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

Answer:

See below ~

Explanation:

An object will sink in water when its density is greater than that of water, which is 1 g/cm³.

Volume of the box is <u>1331 cm³</u>. (11³)

Maximum mass of sand will be 1331 g. [because 1331/1331 = 1 g/cm³]

  • Volume of sand = Mass of sand / Density of sand
  • Volume (sand) = 1331/3.5
  • Volume (sand) = 380.29 cm³

If the volume of sand is <u>greater than 380.29 cm³</u>, the box will sink in water.

In a ballistics test, a 52g bullet hits a sand bag and stops after moving 1.34 m. If the initial bullat
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Friction force on the bullet is 58.7 N opposite to its velocity

Explanation:

As we know that initial speed of the bullet is 55 m/s

after travelling into the sand bag by distance d = 1.34 m it comes to rest

so final speed

v_f = 0

now we can use kinematics top find the acceleration of the bullet

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

so we have

0 - 55^2 = 2(a)(1.34)

a = -1128.7 m/s^2

now by Newton's II law we know that

F = ma

so we have

F = (0.052)(-1128.7)

F = -58.7 N

A car has an acceleration of 1.5 m/s2. A net force of 2100 N is acting on the car. What is the mass of the car?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Given

acceleration (a) =1.5ms2

Force(F) =2100N

R. t. c mass (m) =?

Form

F=ma(divided by m both sides)

m=F/a

m=2100/105

m=1400kg

mass of car =1400kg
