is calculated as follows;

F = kq₁q₂/r²

where;

k is coulomb's constant
q₁ and q₂ are the charges
r is the distance between the charges

<h3>Distance between the charges</h3>

$|r| = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+ (y_2-y_1)^2} \\\\|r| = \sqrt{(-4--4)^2+ (0--3)^2} \\\\|r| = \sqrt{(0)^2 + (3)^2} \\\\|r| = 3 \ units$

$F_{net} = \frac{kq_1q_2}{3^2} \\\\F_{net} = \frac{1}{9} (kq_1q_2) , \ N$

Thus, the net electric force acting on a positive test charge at the origin is determined as ¹/₉(kq₁q₂).

MArishka [77]

Answer:

solar wind

Explanation:

the sun's atmosphere is made of hydrogen which itself made subatomic particle. These particle are constantly boiling off the sun and streaming outward at very speed. So, the sun's magnetic field and particles are called solar wind.

A long, straight, horizontal wire carries current toward the east. A proton moves toward the east alongside and just south of th

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

north direction.

Explanation:

The wire carries a current towards the east . The magnetic field will make circular path around the wire in clockwise direction so at a point just south of wire , magnetic field will be into the plane of paper containing wire. If we take east as x -axes , north as y axes then out of plane will form z axes. Hence direction of magnetic field will be - z direction .

Magnetic field can be represented as - B k

Proton is moving towards east ie in + x direction so it can be represented as follows

velocity = V i

Force F = q( V i x -B k)

= ( BqV) j or + ve j direction or along north direction

So direction of force will be along north direction.

How much work is done to lift a 3N box to a shelf 2m above the ground

Kaylis [27]

When the box IS on the shelf 2m above the ground,
its potential energy is

(weight) x (height) = (3 N) x (2 m) = 6 joules .

THAT's the work you have to do, to lift the box up to there.

A raindrop of mass 0.5 * 10^-4 kg is falling verctically under the influence of gravity. The air drag on the raindrop is fdrag =

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

The displacement of the air drop after 3 second is 18.27 m.

Explanation:

Mass of the rain drop = m = $0.5\times 10^{-4} kg$

Weight of the rain drop = W

Duration of time = t = 3 seconds

$W=m\times g$

Drag force on rain drop = $D=0.2\times 10^{-5} v^2$

$W=0.5\times 10^{-4} kg\time 10 m/s^2=0.5\times 10^{-3} N$

Motion of the rain drop:

$F=m\times a$

Net force on the rain drop , F= W - D

$W-D=m\times a$

$0.5\times 10^{-3} N-0.2\times 10^{-5} v^2=0.5\times 10^{-4} kg\times a$

$0.5\times 10^{-3} kg m/s^2-0.2\times 10^{-5} v^2=0.5\times 10^{-4} kg\times \frac{v}{t}$

$0.006v^2+0.05v-1.5=0$

v = 12.18 m/s

Initial velocity of the rain drop = u = 0 (since, it is starting from rest)

v=u+at (First equation of motion)

$12.18 m/s=0m/s+a\times 3 s$

$a=4.06 m/s^2$

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$ (second equation of motion)

$s=0\times 3s+\frac{1}{2}\times 4.06m/s^2\times (3 s)^2$

s = 18.27 m

The displacement of the air drop after 3 second is 18.27 m.
