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.

Calculate the Force of Gravity acting on an object that has a mass of 1.3 kg. The object is on Earth so use 9.8m/s2 for the acce
sweet-ann [11.9K]
To calculate the gravitational force acting on an object given the mass and the acceleration due to gravity, use the following formula.

Fg = m • g
Fg = 1.3 kg • 9.8 m/s^2
Fg = 12.74 N or about 12.7 N.

The solution is C. 12.7 N.

If you see a sedimentary rock outcrop and red layers of sand are on top of pale yellow layers of sand, what do you know for sure
neonofarm [45]

Answer: The yellow layer is definitely older than the red layer

Explanation: According to Nicolaus Steno's law of superposition and original horizontality. Older rocks underlie younger rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are usually deposited in horizontal layers in which each stratigraphic layer is laid down before another can be deposited upon it.

The red layer, in addition to being older, is also likely to have undergone intense oxidation due to earlier exposure.

An 80 N force causes a spring to compress 0.15 m. What is the spring constant? What is the potential energy of the spring?
Anni [7]
Force = -kx
80N=0.15m * -k
K=-80/0.15=533.333. Spring constant
Energy=1/2kx^2
1/2*(-80/0.15)*80^2=Energy
