The magnitude of the net force that the rods exert after an electron is released at point P is 2.885 × 10⁻¹⁵ N.

Given values:

Length of non-conducting rod, l = 1.20 m

Charge on positive rod, +Q = +2.50 μC = +2.50 × 10⁻⁶ C

Charge on negative rod, -Q = -2.50 μC = -2.50 × 10⁻⁶ C

Distance from point P of each rod, x = 60 cm = 0.60 m

Calculation of Net electric force exerted on point P:

Consider an electron released at point P, then the net electric force exerted will be given as:

F = e. E_net       - ( 1 )

Step 1:

The net electric field value is given as:

E_net  = E₁ cos Φ + E₂ cos Φ      

           = 2E₁ cos Φ                  -( 2 )

where, E₁ & E₂ are electric fields due to positive and negative rod                

            respectively.

            Φ is phase angle

Step 2:

The electric field due to positive rod is given as:

E₁ = k (λ/r)             - ( 3 )

where, k is Coulomb's force constant

            λ is linear charge density

            r is distance between point P and half of the rod.

Now, the linear charge density is given as:

λ = Charge/length = Q/x

The value of r is given as:

r = √x²-a²

where, x is length of rod

           a is half length of rod

Applying values in above equation, we get:

r = √x²-(x/2)²

r = √(1.20 m)²-(1.20/2)²

  = √1.08

  = 1.04 m

Substituting all the determined values in equation 3 we get:

E₁ = k (λ/r)

   = k [(Q/x)/r]

   = k [ Q/xr ]

   = (9×10⁹ Nm²/C²) [ |+2.50×10⁻⁶ C|/(1.20 m)(1.04 m)]

   = 1.803×10⁴ N/C

Step 3:

Similarly, the electric field due to negative rod is given as:    

E₂ = k [ Q/xr ]

    = (9×10⁹ Nm²/C²) [ |-2.50×10⁻⁶ C|/(1.20 m)(1.04 m)]

    = 1.803×10⁴ N/C

Step 4:

Consider equation 2:

E_net  = 2E₁ cos Φ

From the figure we get the phase angle as:

Φ = tan⁻¹ (0.60 m/0.60 m)

   = tan⁻¹ ( 1 )

   = π/4  

Now, the electric field produced due to each rod is equal and mutually perpendicular. Thus, the net electric field after applying values can be calculated as:

E_net = 2(1.803×10⁴ N/C) cos π/4

          = 2(1.803×10⁴ N/C) (0.5)

          = 18030 N/C

Step 5:

Consider equation 1 :

F = e. E_net

where, e is charge on an electron

Applying values in above equation we get:

F = (1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C)(18030 N/C)

  = 2.885 × 10⁻¹⁵ N

Therefore, the magnitude of the net force that the rods exert after an electron is released at point P is  2.885 × 10⁻¹⁵ N.

How might you describe the mathematical procedure of finding the displacement when an object travels in two opposite directions?
levacccp [35]
Displacement is a vector quantity. So, you incorporate the vector calculations when you try to determine the resultant vector. This is the shortest path from the starting point to the endpoint. If they are moving on one axis only, you use sign conventions. For motions moving to the left, use the negative sign. If it's moving to the right, then use the positive sign. Now, it the object moves 2 km to the left, and 2 km also to the right, the displacement is zero.

Displacement = 2 km - 2km = 0

Generally, the equation is:
<span>Displacement = Distance of motion to the right - Distance of motion to the left</span>

A race car travels 44.3 m/s around a banked (45° with the horizontal) circular (radius = 200 m) track. What is the magnitude of
djverab [1.8K]

The magnitude of the resultant force is given by the centripetal force, since the car is under a circular motion. So, we have:

F_c=ma_c

The centripetal acceleration is given by:

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

Where v is the linear speed and r the radius of the circular motion. Replacing this and solving:

F=m\frac{v^2}{r}\\F=80kg\frac{(44.3\frac{m}{s})^2}{200m}\\F=785N*\frac{1kN}{1000N}\\F=0.785kN

There is a seasaw that's holding two men. The seesaw has a length of 18m that can pivot from a point at its center. Man 1 has a
Alex

Answer:

Distance=  2.3864m

Explanation:

So that the balance is in equilibrium parallel to the floor, we must match the moment each man makes with respect to the pivot point.

In many cases the point of application of force does not coincide with the point of application in the body. In this case the force acts on the object and its structure at a certain distance, by means of an element that transfers that action of this force to the object.

This combination of force applied by the distance to the point of the structure where it is applied is called the moment of force F with respect to the point. The moment will attempt a rotation shift or rotation of the object. The distance from the force to the point of application is called the arm.

Mathematically it is calculated by expression:

M= F×d

The moment caused by the first man is:

M1= 75kg × (9.81m/s²) × 1.75m= 1287.5625 N×m

The moment caused by the second man must be equal to that caused by the first by which:

M2= 1287.5625 N×m= 55kg × (9.81m/s²) × distance ⇒

⇒distance= (1287.5625 N×m)/( (55kg × (9.81m/s²) )= 2.3864m

At this distance from the pivot point, the second should sit down so that the balance is balanced parallel to the ground.
