Answer:
Explanation:
First of all we shall calculate electric field near charge 2Q .
electric field due to charge Q = K x Q / (5 x 10⁻² )²
E₁ = KQ / 25 x 10⁻⁴ = KQ x 10⁴ / 25 . It is acting along positive x axis
E₁ = KQ x 10⁴ i / 25
Similarly electric field due to charge 3Q near 2Q
= 3KQ x 10⁴ i / 25 . It is acting along y-axis
E₂ = 3KQ x 10⁴ j / 25
Similarly electric field due to charge 4Q near 2Q
= 4KQ x 10⁴ j / (25 x 2 )
= 2 KQ x 10⁴ / 25 . It is acting acting along north east direction
unit vector in north east direction = ( i + j )/ √2
So E₃ can be represented by
E₃ = 2 KQ x 10⁴ ( i + j ) / 25 x √2
Total field = KQ x 10⁴ i / 25 + 3KQ x 10⁴ j / 25 + 2 KQ x 10⁴ ( i + j ) / ( 25 x √2 )
= KQ x 10⁴ [ i + 3 j + √2 i + √2 j ) / 25
= 400 KQ ( 2.414 i + 4.414 j ) N / C
Force on 2Q = Field x charge = 400 KQ ( 2.414 i + 4.414 j ) x 2Q N
= 800 KQ² ( 2.414 i + 4.414 j ) N
= 800 x 9 x 10⁹ x ( 2.5 x 10⁻⁶ )² x 2.414 x ( i + 2 j ) N
= 108.63 ( i + 2 j ) N .
Magnitude of this force
= 108.63 x √5
= 243 N approx .
Answer:
The remaining percentage of drug concentration is about 88.7% 2 years after manufacture.
Explanation:
Recall the formula for the decay of a substance at an initial concentration at manufacture:
where k is the decay rate (in our case 0.06/year), and t is the elapsed time in years. Therefore, after 2 years since manufacture we have:
This in percent form is 88.7 %. That is, the remaining percentage of drug concentration is about 88.7% 2 years after manufacture.
