If I hold a positive charge in my hand and there are positive charges of equal magnitude 1 mm to your north and 1 mm to your east then the direction of the force on the charge I am holding is towards the north-east direction.

Reasoning:

It is given that there is a positive charge in my hand. There are two more positive charges with the same magnitude. One is 1 mm far towards the east, and the other one is 1 mm far towards the north. It is required to find the direction of the force acting on the charge in my hand.

Let the magnitude of the charge in my hand is Q, and the magnitude of the other charges is q.

Thus the electric force applied on the charge in my hand due to each other is,

F=\frac{kQq}{r^2}

Here k is the Coulomb constant, and r is the distance between the charges.

It is also known that the force on a positive charge due to another positive charge is acted outwards.

Thus, the force on the charge due to the charge on the east is,

\vec{F_1}=\frac{kQq}{( 10^{-3}\text{ m})^2}\hat{i}

And the force on the charge due to the charge on the north is,

\vec{F_2}=\frac{kQq}{( 10^{-3}\text{ m})^2}\hat{j}

As the forces are equal in magnitude and one is perpendicular to the other, thus the net force will be acted at an angle of 45^\circ from the north or from the north direction.

Thus the net force is acting in the north-east direction.

A 81 kg block is released at a 3.8 m height. the track is frictionless. the block travels down the track, hits a massless spring
Alenkinab [10]
Since the track is friction less, block’s kinetic energy at the bottom of the track is equal to its potential energy at the top of the track. 
PE = 81 * 9.8 * 3.8 = 3016.44 J
 Work = 1/2 * 1888 * d^2  
PE = Kinetic energy at the base.
 1/2 * 1888 * d^2 = 3016.44
 d = 1.78 approx 1.8
 F = Ke = 1888 * 1.8 = 3398.4N

A 2000 kg roller coaster is at the top of a loop with a radius of 24 m. If its speed is 18 m/s at this point, what force does it
levacccp [35]

Answer:

46620\ \text{N}

Explanation:

m = Mass of roller coaster = 2000 kg

r = Radius of loop = 24 m

v = Velocity of roller coaster = 18 m/s

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

Normal force at the point will be

N-mg=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow N=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}+mg\\\Rightarrow N=\dfrac{2000\times 18^2}{24}+2000\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow N=46620\ \text{N}

The force exerted on the track is 46620\ \text{N}.

Two square air-filled parallel plates that are initially uncharged are separated by 1.2 mm, and each of them has an area of 190
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

5.5\cdot 10^{-11} C

Explanation:

The capacitance of the parallel-plate capacitor is given by:

C=\epsilon_0 \frac{A}{d}

where

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m is the vacuum permittivity

A=190 mm^2 = 190 \cdot 10^{-6} m^2 is the area of the plates

d=1.2 mm = 0.0012 m is the separation between the plates

Substituting,

C=(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}) \frac{190 \cdot 10^{-6}}{0.0012}=1.4\cdot 10^{-12}F

The energy stored in the capacitor is given by

U=\frac{Q^2}{2C}

Since we know the energy

U=1.1 nJ = 1.1 \cdot 10^{-9} J

we can re-arrange the formula to find the charge, Q:

Q=\sqrt{2UC}=\sqrt{2(1.1\cdot 10^{-9} J)(1.4\cdot 10^{-12}F )}=5.5\cdot 10^{-11} C
