Answer:

$q_1=+0.375\ {10}^{-9}$

Explanation:

Electrostatic Forces

The force exerted between two point charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ separated a distance d is given by Coulomb's formula

$\displaystyle F=\frac{k\ q_1\ q_2}{d^2}$

The forces are attractive if the charges have different signs and repulsive if they have equal signs.

The problem described in the question locates three point charges in a straight line. The charges have the values shown below

$\displaystyle q_3=+5\ 10^{-9}\ c$

$\displaystyle q_2=-3\ 10^{-9}\ c$

The distance between $q_3$ and $q_2$ is

$\displaystyle d_2=4cm=0.04\ m$

The distance between $q_3$ and $q_1$ is

$\displaystyle d_1=2cm=0.02\ m$

We must find the value of $q_1$ such that

$\displaystyle |F_3|=0$

Applying Coulomb's formula for $q_1$ is

$\displaystyle F_{13}=\frac{k\ q_1\ q_3}{d_1^2}$

Now for $q_2$

$\displaystyle F_{23}=\frac{k\ q_2\ q_3}{d_2^2}$

If the total force on $q_3$ is zero, both forces must be equal. Note that being q2 negative, the force on q3 is to the right. The force exerted by q1 must go to the left, thus q1 must be positive. Equating the forces we have:

$\displaystyle F_{13}=F_{23}$

$\displaystyle \frac{k\ q_1\ q_3}{d_1^2}=\frac{k\ q_2\ q_3}{d_2^2}$

Simplfying and solving for $q_1$

$\displaystyle q_1=\frac{q_2\ d_1^2}{d_2^2}$

$\displaystyle q_1=\frac{3.10^{-9}\ 0.02^2}{0.04^2}$

$\boxed{\displaystyle q_1=+0.375\ {10}^{-9}}$

Examine the lightbulbs in the circuit below. Write a sentence explaining what would happen if lightbulb A burned out. Repeat thi

tatiyna

If the lightbulb A in the circuit shown in the image burned out, the path for the current to flow is disrupted because one of its terminals is connected direct to the source. So, there will be no current through the lightbulbs B, C, and D, and they will turn off. Similarly it will happen, if the lightbulb D burned out.

If the lightbulb B burned out the current will continue circulating through the lightbulbs A, C, and D, because lightbulb B is connected in parallel. Similarly it will happen, if the lightbulb C burned out.

Consider three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C. Sphere A carries a charge of +6q. Sphere B caries a charge of-2q. Sphere C

miskamm [114]

<h2>20. How much charge is on sphere B after A and B touch and are separated?</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

$\boxed{q_{B}=+2q}$

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We'll solve this problem by using the concept of electric potential or simply called potential $V$ , which is <em>the energy per unit charge, </em>so the potential $V$ at any point in an electric field with a test charge $q_{0}$ at that point is:

$V=\frac{U}{q_{0}}$

The potential $V$ due to a single point charge q is:

$V=k\frac{q}{r}$

Where $k$ is an electric constant, $q$ is value of point charge and $r$ is the distance from point charge to where potential is measured. Since, the three spheres A, B and C are identical, they have the same radius $r$ . Before the sphere A and B touches we have:

$V_{A}=k\frac{q_{A}}{r_{A}} \\ \\ V_{B}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r_{A}} \\ \\ But: \\ \\ \ r_{A}=r_{B}=r$

When they touches each other the potential is the same, so:

$V_{A}= V_{B} \\ \\ k\frac{q_{A}}{r}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r} \\ \\ \boxed{q_{A}=q_{B}}$

From the principle of conservation of charge <em>the algebraic sum of all the electric charges in any closed system is constant. </em>So:

$q_{A}+q_{B}=q \\ \\ q_{A}=+6q \ and \ q_{B}=-2q \\ \\ So: \\ \\ \boxed{q_{A}+q_{B}=+4q}$

Therefore:

$(1) \ q_{A}=q_{B} \\ \\ (2) \ q_{A}+q_{B}=+4q \\ \\ (1) \ into \ (2): \\ \\ q_{A}+q_{A}=+4q \therefore 2q_{A}=+4q \therefore \boxed{q_{A}=q_{B}=+2q}$

So after A and B touch and are separated the charge on sphere B is:

$\boxed{q_{B}=+2q}$

<h2>21. How much charge ends up on sphere C?</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

$\boxed{q_{C}=+1.5q}$

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

First: A and B touches and are separated, so the charges are:

$q_{A}=q_{B}=+2q$

Second: C is then touched to sphere A and separated from it.

Third: C is to sphere B and separated from it

So we need to calculate the charge that ends up on sphere C at the third step, so we also need to calculate step second. Therefore, from the second step:

Here $q_{A}=+2q$ and C carries no net charge or $q_{C}=0$ . Also, $r_{A}=r_{C}=r$

$V_{A}=k\frac{q_{A}}{r} \\ \\ V_{C}=k\frac{q_{C}}{r}$

Applying the same concept as the previous problem when sphere touches we have:

$k\frac{q_{A}}{r} =k\frac{q_{C}}{r} \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}$

For the principle of conservation of charge:

$q_{A}+q_{C}=+2q \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}=+q$

Finally, from the third step:

Here $q_{B}=+2q \ and \ q_{C}=+q$ . Also, $r_{B}=r_{C}=r$

$V_{B}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r} \\ \\ V_{C}=k\frac{q_{C}}{r}$

When sphere touches we have:

$k\frac{q_{B}}{r} =k\frac{q_{C}}{r} \\ \\ q_{B}=q_{C}$

For the principle of conservation of charge:

$q_{B}+q_{C}=+3q \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}=+1.5q$

So the charge that ends up on sphere C is:

$q_{C}=+1.5q$

<h2>22. What is the total charge on the three spheres before they are allowed to touch each other.</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

$+4q$

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Before they are allowed to touch each other we have that:

$q_{A}=+6q \\ \\ q_{B}=-2q \\ \\ q_{C}=0$

Therefore, for the principle of conservation of charge <em>the algebraic sum of all the electric charges in any closed system is constant, </em>then this can be expressed as:

$q_{A}+q_{B}+q_{C}=+6q -2q +0 \\ \\ \therefore q_{A}+q_{B}+q_{C}=+4q$

Lastly, the total charge on the three spheres before they are allowed to touch each other is:

$+4q$

A 13-kg sled is moving at a speed of 3.0 m/s. At which of the following speeds will the sled have twice as much kinetic energy?

AysviL [449]

K.E. = 1/2 mv²
K.E. is directly proportional to v^2
So, when K.E. increase by 2, K.E. increase by root. 2
v' = 1.41v
original v value was 3 so, final would be:
v' = 1.41*3 = 4.23
After round-off to it's tenth value, it will be:
v' = 4.2

So, option B is your answer!

Hope this helps!
