Answer:
Explanation:
Force between two charges of q₁ and q₂ at distance d is given by the expression
F = k q₁ q₂ / d₂
Here force between charge q₁ = - 15 x 10⁻⁹ C and q₃ = 47 x 10⁻⁹ C when distance between them d = (1.66 - 1.24 ) = .42 mm
k = 1/ 4π x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²
putting the values in the expression
F = 1/ 4π x 8.85 x 10⁻¹² x - 15 x 10⁻⁹ x 47 x 10⁻⁹ /( .42 x 10⁻³)²
= 9 x 10⁹ x - 15 x 10⁻⁹ x 47 x 10⁻⁹ /( .42 x 10⁻³)²
= 35969.4 x 10⁻³ N .
force between charge q₂ = 34.5 x 10⁻⁹ C and q₃ = 47 x 10⁻⁹ C when distance between them d = ( 1.24 - 0 ) = 1.24 mm .
putting the values in the expression
F = 1/ 4π x 8.85 x 10⁻¹² x 34.5 x 10⁻⁹ x 47 x 10⁻⁹ /( .42 x 10⁻³)²
= 9 x 10⁹ x - 34.5 x 10⁻⁹ x 47 x 10⁻⁹ /( .42 x 10⁻³)²
= 82729.6 x 10⁻³ N
Both these forces will act in the same direction towards the left (away from the origin towards - ve x axis)
Total force = 118699 x 10⁻³
= 118.7 N.
B. It contains more matter
The moon completes its orbit around the Earth in 27.32 days (rounded).
That's NOT the length of the cycle of the moon's phases. The time from
any phase until the next appearance of the same phase is 29.53 days.
