Answer:

72.16 N

Explanation:

Given:

q₁ = -53.0 μC

q₂ = 105 μC

q₃ = -88.0 μC

q₁ to q₂ = 0.50 m

q₂ to q₃ = 0.95 m

To find:

Net force on q₃

Solution:

First compute net electric field on q₃

E = F/q = k.Q/d²

The formula of electric field at q₃:

E = k.Q / r²

Where

r is distance

Q is magnitude of charge

k is a constant with a value of 8.99 x 10⁹ N m²/C²

When

q₂ to q₃ = 0.95m and

q₂ = 105 μC then

Find electric field due to charge q₂

E = ( (8.99 x 10⁹)x( 105 x 10⁻⁶) ) / 0.95²

= (8990000000 x 0.000105) / 0.9025

= 943950 / 0.9025

= 1045927.977839

= 1.046 x 10⁶ N/C

This interprets that it will act or point away from q₂

q₁ to q₂= 0.50m

q₂ to q₃ = 0.95m and

q₁ = -53 μC then

Find electric field due to charge q₁

E = (8.99 x 10⁹) x (53 x 10⁻⁶) / (0 .50 + 0.95)²

= (8990000000 x 0.000053) / (1.45)²

= 476470 /2.1025

= 226620.689655

= 0.227 x 10⁶ N/C

This interprets that it will act or point towards q₁

Since these fields are opposite in direction.

Compute Net Field

Net Field = 1.046 x 10⁶ - 0.227 x 10⁶ N/C

= 1046000 - 227000

= 819000

= 0.819 x 10⁶

≈ 0.82 x 10⁶

This interprets that it will act or point away from q₂

Compute force on q3

q₃ E = 88 x 10⁻⁶ x 0.82 x 10⁶

= 88000000 x 820000

= 72160000000000

= 72.16 N

Force on -ive charge in a field is always in a direction opposite to direction of field

So this interprets that direction of this field will be towards q₂.

A pneumatic system consists of several identical 1.5 inch diameter cylinders to lift 450-pound pallets in a warehouse. the gauge

DerKrebs [107]

The applicable equation:

P = F/A

P = pressure
F = Force or weight
A = surface area

Pressure on each cylinder = (W/n)/A
Where n = number of cylinders. Additionally, pressure in the reservoir is equivalent to the pressure in each cylinder.
Net pressure = 75 - 14.7 = 60.3 psi

Therefore,
60.3 = (W/n)/A = (450/n)/(πD^2/4) = (450/n)/(π*1.5^2/4) = (450/n)/(1.7671)
60.3*1.7671 = 450/n
106.03 = 450/n
n = 450/106.3 = 4.244 ≈ 5

The number of cylinders is 5.

What is the wavelength of microwave of 3 x 10 9 Hz frequency?

jok3333 [9.3K]

The wavelength of a microwave of 3 x 10^9 Hz frequency is 0.1 m.

The wavelength of a microwave of 3 x 10^9 Hz frequency is calculated using the equation λ = c/f, where λ is the wavelength, c is the speed of light, and f is the frequency.

The speed of light is approximately 3 x 10^8 m/s. Therefore, the wavelength of a microwave of 3 x 10^9 Hz frequency can be calculated as follows:

λ = 3 x 10^8 m/s/3 x 10^9 Hz

= 0.1 m.

Therefore,the wavelength of a microwave of 3 x 10^9 Hz frequency is 0.1 m.

Microwaves are electromagnetic waves that have a frequency between 300 MHz to 300 GHz and a wavelength from 1 mm to 1 m. Microwaves have a variety of uses, including communications, radar, and cooking. Microwave radiation is absorbed by water, fats, and sugars, which is why it is used for cooking.

The frequency of a microwave is usually expressed in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (GHz). One megahertz is equal to one million hertz and one gigahertz is equal to one billion hertz. The frequency of a microwave determines its wavelength; the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength.

Three uniform spheres of radius 2R, R, and 3R are placed in a line, in the order given, so their centers are lined up and the sp

kolezko [41]

Answer:

x = 2.33 R from the center of mass of the smallest sphere.

Explanation:

Due to the symmetry of the spheres, the center of mass of any of them, is located just in the center of the sphere.

If we align the centers of the spheres with the x-axis, the center of mass of any of them will have only coordinates on the x-axis, so the center of mass of the system will have coordinates on the x-axis only also.

By definition, the x-coordinate of the center of mass of a set of discrete masses m₁, m₂, m₃, can be calculated as follows:

$Xcm = \frac{m1*x1+m2*x2+m3*x3}{m1+m2+3}$

In this case, we need to get the coordinates of the center of mass of each sphere:

If we place the spheres in such a way that the center of the first sphere has the x-coordinate equal to its radius (so it is just touching the origin), we will have:

x₁ = 2*R

For the second sphere, the center will be located at a distance equal to the diameter of the first sphere plus its own radius, as follows:

x₂ = 4*R + R = 5*R

Finally, for the third sphere, the center will be located at a distance equal to the diameter of the first sphere, plus the diameter of the second sphere, plus its own radius, as follows:

x₃ = 4*R + 2*R + 3*R = 9*R

We can calculate the mass of each sphere (assuming that all are from the same material, with a constant density), as the product of the density and the volume:

m = ρ*V

For a sphere, the volume can be calculated as follows:

$\frac{4}{3} *\pi *(r)^{3}$

So, we can calculate the masses of the spheres, as follows:

m₁ = ρ* $\frac{4}{3} *\pi *(2r)^{3}$

m₂ = ρ* $\frac{4}{3} *\pi *(r)^{3}$

m₃ = ρ* $\frac{4}{3} *\pi *(3r)^{3}$

The total mass can be calculated as follows:

M= ρ* $\frac{4}{3} *\pi$ * (8*r³ + r³ + 27*r³) =ρ* $\frac{4}{3} *\pi$ * 36*r³

Replacing by the values, and simplifying common terms, we can calculate the x-coordinate of the center of mass of the system as follows:

$Xcm = \frac{m1*x1+m2*x2+m3*x3}{m1+m2+3}$

$Xcm = \frac{(8*R^{3} *2*R)+(R^{3}*(5*R))+27*R^{3}*(9*R))}{36*R^{3} }=\frac{264*R^{4} x}{36*R^{3}} = 7.33 R$

As the x-coordinate of the center fof mass of the entire system is located at 7.33*R from the origin, and the center of mass of the smallest sphere is located at 5*R from the origin, the center of mass of the system is located at a distance d:

d = 7.33*R - 5*R = 2.33 R

Clarify the concept of refrection index with example

Degger [83]

The refractive index is used to measure how much light bends as it goes from one medium to another the refractive index of air =1 as light doesn’t bend in it

When looking into a glass of water with a straw the straw may appear bent or morphed as the water has a different refractive index to air (and the light is passing from air to glass of water)
