Two tiny particles having charges of +5.00 μC and +7.00 μC are placed along the x-axis. The +5.00-µC particle is at x = 0.00 cm,

and the other particle is at x = 100.00 cm. Where on the x-axis must a third charged particle be placed so that it does not experience any net electrostatic force due to the other two particles?

Answer:

The third charged particle must be placed at x = 0.458 m = 45.8 cm

Explanation:

To solve this problem we apply Coulomb's law:  

Two point charges (q₁, q₂) separated by a distance (d) exert a mutual force (F) whose magnitude is determined by the following formula:  

F = \frac{k*q_1*q_2}{d^2} Formula (1)  

F: Electric force in Newtons (N)

K : Coulomb constant in N*m²/C²

q₁, q₂: Charges in Coulombs (C)  

d: distance between the charges in meters (m)

Equivalence  

1μC= 10⁻⁶C

1m = 100 cm

Data

K = 8.99 * 10⁹ N*m²/C²

q₁ = +5.00 μC = +5.00 * 10⁻⁶ C

q₂= +7.00 μC = +7.00 * 10⁻⁶ C

d₁ = x (m)

d₂ = 1-x (m)

Problem development

Look at the attached graphic.

We assume a positive charge q₃ so F₁₃ and F₂₃ are repulsive forces and must be equal so that the net force is zero:

We use formula (1) to calculate the forces F₁₃ and F₂₃

F_{13} = \frac{k*q_1*q_3}{d_1^2}

F_{23} = \frac{k*q_2*q_3}{d_2^2}

F₁₃ = F₂₃

\frac{k*q_1*q_3}{d_1^2} = \frac{k*q_2*q_3}{d_2^2} We eliminate k and q₃ on both sides

\frac{q_1}{d_1^2}= \frac{q_2}{d_2^2}

\frac{q_1}{x^2}=\frac{q_2}{(1-x)^2}

\frac{5*10^{-6}}{x^2}=\frac{7*10^{-6}}{(1-x)^2} We eliminate 10⁻⁶ on both sides

(1-x)^2 = \frac{7}{5} x^2

1-2x+x^2=\frac{7}{5} x^2

5-10x+5x^2=7 x^2

2x^2+10x-5=0

We solve the quadratic equation:

x_1 = \frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} = \frac{-10+\sqrt{10^2-4*2*(-5)} }{2*2} = 0.458m

x_2 = \frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} = \frac{-10-\sqrt{10^2-4*2*(-5)} }{2*2} = -5.458m

In the option x₂, F₁₃ and F₂₃ will go in the same direction and will not be canceled, therefore we take x₁ as the correct option since at that point the forces are in  opposite way .

x = 0.458m = 45.8cm

Cars A and B are racing each other along the same straight road in the following manner: Car A has a head start and is a distanc
4vir4ik [10]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Cars A nad B are racing each other along the same straight road in the following manner: Car A has a head start and is a distance D_{A} beyond the starting line at t = 0. The starting line is at x = 0. Car A travels at a constant speed v_{A}. Car B starts at the starting line but has a better engine than Car A and thus Car B travels at a constant speed v_{B}, which is greater than v_{A}.

Part A: How long after Car B started the race will Car B catch up with Car A? Express the time in terms of given quantities.

Part B: How far from Car B's starting line will the cars be when Car B passes Car A? Express your answer in terms of known quantities.

Answer: Part A: t=\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}

              Part B: x_{B}=\frac{v_{B}D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}

Explanation: First, let's write an equation of motion for each car.

Both cars travels with constant speed. So, they are an uniform rectilinear motion and its position equation is of the form:

x=x_{0}+vt

where

x_{0} is initial position

v is velocity

t is time

Car A started the race at a distance. So at t = 0, initial position is D_{A}.

The equation will be:

x_{A}=D_{A}+v_{A}t

Car B started at the starting line. So, its equation is

x_{B}=v_{B}t

Part A: When they meet, both car are at "the same position":

D_{A}+v_{A}t=v_{B}t

v_{B}t-v_{A}t=D_{A}

t(v_{B}-v_{A})=D_{A}

t=\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}

Car B meet with Car A after t=\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}} units of time.

Part B: With the meeting time, we can determine the position they will be:

x_{B}=v_{B}(\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}} )

x_{B}=\frac{v_{B}D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}

Since Car B started at the starting line, the distance Car B will be when it passes Car A is x_{B}=\frac{v_{B}D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}} units of distance.
