Two particles, each of charge Q, are fixed at opposite corners of a square that lies in the plane of the page. A positive test c

harge q is placed at a third corner. If F is the magnitude of the force on the q test charge due to only one of the other charges, what is the magnitude of the net force acting on the test charge due to both of these charges?

Answer:

The magnitude of the net force is √2F.

Explanation:

Since the two particles have the same charge Q, they exert the same force on the test charge; both attractive or repulsive. So, the angle between the two forces is 90° in any case. Now, as we know the magnitude of these forces and that they form a 90° angle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the magnitude of the resultant net force:

F_N=\sqrt{F^{2}+F^{2}}\\\\F_N=\sqrt{2F^{2}}\\\\F_N=\sqrt{2}F

Then, it means that the net force acting on the test charge has a magnitude of √2F.

How many cubic feet are in a 55-gallon drum?
san4es73 [151]
1 gallon = 231 cubic inches
1 cubic foot = 1728 cubic inches

                       (55 gal) x (231 in³/gal) x (1 ft³/1728 in³)

                   =    (55 x 231 / 1728)  ft³

                   =         7.352 cubic feet       (rounded)

Which best describes the ages of the rocks on opposite sides of and the same distance from, A Seafloor spreading center?
Genrish500 [490]

Answer;

-The rocks are the same age

Explanation;

Seafloor spreading is the process by which the seafloor moves apart at mid-ocean ridges.  Divergent seafloor spreading occurs at this type of plate boundary.

Seafloor spreading and other tectonic activity processes are the result of mantle convection. Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries. As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle’s convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense.

How many electrons are in an electrically neutral atom of boron? A) 3 B) 5 C) 6 D) 8
Hoochie [10]
B. five electrons

If you want an explanation, here it is.

The atomic number gives the number of protons. Protons which have a positive charge are balanced by an equal number of electrons in a neutral atom. Boron number 5 has five protons and therefore as a neutral atom also has five electrons.
