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.

The load across a 12 v battery consists of a series combination of three resistors 45 ω, 55 ω, and 35 ω. what is the total resis
zubka84 [21]
For n resistors in series, the equivalent resistance is given by the sum of the resistances:
R_{eq} = R_1 + R_2 + ... + R_n

In this problem, we have three resistors, so the equivalent resistance of the load is the sum of the resistances of the three resistors:
R_{eq}=45 \Omega + 55 \Omega + 35 \Omega =135 \Omega

Which of the following are possible causes of mass extinctions that scientists have identified
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

over harvesting, pollution, introduction of invasive species such as new predators and food competitors

Explanation:

The main cause of mass extinction is Humans cause extinction of a species through overharvesting. The second main  cause is pollution ., introduction of invasive species such as new predators and food competitors, habitat destruction, overhunting and other influences. Another very important cause of mass extinction is the unsustainable human population growth.

The five mass extinction events are

Ordovician Mass Extinction

Devonian Mass Extinction

 Permian Mass Extinction

Triassic -Jurassic Mass Extinction

and Cretaceous -Tertiary (or the K-T) Mass Extinction.
