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

a coin press creates a pressure of 3.20*10^8 Pa on a nickel of radius 0.0106 m. how much force does the press exert on the coin?
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

1.13 x 10⁵N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure of the coin press = 3.2 x 10⁸ Pa

radius of the nickel coin = 0.0106m

Unknown:

Force of the press on coil = ?

Solution:

Our knowledge of pressure will help us solve this problem.

Pressure is defined as the force applied per unit area on a body.

              Pressure  = \frac{force}{area}

  Force = Pressure  x  Area

 Since the pressure is known;

Area of the coin = Area of a circle = π r²

 where r is the radius of the coin;

Area of the coin = π x 0.0106²  = 3.53 x 10⁻⁴m²

  Force = 3.2 x 10⁸ x  3.53 x 10⁻⁴  = 1.13 x 10⁵N

These are the Kepler's laws of planetary motion.

This law relates a planet's orbital period and its average distance to the Sun. - Third law of Kepler.

The orbits of planets are ellipses with the Sun at one focus. - First law of Kepler.

The speed of a planet varies, such that a planet sweeps out an equal area in equal time frames. - Second law of Kepler.

2200 kg semi truck driving down the highway has lost control. The truck rolls across the median and into oncoming traffic. The t
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.

Explanation:

In this exercise we see a case of an entirely inellastic collision between the semi truck and the car, which can be described by the following equation derived from Principle of Linear Momentum Conservation: (We assume that velocity oriented northwards is positive)

m_{S}\cdot v_{S}+m_{C}\cdot v_{C} = (m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v (1)

Where:

m_{S}, m_{C} - Masses of the semi truck and the car, measured in kilograms.

v_{S}, v_{C} - Initial velocities of the semi truck and the car, measured in meters per second.

v - Final speed of the system after collision, measured in meters per second.

If we know that m_{S} = 2200\,kg, m_{C} = 2000\,kg, v_{C} = 45\,\frac{m}{s} and v = -15\,\frac{m}{s}, then the initial velocity of the semi truck is:

m_{S}\cdot v_{S} = (m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v -m_{C}\cdot v_{C}

v_{S} = \frac{(m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v - m_{C}\cdot v_{C}}{m_{S}}

v_{S} = \left(1+\frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}} \right)\cdot v - \frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}} \cdot v_{C}

v_{S} = v +\frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}}\cdot (v-v_{C})

v_{S} = -15\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(\frac{2000\,kg}{2200\,kg} \right) \cdot \left(-15\,\frac{m}{s}-45\,\frac{m}{s}  \right)

v_{S} = -69.545\,\frac{m}{s}  

The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.

What is the original source of hydroelectric energy
tangare [24]

Differences in land elevation result in rainfall runoff, and allow some of the original solar energy to be captured as hydro-electric power (Figure 1). Hydro power is currently the world's largest renewable source of electricity, accounting for 6% of worldwide energy supply or about 15% of the world's electricity.

hope this helps
