Answer:

<em>D. The total force on the particle with charge q is perpendicular to the bottom of the triangle.</em>

Explanation:

The image is shown below.

The force on the particle with charge q due to each charge Q = \frac{kQq}{r^{2} }

we designate this force as N

Since the charges form an equilateral triangle, then, the forces due to each particle with charge Q on the particle with charge q act at an angle of 60° below the horizontal x-axis.

Resolving the forces on the particle, we have

for the x-component

N_{x} = N cosine 60° + (-N cosine 60°) = 0

for the y-component

N_{y} = -f sine 60° + (-f sine 60) = -2N sine 60° = -2N(0.866) = -1.732N

The above indicates that there is no resultant force in the x-axis, since it is equal to zero (N_{x} = 0).

The total force is seen to act only in the y-axis, since it only has a y-component equivalent to 1.732 times the force due to each of the Q particles on q.

<em>The total force on the particle with charge q is therefore perpendicular to the bottom of the triangle.</em>

How is energy measured?​
stepladder [879]

Because a Btu is so small, energy is usually measured in millions of Btus. 1 Btu = the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of one pound of water (which is equivalent to one pint) by one degree Fahrenheit. This is roughly the heat produced from burning one match.

A charged particle moves at 2.5 × 104 m/s at an angle of 25° to a magnetic field that has a field strength of 8.1 × 10–2 T. If t
nekit [7.7K]

the magnitude of charge=q=8.76 x 10⁻⁵C

Explanation:

the magnetic force Fm is given by

Fm= q V B sinθ

q= charge

v= velocity= 2.5 x 10⁴ m/s

B= magnetic field strength= 8.1 x 10⁻²T

Fm= magnetic force= 7.5 x 10⁻² N

θ=25°

so 7.5 x 10⁻² =q (2.5 x 10⁴ ) (8.1 x 10⁻²) sin25

q=8.76 x 10⁻⁵C
