The electric field generated by a point charge is given by:
E= k_e \frac{Q}{r^2}
where
k_e = 8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant
Q is the charge
r is the distance from the charge

We want to know the net electric field at the midpoint between the two charges, so at a distance of r=5.0 cm=0.05 m from each of them. 

Let's calculate first the electric field generated by the positive charge at that point:
E_1=k_e  \frac{Q_1}{r^2}=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2}) \frac{(2.0 \cdot 10^{-6} C)}{(0.05 m)^2} =+7.19 \cdot 10^6 N/C
where the positive sign means its direction is away from the charge.

while the electric field generated by the negative charge is:
E_2=k_e \frac{Q_1}{r^2}=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2}) \frac{(-2.0 \cdot 10^{-6} C)}{(0.05 m)^2} =-7.19 \cdot 10^6 N/C
where the negative sign means its direction is toward the charge.

If we assume that the positive charge is on the left and the negative charge is on the right, we see that E1 is directed to the right, and E2 is directed to the right as well. This means that the net electric field at the midpoint between the two charges is just the sum of the two fields:
E_{tot} =E_1 + E_2 = 7.19 \cdot 10^6 N/C+7.19 \cdot 10^6 N/C=1.44 \cdot 10^7 N/C

If a 1.00 kg body has an acceleration of 2.44 m/s2 at 53° to the positive direction of the x axis, then what are (a) the x comp
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

(a) Fx = 1.464 N

(b) Fy = 1.952 N

(c) F(x, y) = 1.464 i + 1.952 j

Given

Mass = 1kg

Acceleration = 2.44 m/s2

Angle with positive X axis = 53°

As we know

F = ma

By substituting value

F= 1×2.44 N

F= 2.44 N

(a)   Component of force in X direction

Fx = F Cosθ

Fx = 2.44 Cos(53°)

Fx = 2.44 × 0.60 = 1.464 N

(b) Component of force in Y direction

Fy = F Sinθ

Fy = 2.44 Sin(53°) = 2.44 × 0.80 = 1.952 N

(c) Net force in vector notation

F(x, y) = 1.464 i + 1.952 j

Thus we got net force.

A small apple weighs 0.8N. How much would an apple that is 4 times as massive weigh?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

W=31.99 N

Explanation:

W= 8 N (N= kg*m/ s^2)

W= m* g

8 N= m * 9.8 m/s^2

m= 0.816 kg

m*4= (0.816)4

= 3.264 kg

W= mg

= (3.264 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)

W=31.99 N
