Answer:

51.82

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert both vectors to cartesian coordinates:

Va = 36 < 53° = (36*cos(53), 36*sin(53))

Va = (21.67, 28.75)

Vb = 47 < 157° = (47*cos(157), 47*sin(157))

Vb = (-43.26, 18.36)

The sum of both vectors will be:

Va+Vb = (-21.59, 47.11) Now we will calculate the module of this vector:

$|Va+Vb| = \sqrt{(-21.59)^2+(47.11)^2}=51.82$

Si un cuerpo adquiere una carga de -0,02 C, ha ganado o ha perdido electrones? Cuantos?

sammy [17]

Question :

If a body acquires a charge of -0.02 C, has it gained or lost electrons? Many?

Solution :

We know, charge gained is shown by negative sign.

Since, charged acquired is given as -0.02 C .

Therefore, it is body has gained electrons.

Now, number of electrons is given by :

$n = \dfrac{net\ charge}{charge \ on \ one \ electron}\\\\n = \dfrac{-0.02}{-1.60 \times 10^{-19}}\\\\n = 1.25\times 10^{17}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A third point charge q3 is now positioned halfway between q1 and q2. The net force on q2 now has a magnitude of F2,net = 14.413

natima [27]

Answer:

The value of charge q₃ is 40.46 μC.

Explanation:

Given that.

Magnitude of net force $F=14.413\ N$

Suppose a point charge q₁ = -3 μC is located at the origin of a co-ordinate system. Another point charge q₂ = 7.7 μC is located along the x-axis at a distance x₂ = 8.2 cm from q₁. Charge q₂ is displaced a distance y₂ = 3.1 cm in the positive y-direction.

We need to calculate the distance

Using Pythagorean theorem

$r=\sqrt{x_{2}^2+y_{2}^2}$
