Complete Question

Three equal point charges are held in place as shown in the figure below

If F1 is the force on q due to Q1 and F2 is the force on q due to Q2, how do F1 and F2 compare? Assume that n=2.

A) F1=2F2

B) F1=3F2

C) F1=4F2

D) F1=9F2

Answer:

D) F1=9F2

Explanation:

We are told in the question that there are three equal point charges.

q, Q1, Q2 ,

q = Q1 = Q2

From the diagram we see the distance between the points d

q to Q1 = d

Q1 to Q2 = nd

Assuming n = 2

= 2 × d = 2d

Sum of the two distances = d + 2d = 3d

F1 is the force on q due to Q1 and

F2 is the force on q due to Q2,

Since we have 3 equal point charges and a total sum of distance which is 3d

Hence,

F1 = 9F2

Consider an isolated system, by which we mean a system free of external forces. If the sum of the particle energies in the syste

Airida [17]

Answer:

The system's potential energy is -147 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Energy = 147 J

We know that,

System is isolated and it is free from external forces.

So, the work done by the external forces on the system should be equal to zero.

$W=0$

We need to calculate the system's potential energy

Using thermodynamics first equation

$\Delta U=W-\Delta E$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta U=0-147$

$\Delta U=-147\ J$

Hence, The system's potential energy is -147 J.

a 90 kg architect is standing 2 meters from the center of a scaffold help up by a rope on both sides. the scaffold is 6m long an

Mademuasel [1]

We can solve the problem by requiring the equilibrium of the forces and the equilibrium of torques.

1) Equilibrium of forces:
$T_1 - W_p - W_s + T_2 =0$
where
$W_p = (90kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=883 N$ is the weight of the person
$W_s = (200kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=1962 N$ is the weight of the scaffold
Re-arranging, we can write the equation as
$T_1 = 2845 N-T_2$ (1)

2) Equilibrium of torques:
$T_1 \cdot 3 m - W_p \cdot 2 m - T_2 \cdot 3m =0$
where 3 m and 2 m are the distances of the forces from the center of mass of the scaffold.
Using $W_p = 883 N$ and replacing T1 with (1), we find
$2845 N \cdot 3 m - T_2 \cdot 3 m - 833 N \cdot 2 m - T_2 \cdot 3 m=0$
from which we find
$T_2 = 1128 N$

And then, substituting T2 into (1), we find
$T_1 = 1717 N$

MissTica

Answer:

Visible Light and Radio waves

Explanation:

The earth's atmosphere is transparent to a few windows in the electromagnetic spectrum. it is completely transparent to allow observation from the ground in visible light rang 380 to 740 nano meters. Also in the range of radio wave as communication are done from space to ground in the form of radio waves.

it is Partially transparent to Microwave and infrared range.

You are testing a new amusement park roller coaster with an empty car with a mass 120 kg. One part of the track is a vertical lo

Kay [80]

Answer:

- 5436 J

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 120 kg

radius of loop, r = 12 m

velocity at the bottom (A) = Va = 25 m/s

Velocity at the top(B) = Vb = 8 m/s

Vertical distance from A to B = diameter of loop, h = 2 x 12 = 24 m

by use of Work energy theorem

Work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy of the body

Work done by the force + Work done by the friction = Kinetic energy at B - kinetic energy at A

- m x g x h + Work done by friction = 0.5 x 120 x (Vb^2 - Va^2)

- 120 x 9.8 x 24 + Work done by friction = 60 x (64 - 625)

- 28224 + Work done by friction = - 33660

Work done by friction = -33660 + 28224 = - 5436 J
