Three charges are located at a different position in a plane: q1= 10μC at →r1=(5,6)cm q2=−27μC at →r2=(−6,10)cm and q3=−12μC at

→r3=(21,−12)cm. What is the electric field of the first two charges at the location of the third charge?

Answer:

 E = (2.29 i ^ - 0.917 j ^) 10⁶ N / C

 E_{total} = 2,467 10⁶ N / A       θ = -21.8      

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use that the electric field is a vector quantity, so the total field is

        E_total = E₁₃ + E₂₃

bold font vectors .  We can work with the components of the electric field in each axis

X- axis

       E_ total x = E₁₃ₓ + E_{23x}

y-axis  

      E_{total y} = E_{13y} + E_{23y}

the expression for the electric field is

       E = k q / r²

where r is the distance between the charge and the positive test charge

       

in this exercise

Let's find the field created by charge 1

q₁ = 10 μC = 10 10⁻⁶ C

x₁ = 5 cm = 0.05 m

x₃ = 21 cm = 0.21 m

         E_{13x} = 9 10⁹ 10 10⁻⁶ / (0.21 -0.05)²

         E_{13x} = 3.516 10⁶ N / C

y₁ = 6 cm = 0.06 cm

y₃ = -12 cm = -0.12 m

        E_{13y} = 9 10⁹ 10 10⁻⁶ / (-0.12 - 0.06)²

        E_{13y} = 2,777 10⁶ N / C

let's find the field produced by charge 2

q₂ = -27 μC = - 27 10⁻⁶ C

x₂ = -6 cm = -0.06 m

x₃ = 0.21 m

        E_{23x} = 9 10⁹ 27 10⁻⁶ / (0.21 + 0.06)²

        E_{23x} = 1.23 10⁶ N / A

y₂ = 10 cm = 0.10 m

y₃ = -0.12 m

        E_{23y} = 9 10⁹ 27 10⁻⁶ / (-0.12 - 0.10)²

        E_{23y} = 1.86 10⁶ N / C

Taking the components we can calculate the total electric field, we must use that charge of the same sign repel and attract the opposite sign, remember that the test charge is always considered positive.

       E_{total x} = E_{13x} - E_{23x}

       E_{total x} = (3.516 - 1.23) 10⁶

       E_{total x} = 2.29 10⁶ N / A

       

       E_{total y} = -E_{13y} + E_{23y}

       E_{total y} = (-2.777 +1.86) 10⁶ N / A

       E_{total y} = -0.917 10⁶ N / A

we can give the result in two ways

         E = (2.29 i ^ - 0.917 j ^) 10⁶ N / C

or in the form of modulus and angle, let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the modulus

                E_{total} = √ (E_{total x}^2 + E_{total y}^ 2)

                 E_{total} = √ (2.29² + 0.917²) 10⁶

                E_{total} = 2,467 10⁶ N / A

let's use trigonometry for the angle

                tan θ = E_total and / E_totalx

                θ = tan⁻¹ E_{total y} / E_{total x}

                θ = tan⁻¹ (-0.917 / 2.29)

                θ = -21.8

The negative sign indicates that the angle is measured with respect to the x-axis in a clockwise direction.

A hockey stick strikes a hockey puck of mass 0.17 kg. If the force exterted on the hockey puck is 35.0 N and there is a force of
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

a=190\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Mass of a hockey puck, m = 0.17 kg

Force exerted by the hockey puck, F' = 35 N

The force of friction, f = 2.7 N

We need to find the acceleration of the hockey puck.

Net force, F=F'-f

F=35-2.7

F=32.3 N

Now, using second law of motion,

F = ma

a is the acceleration of the hockey puck

a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{32.3}{0.17}\\\\a=190\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the hockey puck is 190\ m/s^2.

A ball is dropped from a height of 20m and renounce with the velocity which is 3/4 of d velocity with which it hits the ground.
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

1.73 seconds

Explanation:

The velocity the ball first hits the ground with is:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (-10 m/s²) (-20 m)

v = -20 m/s

The velocity it rebounds with is 3/4 of that in the opposite direction, or 15 m/s.

The time it takes to return to the ground is:

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

0 = (15 m/s) t + ½ (-10 m/s²) t²

0 = t (15 − 5t²)

t = √3

t ≈ 1.73 seconds

A bat traveling at 10m/s for 10 seconds has traveled how much distance ​
dlinn [17]

Answer:

100m

Explanation:

Speed = distance divided by time or v=d/t . By making d the subject of the formula we have d = v x t which is 10 x 10 = 100
