Answer: Option c

Explanation:

Nebula is a birthplace or stellar nursery where stars take birth. Gases condense to form a nebula. Then these gases start to collapse under their own gravity. This heats up the matter which is condensing which gives rise to a protostar. After the formation of protostar, if the mass is sufficient and temperature is high enough, nuclear fusion reaction kicks in at the core and starts to release energy and enters the main sequence.

Hence, the correct order of process leading up to the formation of main sequence star is: option c

Gases condense to form a nebula
gravity causes the nebula to collapse and spin
a protostar forms
nuclear fusion occurs.

What is the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 49.5 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.170 m ? Yo

insens350 [35]

Full Question

Consider two point charges located on the x axis: one charge, Q1 = -12.0 nC , is located at x1 = -1.705m ; the second charge, Q2 = 36.5 nC, is at the origin (x=0.0000).

What is the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 49.5 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.170 m ? Your answer may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force.

Answer:

6.79E6 N

Explanation:

Given

Q1 is negative and to the left of Q3 the force will be to the left

Q2 is positive and to the right of Q3 the the force will also be to the left

Net Force is calculated as:

Using Coulomb's law

Coulomb's law: F = kqQ / r²

the constant k = 8.99 x 10^9 N m2 / C2

F = -kQ1*Q3/(r1)² -kQ2*Q3/(r2)²)

F = -kQ3(Q1/(r1)² + Q2/(r2)²)

Where

Q1 = -12nC = -12 * 10^-9C

Q2 = 36.5nC = 36.5 * 10^-9C

Q3 = 49.5nC = 49.5 * 10^-9C

x1 = -1.705m

x2 = x = 0

x3 = -1.170m

r1 = x3 - x1

r1 = -1.170 - -1.705

r1 = -1.170 + 1.705

r1 = 0.535

r1² = 0.286225

r2 = x3

r2 = -1.170

r2² = -1.170²

r2² = 1.3689

So,

F = (-8.99 * 10^9)(49.5 *10^-9) [-12 * 10^-9/0.286225 + 36.5 * 10^-9/1.3689]

F = -445.005 (−4.192505895711E−8 + 2.6663744612462E−8)

F = -445.005 * −1.5261314344648E−8

F = -(8.99 * 10^9) * (49.5 * 10^-9) * [ (-12 * 10^-9) /(-1.770 - -1.705)² + (36.5 * 10^-9)/(-1.170)²]

F = -445.005( −0.000002813572941777538)

F = 0.00000679136118994008324

F = 6.79E6 N

A uniform meterstick of mass 0.20 kg is pivoted at the 40 cm mark. where should one hang a mass of 0.50 kg to balance the stick?

Tcecarenko [31]

The weight of the meterstick is:
$W=mg=0.20 kg \cdot 9.81 m/s^2 = 1.97 N$
and this weight is applied at the center of mass of the meterstick, so at x=0.50 m, therefore at a distance
$d_1 = 0.50 m - 0.40 m=0.10 m$
from the pivot.
The torque generated by the weight of the meterstick around the pivot is:
$M_w = W d_1 = (1.97 N)(0.10 m)=0.20 Nm$

To keep the system in equilibrium, the mass of 0.50 kg must generate an equal torque with opposite direction of rotation, so it must be located at a distance d2 somewhere between x=0 and x=0.40 m. The magnitude of the torque should be the same, 0.20 Nm, and so we have:
$(mg) d_2 = 0.20 Nm$
from which we find the value of d2:
$d_2 = \frac{0.20 Nm}{mg}= \frac{0.20 Nm}{(0.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)}=0.04 m$

So, the mass should be put at x=-0.04 m from the pivot, therefore at the x=36 cm mark.
