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

Which of the following statements is true?
xenn [34]

Correct answer choice is :


C) The freezing and melting temperatures of a substance are the same.


Explanation:


Fluids have a particular temperature at which they convert into solids, identified as their freezing point. In theory, the melting point of a solid should be the same as the freezing point of the liquid. In practice, small variations among these measures can be seen. The freezing point of a matter is the same as that substance's melting point. At this distinct temperature, the substance can exist as either a solid or a liquid. At temperatures below the freezing/ melting point, the substance is a solid.

Calculate the pressure the fluid exerted on your diver. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 and the density of the water is
erica [24]

Complete question:

A diver is 10 m below the surface of water. Calculate the pressure the fluid exerted on the diver. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 and the density of the water is 1000 kg/m3. Answer in units of Pa. Show your work.

Answer:

Tthe pressure the fluid exerted on the diver is 1.99 x 10⁵ Pa

Explanation:

Given;

density of water, ρ = 1000 kg/m³

diver's position below the surface of the water, h = 10 m

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Let the atmospheric pressure, P₀ = 101325 Pa

The pressure 10 m below the surface of the water is calculated as;

P =  P₀  + ρgh

P = 101325 Pa  +  (1000 x 9.8 x 10)Pa

P = 199325 Pa

P = 1.99 x 10⁵ Pa.

Therefore, the pressure the fluid exerted on the diver is 1.99 x 10⁵ Pa
