Three point charges are arranged on a line. Charge q3 = 5 nC and is at the origin. Charge q2 = - 3 nC and is at x = 4 cm. Charge

q1 is at x = 2 cm. What is q1 (magnitude and sign) if the net force on q3 is zero.

Answer:

q₁ = + 1.25 nC

Explanation:

Theory of electrical forces

Because the particle q₃ is close to two other electrically charged particles, it will experience two electrical forces and the solution of the problem is of a vector nature.

Known data

q₃=5 nC

q₂=- 3 nC

d₁₃=  2 cm

d₂₃ = 4 cm

Graphic attached

The directions of the individual forces exerted by q1 and q₂ on q₃ are shown in the attached figure.

For the net force on q3 to be zero F₁₃ and F₂₃ must have the same magnitude and opposite direction, So,  the charge q₁ must be positive(q₁+).

The force (F₁₃) of q₁ on q₃ is repulsive because the charges have equal signs ,then. F₁₃ is directed to the left (-x).

The force (F₂₃) of q₂ on q₃ is attractive because the charges have opposite signs.  F₂₃ is directed to the right (+x)

Calculation of q1

F₁₃ = F₂₃

\frac{k*q_{1}*q_3 }{(d_{13})^{2}  } = \frac{k*q_{2}*q_3 }{(d_{23})^{2}  }

We divide by (k * q3) on both sides of the equation

\frac{q_{1} }{(d_{13})^{2} } = \frac{q_{2} }{(d_{23})^{2} }

q_{1} = \frac{q_{2}*(d_{13})^{2}   }{(d_{23} )^{2}  }

q_{1} = \frac{5*(2)^{2} }{(4 )^{2}  }

q₁ = + 1.25 nC

A glass bottle of soda is sealed with a screw cap. The absolute pressure of the carbon dioxide inside the bottle is 1.90 x 105 P
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force is 34.59 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Inside pressure P_{in}= 1.90\times10^{5}\ Pa

Area A=3.90\times10^{-4}\ m^2

Outside pressure = 1 atm

We need to calculate the magnitude of the force

Using formula of force

F_{net}=F_{in}-F_{out}

F_{net}=(P_{in}-P_{out})A

Where, P_{in} =inside Pressure

P_{out} =outside Pressure

A = area

Put the value into the formula

F_{net}=(1.90\times10^{5}-1.013\times10^{5})3.90\times10^{-4}

F_{net}=34.59\ N

Hence, The magnitude of the force is 34.59 N.

const2013 [10]

Answer:

Kevin wants to make the firm private

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question in regards to the situation it seems that Kevin wants to make the firm private. Private Firms are companies that are owned by non-governmental entities or instead owned by  a single individual or a very small amount of shareholders. Which is what Kevin seems to be wanting to do since he wants to buy back all the shares of the company so that only his family owns the company.
