sides 1 m in length. The bottom two charges are each negative 4 Coulombs. The top charge is negative 3 Coulombs. There are vectors from the top charge north labeled W, south labeled Y, east labeled X, and west labeled Z. Which vector best represents the net force acting on the –3 C charge in the diagram?

Answer:

<em>The force is W</em>

Explanation:

<u>Sum of Electrostatic Forces</u>

The electrostatic forces have magnitude and direction as all physical forces do. Two point charges repel each other if their charges have the same sign, and they attract each other if their signs are opposite.

The bottom two charges and the top charges are negative, thus all the forces are repulsive. Charge 1 exerts a force F1, charge 2 exerts a force F2. Please look at the diagram in the figure below. The sum of both forces is shown with a red line. The horizontal component of the forces cancel each other, thus the total force goes upward.

The correct vector that best represents the net force is W

A 2.81 μF capacitor is charged to 1220 V and a 6.61 μF capacitor is charged to 560 V. These capacitors are then disconnected fro
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

756.88 Volts will be the potential difference across each capacitor.

Explanation:

Q=C\times V

Q = Charge on capacitor

C = Capacitance

V = Voltage across capacitor

Capacitance of first capacitor = C_1=2.81 \mu F=2.81\times 10^{-6} F

Charge of first capacitor = Q_1

Voltage across first capacitor = V_1=1220 V

Q_1=C_1V_1

Q_1=2.81\times 10^{-6} F\times 1220 V=0.0034282 C

Capacitance of first capacitor = C_2=6.61\mu F=6.61\times 10^{-6} F

Charge of second capacitor = Q_2

Voltage across first capacitor = V_2=560 V

Q_2=C_2V_2

Q_1=6.61\times 10^{-6} F\times 560 V=0.0037016 C

Both the capacitors are disconnected and positive plates are now connected to each other and the negative plates are connected to each other. These capacitors are connected in parallel combination.

Total charge = Q

Q =Q_1+Q_2=0.0034282 C+ 0.0037016 C=0.0071298 C

Total capacitance in parallel combination:

C_p=C_1+C_2=2.81\times 10^{-6} F+6.61\times 10^{-6} F=9.42\times 10^{-6} F

Potential across both capacitors = V

V=\frac{Q}{C}=\frac{0.0071298 C}{9.42\times 10^{-6} F}=756.88 V

756.88 Volts will be the potential difference across each capacitor.

An empty water tank has a rectangular base with side lengths of 1.2 m and 2.3 m. The weight of the tank applies a pressure of 35
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Weight = 966 Newton.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Length = 1.2 m

Width = 2.3 m

Pressure = 350 Pa

To find the weight of the tank;

We know that weight is the force of gravity acting on an object multiplied by its mass.

Weight = mg = force

Hence, we would determine the force using the parameters that were given.

But we would first determine the area of the rectangular tank.

Area of rectangle, A = length * width

A = 1.2 * 2.3

A = 2.76 m²

Mathematically, pressure is given by the formula;

Pressure = force/area

Force = pressure * area

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Force = 2.76 * 350

Force = 966 Newton

Therefore, the weight of the tank is 966 Newton.

A ladder 7.60 m long leans against an exterior wall. If the ladder is inclined at an angle of 68.0° to the horizontal, what is t
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

2.85 m

Explanation:

From trigonometry,

Cosine = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Assuming, The wall, the ladder and the ladder forms a right angle triangle as shown in fig 1, in the diagram attached below.

cos∅ = a/H....................... Equation 1

Where ∅ = Angle the ladder makes with the horizontal, a = The horizontal distance from the bottom of the ladder to the wall, H = The length of the ladder.

make a the subject of the equation

a = cos∅(H)..................... Equation 1

Given: ∅ = 68 °, H = 7.6 m.

Substitute into equation 2

a = cos(68)×7.6

a = 0.375×7.6

a = 2.85 m.

Hence the horizontal distance from the bottom of the ladder to the wall = 2.85 m

Which is the best predictor of the radioactive nature of an isotope?
azamat
The best predictor of the radioactive nature of an isotope is the neutron-to-proton ratio of the atom. Isotopes are atoms of elements having the same number of protons however they don't have the same number of neutrons. Each isotope of an element will have different values of mass number.
