Answer:
1. Largest force: C; smallest force: B; 2. ratio = 9:1
Explanation:
The formula for the force exerted between two charges is
where K is the Coulomb constant.
q₁ and q₂ are also identical and constant, so Kq₁q₂ is also constant.
For simplicity, let's combine Kq₁q₂ into a single constant, k.
Then, we can write
1. Net force on each particle
Let's
- Call the distance between adjacent charges d.
- Remember that like charges repel and unlike charges attract.
Define forces exerted to the right as positive and those to the left as negative.
(a) Force on A
(b) Force on B
(C) Force on C
(d) Force on D
(e) Relative net forces
In comparing net forces, we are interested in their magnitude, not their direction (sign), so we use their absolute values.
2. Ratio of largest force to smallest
Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
Angular velocity () = 2.23 rps
Distance from the center (R) = 0.379 m
First, we will convert revolutions per second into radian per second as follows.
= 2.23 revolutions per second
=
= 14.01 rad/s
Now, tangential speed will be calculated as follows.
Tangential speed, v =
= 0.379 x 14.01
= 5.31 m/s
Thus, we can conclude that the tack's tangential speed is 5.31 m/s.
