Three equal positive charges 'q' are at the corners of an equilateral triangle of side 'a'.

Physics
1 answer:
NARA [144]1 year ago
5 0

(a) The location of a point where the electric field is zero is at the center of the triangle which is equal to ¹/₆√3a.

(b) The magnitude and direction of the electric field at the top corner due to the two charges at the base is  1.732 kq/a².

<h3>Position where the electric field is zero</h3>

The electric field is zero at the center of the equilateral triangle whose magnitude is equal to √3a/6.

<h3>Electric field at top corner due to two charges at the base</h3>

E = E₁ + E₂

where;

  • E₁ is electric field at the left base corner
  • E₂ is electric field at the right base corner

E = kq/a²[(cos 60i + sin 60j) + (-cos 60i + sin 60j)]

E = kq/a²[2(sin 60j)] = 1.732 kq/a²

Thus, the location of a point where the electric field is zero is at the center of the triangle which is equal to ¹/₆√3a.

The magnitude and direction of the electric field at the top corner due to the two charges at the base is  1.732 kq/a².

Can someone help me?
Cloud [144]

What do we know that might help here ?

-- Temperature of a gas is actually the average kinetic energy of its molecules.

-- When something moves faster, its kinetic energy increases.

Knowing just these little factoids, we realize that as a gas gets hotter, the average speed of its molecules increases.

That's exactly what Graph #1 shows.

How about the other graphs ?

-- Graph #3 says that as the temperature goes up, the molecules' speed DEcreases.  That can't be right.

-- Graph #4 says that as the temperature goes up, the molecules' speed doesn't change at all.  That can't be right.

-- Graph #2 says that after the gas reaches some temperature and you heat it hotter than that, the speed of the molecules starts going DOWN.  That can't be right.

car traveling on a flat (unbanked), circular track accelerates uniformly from rest with a tangential acceleration of a. The car
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

0.572

Explanation:

First examine the force of friction at the slipping point where Ff = µsFN = µsmg.

the mass of the car is unknown,

The only force on the car that is not completely in the vertical direction is friction, so let us consider the sums of forces in the tangential and centerward directions.

First the tangential direction

∑Ft =Fft =mat

And then in the centerward direction ∑Fc =Ffc =mac =mv²t/r

Going back to our constant acceleration equations we see that v²t = v²ti +2at∆x = 2at πr/2

So going backwards and plugging in Ffc =m2atπr/ 2r =πmat

Ff = √(F2ft +F2fc)= matp √(1+π²)

µs = Ff /mg = at /g √(1+π²)=

1.70m/s/2 9.80 m/s² x√(1+π²)= 0.572
