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>

What is the speed of an electron that has been accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 1020 V?
sashaice [31]
<span>a. KE in electron volts is 1020 eV. 
b. KE in Joules is e(1020) = (1.6022E-19)(1020) = 1.634E-16 
c. KE = (1/2)mv^2, so v = sqrt[2*KE/m] = 18.94E6 m/s

note: m is the mass of an electron = 9.109e-31 kg

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

Which of these is an example of acceleration? A a bicyclist turning around a corner B a car traveling south with its cruise cont
Airida [17]

The answer is A.

Acceleration means when you go faster in speed. Since the bicyclist is turning, he has to slow down but when he finishes turning, he is going to pedal harder and gain more speed. This is called Acceleration.

Best of Luck!

Which statement best describes metallic bonding
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

It's a type of chemical bonding that rises from the electrostatic attractive force between conduction electrons and positively charged metal bars. It can also be described as the sharing of free electrons among a structure of positively charged ions
