Rank the six combinations of electric charges on the basis of the electric force acting on q1. Define forces pointing to the rig

ht as positive and forces pointing to the left as negative. Rank in increasing order by placing the most negative on the left and the most positive on the right. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.

I have attached the image showing the 6 combination of charges

Answer:

Smallest are: q1 = +1 nc, q2 = +1 nc, q3 = +1 nc and q1 = -1 nc, q2 = -1 nc, q3 = -1nc

Third Largest: q1 = +1 nc, q2 = +1nc, q3 = -1 nc

Second Largest: q1 = +1 nc, q2 = -1 nc, q3 = +1 nc

Largest are: q1 = +1 nc, q2 = -1 nc, q3 = -1 nc and q1 = -1 nc, q2 = +1 nc, q3 = +1 nc

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between 2 charges is; F = k•q1•q2/r²

Where r is the distance between the 2 charges q1 and q2 and k is coulombs constant.

Thus;

F ∝ q1•q2/r²

The net force on the charge q1 is the sum of the forces on charge q2 and q3.

If the two charges are opposite, the force is an attractive force while if the two charges are similar, the force is a repulsive force.

Thus, if the combination has same type of charges, i.e;(+1,+1,+1) or (-1,-1,-1), the force will be very small.

So, now the order of forces from smallest to largest is;

Smallest are: q1 = +1 nc, q2 = +1 nc, q3 = +1 nc and q1 = -1 nc, q2 = -1 nc, q3 = -1nc

Third Largest: q1 = +1 nc, q2 = +1nc, q3 = -1 nc

Second Largest: q1 = +1 nc, q2 = -1 nc, q3 = +1 nc

Largest are: q1 = +1 nc, q2 = -1 nc, q3 = -1 nc and q1 = -1 nc, q2 = +1 nc, q3 = +1 nc

Two balls are rolling using the same force. Which law explains why the bowling ball will roll a shorter distance than a soccer b
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

newton's 2nd  law

Explanation:

In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.

If you wanted to produce more power,what could you do to maximize power
PSYCHO15rus [73]

In physics, power is defined as energy per unit time.  You will also hear it described as work per unit time.  The standard unit of measure for power is the watt, where a watt is defined as joules (energy) per second (time).  This is expressed as a fraction as J/s.  If you wanted to increase the power in any operation, you can either increase the energy (more joules) or reduce the time (fewer seconds).

8. The mediator particle for gravitational force is on
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Gravitone

Explanation:

In theories of quantum gravity, the graviton is the hypothetical quantum of gravity, an elementary particle that mediates the force of gravity. There is no complete quantum field theory of gravitons due to an outstanding mathematical problem with renormalization in general relativity.

Which describes acceleration involving only a change in direction?
Viefleur [7K]
If we consider any system moving with u<span>niform circular motion we can notice that the MAGNITUDE of the accelaration remains constant. However,  there is a change in the direction of the acceleration at every instant of time .

 As the object moves through the circle the acceleration changes its direction always pointing to the center of the circle.</span>
