If you draw the problem, it would look like that shown in the attached picture. The total length the ship will now travel can be solved using the Pythagorean theorem. The solution is as follows:

d = √(120)²+(100)²
d = 156.2 km

So, the ship will have to travel 156.2 km to the northwest direction.

Answer:

a) $F_{r}= -583.72MN i + 183.47MN j + 6.05GN k$

b) $E=3.04 \frac{GN}{C}$

Step-by-step explanation.

In order to solve this problem, we mus start by plotting the given points and charges. That will help us visualize the problem better and determine the direction of the forces (see attached picture).

Once we drew the points, we can start calculating the forces:

$r_{AP}^{2}=(3-0)^{2}+(3-0)^{2}+(5+0)^{2}$

which yields:

$r_{AP}^{2}= 43 m^{2}$

(I will assume the positions are in meters)

Next, we can make use of the force formula:

$F=k_{e}\frac{q_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}$

so we substitute the values:

$F_{AP}=(8.99x10^{9})\frac{(1C)(2C)}{43m^{2}}$

which yields:

$F_{AP}=418.14 MN$

Now we can find its components:

$F_{APx}=418.14 MN*\frac{3}{\sqrt{43}}i$

$F_{APx}=191.30 MNi$

$F_{APy}=418.14 MN*\frac{3}{\sqrt{43}}j$

$F_{APy}=191.30MN j$

$F_{APz}=418.14 MN*\frac{5}{\sqrt{43}}k$

$F_{APz}=318.83 MN k$

And we can now write them together for the first force, so we get:

$F_{AP}=(191.30i+191.30j+318.83k)MN$

We continue with the next force. The procedure is the same so we get:

$r_{BP}^{2}=(3-1)^{2}+(3-1)^{2}+(5+0)^{2}$

which yields:

$r_{BP}^{2}= 33 m^{2}$

Next, we can make use of the force formula:

$F_{BP}=(8.99x10^{9})\frac{(4C)(2C)}{33m^{2}}$

which yields:

$F_{BP}=2.18 GN$

Now we can find its components:

$F_{BPx}=2.18 GN*\frac{2}{\sqrt{33}}i$

$F_{BPx}=758.98 MNi$

$F_{BPy}=2.18 GN*\frac{2}{\sqrt{33}}j$

$F_{BPy}=758.98MN j$

$F_{BPz}=2.18 GN*\frac{5}{\sqrt{33}}k$

$F_{BPz}=1.897 GN k$

And we can now write them together for the second, so we get:

$F_{BP}=(758.98i + 758.98j + 1897k)MN$

We continue with the next force. The procedure is the same so we get:

$r_{CP}^{2}=(3-5)^{2}+(3-4)^{2}+(5-0)^{2}$

which yields:

$r_{CP}^{2}= 30 m^{2}$

Next, we can make use of the force formula:

$F_{CP}=(8.99x10^{9})\frac{(7C)(2C)}{30m^{2}}$

which yields:

$F_{CP}=4.20 GN$

Now we can find its components:

$F_{CPx}=4.20 GN*\frac{-2}{\sqrt{30}}i$

$F_{CPx}=-1.534 GNi$

$F_{CPy}=4.20 GN*\frac{2}{\sqrt{30}}j$

$F_{CPy}=-766.81 MN j$

$F_{CPz}=4.20 GN*\frac{5}{\sqrt{30}}k$

$F_{CPz}=3.83 GN k$

And we can now write them together for the third force, so we get:

$F_{CP}=(-1.534i - 0.76681j +3.83k)GN$

So in order to find the resultant force, we need to add the forces together:

$F_{r}=F_{AP}+F_{BP}+F_{CP}$

so we get:

$F_{r}=(191.30i+191.30j+318.83k)MN + (758.98i + 758.98j + 1897k)MN + (-1.534i - 0.76681j +3.83k)GN$

So when adding the problem together we get that:

$F_{r}=(-0.583.72i + 0.18347j +6.05k)GN$

which is the answer to part a), now let's take a look at part b).

b)

Basically, we need to find the magnitude of the force and divide it into the test charge, so we get:

$F_{r}=\sqrt{(-0.583.72)^{2} + (0.18347)^{2} +(6.05)^{2}}$

which yields:

$F_{r}=6.08 GN$

and now we take the formula for the electric field which is:

$E=\frac{F_{r}}{q}$

so we go ahead and substitute:

$E=\frac{6.08GN}{2C}$

$E=3.04\frac{GN}{C}$

Define the law of universal gravitation in your own words.

Firdavs [7]

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that a particle attracts every other particle in the universe using a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers

A spherical capacitor is formed from two concentric sphericalconducting shells separated by vacuum. The inner sphere has radius1

zubka84 [21]

Explanation:

(1). Formula to calculate the potential difference is as follows.

$\Delta V = -\int E dr$

= $-\int \frac{kq}{r^{2}} dr$

= $\frac{kq}{r_{f}} - \frac{kq}{r_{i}}$

= $\frac{kq(r_{f} - r_{i})}{r_{f}r_{i}}$

= $\frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 3.30 \times 10^{-9}(0.1 - 0.015)}{0.1 \times 0.015}$

= 38.7 volts

Therefore, magnitude of the potential difference between the two spheres is 38.7 volts.

(2). Now, formula to calculate the energy stored in the capacitor is as follows.

E = $\frac{1}{2}QV$

= $\frac{1}{2} \times 3.30 \times 10^{-9} \times 3.87 V$

= $6.39 \times 10^{-8} J$

Thus, the electric-field energy stored in the capacitor is $6.39 \times 10^{-8} J$ .

An object is dropped from a height of 25 meters. At what velocity will it hit the ground?

Goryan [66]

You can use Vf^2-Vi^2 = 2ax

Vf^2 - 0 = 2(9.81)(25)

Or you can use energy

mgh = 1/2mv^2

2gh =v^2

Same thing
