Three point charges are located in the x-y plane. q1 = -52.1 nC at (0.00, +3.10 cm), q2 = +25.4 nC at (-4.70 cm, 0.00) and q3 =

-18.2 nC at (+7.50 cm, -8.70 cm). Determine the x component of the net electric field at the origin (0.00 m, 0.00m), due to the charges. Give your answer in the form "[+/-a.bc x 10^(x) N/C]j". Note that j is the unit vector in the y direction.

Answer:

E= 1.11 x 10^5 N/C

Explanation:

Given

Magnitude of charges

Q1 = -52.1 nC

Q2 = +25.4 nC

Q3 = -18.2 nC

Location of point Charge Q1, A= (0.00 i + 3.10 j) cm  

Location of point charge Q2, B = (-4.71 i + 0.00 j) cm

Location of point charge Q3, C = (7.50 i -8.70 j) cm

location of the origin is O = (0.00 i + 0.00 j) cm

Solution

The eleectric feild will be directed away from the positive charge along the line BO and towards the negative charges along lines OA and OC respectively

OA = A -O = (0.00 i + 3.10 j) cm  = (0.0000 i + 0.0310 j ) m ( direction of the

BO = O - B = (4.71 i - 0.00 j) cm = (0.0471 i + 0.000 j ) m

OC = C -A = (7.50 i -8.70 j) cm = (0.0750 i + 0.0870 j ) m

|OA| = \sqrt{0^{2} +3.10^{2} } \\|OA| =3.10 cm \\|OA| = 0.0310 m\\\\|BO| = \sqrt{4.71^{2} +0^{2} } \\|BO| =4.71 cm \\|BO| = 0.0471 m\\\\|OC| = \sqrt{7.50^{2} +8.70^{2} } \\|OC| =11.5  cm\\|OC| = 0.1149 m\\\\

E_{1} =\frac{kQ_{1} }{|OA|^{3} } OA \\\\E_{1} =\frac{9\times 10^{9} \times 52.1 \times 10^{-9} }{|0.0310|^{3}} (0.0000 i + 0.0310 j )\\\\E_{1} = (0.00 i + 487,929 j) N/C \\\\

E_{2} =\frac{kQ_{2} }{|BO|^{3} } BO \\\\E_{2} =\frac{9\times 10^{9} \times 25.4 \times 10^{-9} }{|0.0470|^{3}} (0.0470 i + 0.0000 j )\\\\E_{2} = (103486 i + 0 j ) N/C \\\\

E_{3} =\frac{kQ_{3} }{|OC|^{3} } OC \\\\E_{3} =\frac{9\times 10^{9} \times 18.2 \times 10^{-9} }{|0.1149^{3}} (0.0750 i - 0.0870 j )\\\\E_{3} = (8098.7 i - 9394.5 j ) N/C\\\\

E_{x} = E_{1x} +E_{2x} +E_{3x} \\E_{x} = (0+ 103486 +8098.7 )j\\E_{x}=111584.7 N/C\\E_{x} = 1.11 \times 10^{5} N/C

What forces contribute to density
mixer [17]
No force contributes to density, the density is a physical quantity that is defined as being \rho = m/V 
 the raport between the mass of the object and its volume. However if you want to measure the density of an object you might want to determine its gravity force (weight) G=mg from which knowing the gravitational acceleratin you can find its mass m=G/g
 
where G is given in Newtons and g=9.81 is given in  (m/s^2)

A 5.5kg radio is pushed across the table. If the acceleration is 5m/s to the right, find the net force exerted on the radio.
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Net force exerted on the radio is 27.5 Newton.

Given:

Mass = 5.5 kg

Acceleration = 5 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

To find:

Force exerted on the radio = ?

Formula used:

F = ma

Where F = net force

m = mass

a = acceleration

Solution:

According to Newton's second law of motion,

F = ma

Where F = net force

m = mass

a = acceleration

F = 5.5 × 5

F = 27.5 Newton

Hence, Net force exerted on the radio is 27.5 Newton.
