Snapping a leaf shut around an insect, I think.
The first part of the question is:
Two point charges are placed on the x axis. (Attached file)The first charge, q1 = 8.00 nC , is placed a distance 16.0 m from the origin along the positive x axis; the second charge, q2 = 6.00 nC , is placed a distance 9.00 m from the origin along the negative x axis.
Answer:
q3 = +0.3nc
Explanation:
Due to the vector symbols in the solution, I've decided to attach the explanation to this answer.
The Average velocity for the bacterium is 0.75 unit/sec.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The given values are in the vector form
Where,
dS = distance covered
dT = time interval
Now, to calculate distance covered, we have
&
d S=(4.6 i+1.9 k)-(2.2 i+3.7 j - 1.2 k)
d S=(4.6-2.2) i+(0-3.7) j+(1.9+1.2) k
d S=2.4 i-3.7 j+3.1 k
Now, putting these values in the standard formula to evaluate the average velocity, we get;
As dT=7.2 sec
Now,
Solving the equation, we get;
Hence, the average velocity for the bacterium is 0.75 unit/sec.
The maximum force acts between B and C as the graph is steepest showing maximum deceleration
