Determined by cross product or ( vector product )
To solve letter a:
d1 = 85t1 = 16 km,
85t1 = 16,
t1 = 16 / 85 = 0.1882 h = 11.29 min.
d2 = 115t2 = 16 km,
115t2 = 16,
t2 = 16 / 115 = 0.139 h = 8.35 min.
t1 - t2 = 11.29 - 8.35 = 2.94 min.
Car #2 arrives 2.94 minutes sooner.
To solve letter b:
15 min = 1/4 h = 0.25 h.
d1 = d2,
115t = 85(t + 0.25),
115t = 85t + 21.25,
115t - 85t = 21.25,
30t = 21.25,
t = 21.25 / 30 = 0.71 h,
d = 115 * 0.71 = 81.65 km.
1. <span>FX = 0 since the bottom charges are symmetrical about the y axis and the top charge is aligned with the y-axis
3. </span><span>FY > 0 since the bottom charges do not equate the top charge. The bottom charges have horizontal components which is less than q and adding them all, will not result to 3q.</span>
Quantity of Charge , Q = ne
Where n = number of electrons
e = charge on one electron = -1.6 * 10 ^-19 C.
n = 50 * 10^31 electrons
Q = (50 * 10^31)*( -1.6 * 10 ^-19 ) = -8 * 10^13 C.
Note that the minus sign indicates that the charge is a negative charge.
