Two particles are fixed to an x axis: particle 1 of charge q1 = 2.78 × 10-8 c at x = 15.0 cm and particle 2 of charge q2 = -3.24
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Refer to the attached figure. Xp may not be between the particles but the reasoning is the same nonetheless.
At xp the electric field is the sum of both electric fields, remember that at a coordinate x for a particle placed at x' we have the electric field of a point charge (all of this on the x-axis of course):
E=\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\frac{q}{(x-x')^2}
Now At xp we have:
\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\frac{q_1}{(x_p-x_1)^2}-\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\frac{3.29q_1}{(x_p-x_2)^2}=0
\implies (x_p-x_1)^2=\frac{(x_p-x_2)^2}{3.29}\\
\implies(1-\frac{1}{3.29})x_p^2+2(\frac{x_2}{3.29}-x_1)x_p+x_1^2-\frac{x_2^2}{3.29}=0
Which is a second order equation, using the quadratic formula to solve for xp would give us:
xp=\frac{-(\frac{x_2}{3.29}-x_1)-\sqrt{(\frac{x_2}{3.29}-x_1)^2-(1-\frac{1}{3.29})(x_1^2-\frac{x_2^2}{3.29})}}{(1-\frac{1}{3.29})}
or
xp=\frac{-(\frac{x_2}{3.29}-x_1)+\sqrt{(\frac{x_2}{3.29}-x_1)^2-(1-\frac{1}{3.29})(x_1^2-\frac{x_2^2}{3.29})}}{(1-\frac{1}{3.29})}
Plug the relevant values to get both answers.
Now, let's comment on which of those answers is the right answer. It happens that BOTH are correct. This is simply explained by considring the following.

Let's place a possitive test charge on the system This charge feels a repulsive force due to q1 but an attractive force due to q2, if we place the charge somewhere to the left of q2 the attractive force of q2 will cancel the repulsive force of q1, this translates to a zero electric field at this x coordinate. The same could happen if we place the test charge at some point to the right of q1, hence we can have two possible locations in which the electric field is zero. The second image shows two possible locations for xp.

Two charged particles separated by a distance of = 3 and experienced electrostatic forces of = 60 . What would be this force if
klemol [59]

Answer: 539.4 N

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that Coulomb's Law establishes the following:  

"The electrostatic force F_{E} between two point charges q_{1} and q_{2} is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance d that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them"

What is written above is expressed mathematically as follows:

F_{E}= K\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{d^{2}} (1)

Where:

F_{E}=60 N  is the electrostatic force

K=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2} is the Coulomb's constant  

q_{1} and q_{2} are the electric charges

d=3 m is the separation distance between the charges  

Then:

60 N= 8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{(3 m)^{2}} (2)

Isolating q_{1} and q_{2}:

q_{1}q_{2}=6(10)^{-8} C^{2} (3)

Now, if we keep the same charges but we decrease the distance to d_{1}=1 m, (1) is rewritten as:

F_{E}=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}\frac{6(10)^{-8} C^{2}}{(1 m)^{2}} (4)

Then, the new electrostatic force will be:

F_{E}= 539.4 N (5) As we can see, the electrostatic force is increased when we decrease the distance between the charges.

A disk rotates about its central axis starting from rest and accelerates with constant angular acceleration. At one time it is r
atroni [7]

(a) 2.79 rev/s^2

The angular acceleration can be calculated by using the following equation:

\omega_f^2 - \omega_i^2 = 2 \alpha \theta

where:

\omega_f = 20.0 rev/s is the final angular speed

\omega_i = 11.0 rev/s is the initial angular speed

\alpha is the angular acceleration

\theta=50.0 rev is the number of revolutions made by the disk while accelerating

Solving the equation for \alpha, we find

\alpha=\frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2d}=\frac{(20.0 rev/s)^2-(11.0 rev/s)^2}{2(50.0 rev)}=2.79 rev/s^2

(b) 3.23 s

The time needed to complete the 50.0 revolutions can be found by using the equation:

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}

where

\omega_f = 20.0 rev/s is the final angular speed

\omega_i = 11.0 rev/s is the initial angular speed

\alpha=2.79 rev/s^2 is the angular acceleration

t is the time

Solving for t, we find

t=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{\alpha}=\frac{20.0 rev/s-11.0 rev/s}{2.79 rev/s^2}=3.23 s

(c) 3.94 s

Assuming the disk always kept the same acceleration, then the time required to reach the 11.0 rev/s angular speed can be found again by using

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}

where

\omega_f = 11.0 rev/s is the final angular speed

\omega_i = 0 rev/s is the initial angular speed

\alpha=2.79 rev/s^2 is the angular acceleration

t is the time

Solving for t, we find

t=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{\alpha}=\frac{11.0 rev/s-0 rev/s}{2.79 rev/s^2}=3.94 s

(d) 21.7 revolutions

The number of revolutions made by the disk to reach the 11.0 rev/s angular speed can be found by using

\omega_f^2 - \omega_i^2 = 2 \alpha \theta

where:

\omega_f = 11.0 rev/s is the final angular speed

\omega_i = 0 rev/s is the initial angular speed

\alpha=2.79 rev/s^2 is the angular acceleration

\theta=? is the number of revolutions made by the disk while accelerating

Solving the equation for \theta, we find

\theta=\frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2\alpha}=\frac{(11.0 rev/s)^2-0^2}{2(2.79 rev/s^2)}=21.7 rev
