Answer:

q_1=+0.375\ {10}^{-9}

Explanation:

Electrostatic Forces

The force exerted between two point charges q_1 and q_2 separated a distance d is given by Coulomb's formula

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

The forces are attractive if the charges have different signs and repulsive if they have equal signs.

The problem described in the question locates three point charges in a straight line. The charges have the values shown below

\displaystyle q_3=+5\ 10^{-9}\ c

\displaystyle q_2=-3\ 10^{-9}\ c

The distance between q_3 and q_2 is

\displaystyle d_2=4cm=0.04\ m

The distance between q_3 and q_1 is

\displaystyle d_1=2cm=0.02\ m

We must find the value of q_1 such that

\displaystyle |F_3|=0

Applying Coulomb's formula for q_1 is

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

Now for q_2

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

If the total force on q_3 is zero, both forces must be equal. Note that being q2 negative, the force on q3 is to the right. The force exerted by q1 must go to the left, thus q1 must be positive. Equating the forces we have:

\displaystyle F_{13}=F_{23}

\displaystyle \frac{k\ q_1\ q_3}{d_1^2}=\frac{k\ q_2\ q_3}{d_2^2}

Simplfying and solving for q_1

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

\displaystyle q_1=\frac{3.10^{-9}\ 0.02^2}{0.04^2}

\boxed{\displaystyle q_1=+0.375\ {10}^{-9}}

damaskus [11]

Answer:

the force will decrease to 3/4 of its original value.

Explanation:

The initial electric force between the two charges is:

F = k \frac{q\cdot q}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q is the magnitude of each charge

r is their separation

Later, half of one charge is transferred to the other charge; this means that one charge will have a charge of

q+\frac{q}{2}=\frac{3}{2}q

while the other charge will be

q-\frac{q}{2}=\frac{q}{2}

So, the new force will be

F' = k \frac{(\frac{q}{2})\cdot (\frac{3}{2}q)}{r^2}=\frac{3}{4} (k\frac{q\cdot q}{r^2})=\frac{3}{4}F

So, the force will decrease to 3/4 of its original value.

Naya [18.7K]

We might have a trouble viewing the general part of galaxy because :   the Milky Way's center is so brilliant and filled with stars, it has been particularly challenging for astronomers to examine it because it is impossible to distinguish individual stars and clusters.

<h3>What is a Milky Way ?</h3>

There are many stars, grains of dust, and gas in the Milky Way. It is known as a spiral galaxy because, from the top or bottom, it would appear to be whirling like a pinwheel. About 25,000 light-years from the galaxy's nucleus, the Sun is situated on one of the spiral arms.

The Milky Way galaxy is made up of billions of stars, as well as gas and dust, which are all drawn to one another by gravitational pull, as well as a significant amount of dark matter. Our galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years [e1] across.
