Four +2 μC charges are placed at the positions (10 cm, 0 cm), (−10 cm, 0 cm), (0 cm, 10 cm), and (0 cm, −10 cm) such that they f

orm a diamond shape centered on the origin. A charge of +5 μC is placed at the origin. If the force between a +2 μC and a +5 μC charge separated by 10 cm has a magnitude of 9 N, which of the following can we say about the force on the +5 μC charge at the origin in this case?

Answer:

The force will be zero

Explanation:

Due to the symmetric location of the +2μC charges the forces the excert over the +5μC charge will cancel each other resulting in a net force with a magnitude of zero.However in this case it would be an unstable equilibrium, very vulnerable to a kind of bucking. If the central charge is not perfectly centered on the vertical axis the forces will have components in that axis that will add together instead of canceling each other.

The motion of a car on a position time graph is represented with a horizontal tine What does this indicate about the car's motio
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Position-Time graphs display the motion of a object by showing the changes of velocity with respect to time.

The motion of a car on a position-time graph that is represented with a horizontal line indicates that the car has stopped moving.

A straight line with a positive slope indicates that the car is moving at a constant velocity, and thus the slope is constant. On the other hand, a curve with a changing slope, shows that the velocity is changing.

If you pull a resistant puppy with its leash in a horizontal direction, it takes 80 N to get it going. You can then keep it movi
netineya [11]

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction between the puppy and the floor is 0.7273.

Explanation:

The horizontal force applied to move the puppy from a steady state has to be greater than the force of static friction, after it is moving the force needs to be equal to be greater than the force of dynamic friction in order to maintain its movement. The force of static friction is given by:

F_s = \mu_s*N

Where F_s is the static friction force, \mu_s is the coefficient of static friction and N is the normal force. Since there's no angle on the flor the normal force is equal to the weight of the puppy, therefore, N = 110\text{ N}, to make the puppy moving we need to use a force of 80 N, therefore, F_s = 80 \text{ N}, so we can solve for the coefficient as shown below:

80 = \mu_s*110\\\mu_s = \frac{80}{110} = 0.7273\\

The coefficient of static friction between the puppy and the floor is 0.7273.

Hooke’s law states that the distance that a spring is stretched by hanging object varies directly as the mass of the object. If
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

d_{2} = 33.33 cm

Explanation:

Given:

When mass, m_{1} =21 kg

          distance travelled is  d_{1}  = 140 cm

When mass, m_{2} =5 kg

         distance travelled is  d_{2}  = ?

Hooke's law state that within elastic limit, when an external force is applied to a body, the body gets deformed and when the force is released the gets back to its original form.

Therefore according to the question,

\frac{d_{1}}{m_{1}}=\frac{d_{2}}{m_{2}}

\frac{140}{21}=\frac{d_{2}}{5}

d_{2} = 33.33 cm

Distance travelled is 33.33 cm when mass is 5 kg.

The radius of the thinner wire is 0.22 mm and the radius of the thick wire is 0.55 mm. There are 4.0 x 1028 mobile electrons per
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

0.2631 N/C

Explanation:

Given that:

The radius of the wire r = 0.22 mm = 0.22 × 10⁻³ m

The radius of the thick wire  r' = 0.55 mm = 0.55 × 10⁻³ m

The numbers of electrons passing through B, N = 6.0  × 10¹⁸ electrons

Electron mobility  μ =  6.0 x 10-4 (m/s)/(N/C)

= 0.0006

The number of electron flow per second is calculated as follows:

I = \frac{q}{t}

I = \frac{Ne}{t}

I = \frac{6*10^{18}(1.6*10^{-18})C}{1 \ s}

I = 0.96 \ A

The magnitude of the electric field is:

E = \frac{I}{ \mu n eA}

E = \frac{I}{ \mu n e(\pi r^2)}

E = \frac{0.96}{(0.0006 m/s N/C ) (4*10^{28})(1.6*10^{-19}C)(0.55*10^{-3}m)^2}

E = 0.2631 N/C
