Answer:
F = 7.68 10¹¹ N, θ = 45º
Explanation:
In this exercise we ask for the net electric force. Let's start by writing the configuration of the charges, the charges of the same sign must be on the diagonal of the cube so that the net force is directed towards the interior of the cube, see in the attached numbering and sign of the charges
The net force is
F_ {net} = F₂₁ + F₂₃ + F₂₄
bold letters indicate vectors. The easiest method to solve this exercise is by using the components of each force.
let's use trigonometry
cos 45 = F₂₄ₓ / F₂₄
sin 45 = F_{24y) / F₂₄
F₂₄ₓ = F₂₄ cos 45
F_{24y} = F₂₄ sin 45
let's do the sum on each axis
X axis
Fₓ = -F₂₁ + F₂₄ₓ
Fₓ = -F₂₁₁ + F₂₄ cos 45
Y axis
F_y = - F₂₃ + F_{24y}
F_y = -F₂₃ + F₂₄ sin 45
They indicate that the magnitude of all charges is the same, therefore
F₂₁ = F₂₃
Let's use Coulomb's law
F₂₁ = k q₁ q₂ / r₁₂²
the distance between the two charges is
r = a
F₂₁ = k q² / a²
we calculate F₂₄
F₂₄ = k q₂ q₄ / r₂₄²
the distance is
r² = a² + a²
r² = 2 a²
we substitute
F₂₄ = k q² / 2 a²
we substitute in the components of the forces
Fx =
Fx = ( -1 + ½ cos 45)
F_y = k \frac{q^2}{a^2} ( -1 + ½ sin 45)
We calculate
F₀ = 9 10⁹ 4.25² / 0.440²
F₀ = 8.40 10¹¹ N
Fₓ = 8.40 10¹¹ (½ 0.707 - 1)
Fₓ = -5.43 10¹¹ N
remember cos 45 = sin 45
F_y = - 5.43 10¹¹ N
We can give the resultant force in two ways
a) F = Fₓ î + F_y ^j
F = -5.43 10¹¹ (i + j) N
b) In the form of module and angle.
For the module we use the Pythagorean theorem
F =
F = 5.43 10¹¹ √2
F = 7.68 10¹¹ N
in angle is
θ = 45º
Answer:
Strong nuclear force is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force
Explanation:
There are mainly two forces acting between protons and neutrons in the nucleus:
- The electrostatic force, which is the force exerted between charged particles (therefore, it is exerted between protons only, since neutrons are not charged). The magnitude of the force is given by
where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the charges of the two particles, r is the separation between the particles.
The force is attractive for two opposite charges and repulsive for two same charges: therefore, the electrostatic force between two protons is repulsive.
- The strong nuclear force, which is the force exerted between nucleons. At short distance (such as in the nucleus), it is attractive, therefore neutrons and protons attract each other and this contributes in keeping the whole nucleus together.
At the scale involved in the nucleus, the strong nuclear force (attractive) is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force (repulsive), therefore the nucleus stays together and does not break apart.
