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.

Viewed through a spectroscope, the spectral profile of a yellow street lamp has a narrow line in the yellow region of the visibl
muminat

Answer:

discrete lines are observed by the spectroscope, the emission of the lamp is of the ATOMIC source

Explanation:

Bulbs can emit light in several ways:

* When the emission is carried out by the heating of its filament, the bulb is called incandescent, in general its spectrum is similar to that of a black body, this is a continuous spectrum with a maximum dependent on the fourth power of the temperature of the filament.

* The emission can be by atomic transitions, in this case there is a discrete spectrum formed by the spectral lines of the material that forms the gas of the lamp, in general for the yellow emission the most used materials are mercury and sodium or a mixture of they.

Consequently, as discrete lines are observed by the spectroscope, the emission of the lamp is of the ATOMIC type

To win the game, a placekicker must kick a football from a point 44 m (48.1184 yd) from the goal, and the ball must clear the cr
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The distance by the ball clear the crossbar is 1.15 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 44 m

Speed = 24 m/s

Angle = 31°

Height = 3.05 m

We need to calculate the horizontal velocity

Using formula of horizontal velocity

u_{x}=u\cos\theta

Put the value into the formula

u_{x}=24\cos(31)

u_{x}=20.5\ m/s

We need to calculate the vertical velocity

Using formula of vertical velocity

u_{y}=u\sin\theta

Put the value into the formula

u_{y}=24\sin(31)

u_{y}=12.3\ m/s

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

t=\dfrac{d}{u_{x}}

Put the value into the formula

t=\dfrac{44}{20.5}

t=2.1\ sec

We need to calculate the vertical height

Using equation of motion

h=u_{y}t+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Put the value into the formula

h=12.3\times2.1-\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times(2.1)^2

h=4.2\ m

We need to calculate the distance by the ball clear the crossbar

Using formula for vertical distance

d=h-3.05

Put the value of h

d=4.2-3.05

d=1.15\ m

Hence, The distance by the ball clear the crossbar is 1.15 m
