For this problem, we use the Coulomb's Law whose equation is written as

F = kQ₁Q₂/d²
where
F is the electric force
k is the Coulomb's constant equal to 8.98755×10⁹ N·m²/c²
Q₁ and Q₂ are two charges
d is the distance between two charges

First, let's compute the force between the two positive charges denotes as F₁.

F₁ = (8.98755×10⁹ N·m²/c²)(+53×10⁻⁶ C)(+53×10⁻⁶ C)/(35 cm * 1 m/100cm)²
F₁ = 206.09 N

Next, let's compute the force between the positive and the negative charges denotes as F₂.

F₂ = (8.98755×10⁹ N·m²/c²)(+53×10⁻⁶ C)(-53×10⁻⁶ C)/(35 cm * 1 m/100cm)²
F₂ = -206.09 N

The net force is the sum of the two forces.
Net Force = 206.09 - 206.09 = 0

Therefore, the net force experienced by the positive charge is zero.

Answer:

The net force on the positive charge will be zero.

Explanation:

Positive charges = q1 = q2 = 53uC

Negative charge = q3 = -53uC

Length of side of equilateral triangle = r = 35cm = 0.35m  

Force on q1 due to q2 will be  

F12 = kq1q2/r^2

F12 = (9 × 10^9)(53u)(53u)/(0.35)^2

F12 = 206.38N

Force on q1 due to q3 will be  

F13 = kq1q3/r^2

F13 = (9 × 10^9)(53u)(-53u)/(0.35)^2

F13 = -206.38N

Net force = F = F12 + F13 = 206.38 – 206.38

F = 0N

Hence, the net force on the positive charge will be zero.

What happens to the volume of an ideal gas as temperature drops
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Based on the ideal gas equation, the pressure (P), volume (V) and temperature (T) corresponding to n moles of an ideal gas are related as:

PV = nRT

where R = gas constant

Under conditions of constant pressure and  number of moles:

The volume is directly proportional to the pressure. Therefore, as the temperature drops the volume will also decrease.

V α T

This is also known as the Charles Law.

When a 2.60-kg object is hung vertically on a certain light spring described by Hooke's law, the spring stretches 2.86 cm. (a) W
Goryan [66]

Answer:

a)  k = 891.82 N/m

b) e = 0.0143 m = 1.43 cm

c) W = 5.02 J

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass = 2.60 kg

the spring stretches 2.86 cm = 0.0286

Step 2: What is the force constant of the spring?

Force constant, k = force applied / extension produced  

k = (2.60kg * 9.81N/kg) / 0.0326 m

k = 891.82 N/m

b)  If the 2.60-kg object is removed, how far will the spring stretch if a 1.30-kg block is hung on it

Extension = F/k = (1.30 kg * 9.81) / 891.82 =  0.0143 m = 1.43 cm

Half the mass means half the extension

c) How much work must an external agent do to stretch the same spring 7.50 cm from its unstretched position?

W = average force used * distance

W = 1/2 * k*e * e = 1/2 k*e²  

W = 1/2 * 891.82 * (0.075)² = W = 5.02 J
