What is the electrical force between q2 and q3? Recall that k = 8. 99 × 109 N•meters squared over Coulombs squared. 1. 0 × 1011

nlexa [21]

Force on the particle is defined as the application of the force field of one particle on another particle. the electrical force between q₁ and q₃ will be –1. 1 × 10¹¹ N.

<h3>What is electric force?</h3>

Force on the particle is defined as the application of the force field of one particle on another particle. It is a type of virtual force.

The electric force in the second case will be the same as in the first case. Therefore the force on the particle will be the same.

$\rm F= K\frac{q_2q_3}{r^2}$

$\rm F= 9\times 10^9 \times \frac{1.6 \times 10^{-13}\times 1.6\times10^{-13}}{(0.5)^2}$

$\rm F= - 1. 1 \times 10^{11 }N$

Hence the electrical force between q₁ and q₃ will be –1. 1 × 10¹¹ N.

What is one way that continental rifts are similar to mid-ocean ridges and what is one that they are different?

adell [148]

Explanation:

Continental rifts and mid-ocean ridges are both features of a divergent plate margin.

In both cases plates are moving away from one another. Therefore they are creating new land masses.

A continental drift like the east African rift valley is where a continent begins to pull apart or diverges.
A mid-ocean ridge is divergent margin in the ocean.

They are different in that, continental rift occurs within the continental plate that are on land.

But:

Mid-ocean ridges are in the oceanic crust in the ocean . They form the largest physiographic structure on the earth surface called the mid-ocean ridge.

A cup of coffee is sitting on a table in a train that is moving with a constant velocity. The coefficient of static friction bet

Vikki [24]

Answer:

a = 2.94 m/s²

Explanation:

In order for the cup not to slip, the unbalanced force on cup must be equal to the frictional force:

Unbalanced Force = Frictional Force

ma = μR = μW

ma = μmg

a = μg

where,

a = maximum acceleration for the cup not to slip = ?

μ = coefficient of static friction = 0.3

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

a = (0.3)(9.8 m/s²)

A positive charge +q1 is located to the left of a negative charge -q2. On a line passing through the two charges, there are two

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

please the answer below

Explanation:

(a) If we assume that our origin of coordinates is at the position of charge q1, we have that the potential in both points is

$V_1=k\frac{q_1}{r-1.0}-k\frac{q_2}{1.0}=0\\\\V_2=k\frac{q_1}{r+5.2}-k\frac{q_2}{5.2}=0\\\\$

k=8.89*10^9

For both cases we have

$k\frac{q_1}{r-1.0}=k\frac{q_2}{1.0}\\\\q_1(1.0)=q_2(r-1.0)\\\\r=\frac{q_1+q_2}{q_2}\\\\k\frac{q_1}{r+5.2}=k\frac{q_2}{5.2}\\\\q_1(5.2)=q_2(r+5.2)\\\\r=\frac{5.2q_1-5.2q_2}{q_2}$

(b) by replacing this values of r in the expression for V we obtain

$k\frac{q_1}{\frac{5.2(q_1-q_2)}{q_2}+5.2}=k\frac{q_2}{5.2}\\\\\frac{q_1}{q_2}=\frac{(q_1-q_2)}{q_2}-1.0=\frac{q_1-q_2-q_2}{q_2}=\frac{q_1-2q_2}{q_2}$

hope this helps!!
