Answer:
The force on q₁ due to q₂ is (0.00973i + 0.02798j) N
Explanation:
F₂₁ = 
Where;
F₂₁ is the vector force on q₁ due to q₂
K is the coulomb's constant = 8.99 X 10⁹ Nm²/C²
r₂₁ is the unit vector
|r₂₁| is the magnitude of the unit vector
|q₁| is the absolute charge on point charge one
|q₂| is the absolute charge on point charge two
r₂₁ = [(9-5)i +(7.4-(-4))j] = (4i + 11.5j)
|r₂₁| = 
(|r₂₁|)² = 148.25

= 0.050938(0.19107i + 0.54933j) N
= (0.00973i + 0.02798j) N
Therefore, the force on q₁ due to q₂ is (0.00973i + 0.02798j) N
Answer:

Explanation:
consider the mass of each train car be m
m₁ = m₂ = m₃ = m
speed of the three identical train
u₁ = u₂ = u₃ = 1.8 m/s
m₄ = m u₄ = 4.5 m/s
m₅ = m u₅ = 0 (initial velocity )
final velocity
v₁ = v₂ = v₃ = v₄ = v₅ = v
using conservation of momentum
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ + m₃u₃ + m₄u₄ + m₅u₅ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ + m₃v₃ + m₄v₄ + m₅v₅
m (1.8 + 1.8 + 1.8 +4.5) = 5 m v


Assuming you are looking for the acceleration a:
1.

2.

where T is the tension and a is the acceleration of the blocks. The acceleration of the two blocks and the acceleration of the pulley must be equal.
The torque on the pulley is given by:
