Consider two point charges located on the x axis: one charge, q1 = -11.5nC , is located at x1 = -1.685m ;the second charge, q2 =

40.0nC , is at the origin (x=0.0000).
What is the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 55.0nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.195m ?

Your answer may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force.

Answer:

F_{t3}=-3.76\ 10^{-5}\ N

The net force is pointed to the left side

Explanation:

Electrostatic Force

The formula to compute the electrostatic force between two point charges was introduced by Charles Coulomb and it's expressed as

\displaystyle F=\frac{k\ q_1\ q_2}{r^2}

Where q1 and q2 are the magnitudes of the charges, r is the distance between them and k is a proportionality constant

The data provided in the problem is

\displaystyle x_1=-1,685\ m

\displaystyle q_1=-11.5\ nC

\displaystyle q_2=40\ nC

\displaystyle q_3=55\ nC

\displaystyle x_3=-1.195\ m

The distance between the charge 1 and 3 is

\displaystyle d_{13}=1.685-1.195

\displaystyle d_{13}=0.49\ m

The distance between charges 2 and 3 is

\displaystyle d_{23}=1.195\ m

Now, let's compute the force exerted by q1 on q3

\displaystyle F_{13}=\frac{k\ q_1\ q_3}{d_{13}^2}

\displaystyle F_{13}=\frac{9\ 10^9\ 11.5\ 10^{-9}\ 55\ 10^{-9}}{0.49^2}

\displaystyle F_{13}=2.37\ 10^{-5}\ N

This value is the scalar magnitude of the force, we'll take care of the directions later. The force by q2 on q3 is

\displaystyle F_{23}=\frac{k\ q_2\ q_3}{d_{23}^2}

\displaystyle F_{23}=\frac{9\ 10^{9}\ 40\ 10^{-9}\ 55\ 10^{-9}}{1.195^2}

\displaystyle F_{23}=1.39\ 10^{-5}\ N

Given that q1 is negative and q3 is positive, q1 attracts q3 to the left, so F13 is in the negative direction. The charge q2 is positive and repels q3 to the left, thus F23 is also negative. This leads us to compute the total force on q3 as

\displaystyle F_{t3}=-F_{13}-F_{23}

\boxed{F_{t3}=-3.76\ 10^{-5}\ N}

The net force is pointed to the left side

The top pair of pliers failed to loosen a stubborn bolt, but the bottom pair successfully removed it.
Lesechka [4]

The top pair of pliers failed to loosen a stubborn bolt, but the bottom pair successfully removed it. Because the contact between the bolt and the   pliers working surface is less.

<h3>What is mechanical advantage ?</h3>

Mechanical advantage is a measure of the ratio of output force to input force in a system, it is used to obtained efficiency of the given mechanical machine.

The efficiency to open the stubborn bolt depends upon the contact between the working surface of the pliers and the bolt.

The contact between the bolt and the top pair of pliers working surface is less. Its mechanical advantage is less.

Hence, the top pair of pliers failed to loosen a stubborn bolt, but the bottom pair successfully removed it.

To learn more about the mechanical advantage, refer to the link;

n outer space, a constant net force with a magnitude of 140 N is exerted on a 32.5 kg probe initially at rest. A) What accelerat
musickatia [10]

Answer:

a) 4.31 m/s²

b) 215.5 m

Explanation:

a) According to Newton's first law of motion

The net force applied to particular mass produced acceleration, a, according to

F = ma

F = 140 N

m = 32.5 kg

a = ?

140 = 32.5 × a

a = 140/32.5 = 4.31 m/s²

b) Using the equations of motion, we can obtain the distance travelled by the object in t = 10 s

u = initial velocity of the probe = 0 m/s (since it was initially at rest)

a = 4.31 m/s²

t = 10 s

s = distance travelled = ?

s = ut + at²/2

s = 0 + (4.31×10²)/2 = 215.5 m

A 2,000 kg car is parked at the top of a 30 m high hill. what is its potential energy?
Phoenix [80]
The PE for this question will be 588,000 because we take the mass (2,000 kg), multiply it by 9.8 which is Gravitational Acceleration and then multiply that by the height (30 meters)
