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.

Anna11 [10]

Boyle's law says that the volume of a gas varies inversely with the pressure. When the volume of a certain gas is 4l , the pressure is 720 kpa (kilopascals). What is the pressure when the volume is 10l ?

Does the mass of a pendulum affects the period of oscillation
pshichka [43]
Mass does not affect the pendulum's swing. The longer the length of string, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period, or back and forth swing of the pendulum. The greater the amplitude, or angle, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period.

 State how a ray of light can travel from air into glass without bending?
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

If you shine a beam of light (a bundle of parallel rays) through the air, it will travel in a straight line. Rays of light usually travel in straight lines until they hit something. If a ray of light hits the surface of a sheet of glass, some light will be reflected by the surface of the glass.

A spring of spring constant k is attached to a support at the bottom of a ramp that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. A bloc
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy

Energy lost  by the spring, W=Kinetic energy gained, KE+Potential energy gained, PE+Work done by friction, Fr

0.5kd^{2}=0.5mv^{2}+mgLsin\theta+\mu_{k}mgcos\theta x

x(mgsin\theta+\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)=0.5kd^{2}

x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}

The required distance from A to B is x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}

The mass of an atom is ________________________.
alexandr402 [8]
The mass of an atom comes from the protons and neutrons that is found in the nucleus. The number of protons is the atomic number of an element. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the mass of an atom. For example, sodium’s atomic number is 11. This will tell us that sodium has 11 protons in it. The atomic mass of sodium is 23. So subtract 23 form 11 gives us 12. Therefore, there are 12 neutrons in sodium.
