To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 21.1 Coulomb's Law. Three charged particles are placed at each of three corners of an equil

ateral triangle whose sides are of length 4.0 cm . Two of the particles have a negative charge: q1 = -7.8 nC and q2 = -15.6 nC . The remaining particle has a positive charge, q3 = 8.0 nC . What is the net electric force acting on particle 3 due to particle 1 and particle 2?

Answer:

The force felt by charge 3 is F=(-5.6*10⁻⁶,3.36⁻⁵)N

Explanation:

As the superposition principle applies to static charges, we can find the net electric force as the sum of the two forces felt by q3.

Looking at the drawing and knowing that they form an equilateral triangle of lenght 4 we can conclude that each internal angle is 60°.

So, the positions in our coordinate system are:

r_1=(0,0)\\r_2=(4\ cos(60\°),4\ sin(60\°))\\r_3=(4,0)\\

Now  using Coulomb's force:

F_{ij}=\frac{-kq_iq_j}{d^2}(\vv{r}_j-\vv{r}_i)

Where d=4, q1 = -7.8*10⁻⁹C, q2 = -15.6 *10⁻⁹C, q3 = 8.0 *10⁻⁹C, k=8.98*10⁹, e0=8.8*10¹⁰:

Replacing we get 2 equations:

F_{13}=\frac{-kq_1q_3}{d^2}(\vv{r}_1-\vv{r}_3)=\frac{-kq_1q_2}{d^2}(-0.04\ cos(60\°),-0.04\ sin(60\°))\\\\F_{23}=\frac{-kq_2q_3}{d^2}(\vv{r}_1-\vv{r}_3)=\frac{-kq_1q_2}{d^2}(0.04-0.04\ cos(60\°),-0.04\ sin(60\°))\\

To work with the sam

F=∑F_i=3.5*10⁻⁴(0.023,0.032)+7*10⁻⁴(-0.016,0.032)=

=((3.5*10⁻⁴-7*10⁻⁴)*0.016,(3.5*10⁻⁴+7*10⁻⁴)*0.032)=

F=(-5.6*10⁻⁶,3.36⁻⁵)N

Answer:

Concept: Periodic Trends

  1. So we have Li and we have C
  2. Li has is lower in the periodic table and as you progress from s group to p group and eventually d group, the traction and ability to attract electrons increases.
  3. Hence option D

The radder clocked sonic going 300 miles per hour how long will it take him to go 48.1 miles from Miami to Florida
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

9.62 minutes 0r 0.16 of an hour

Explanation:

Speed = distance/time

300mph = 48.1 m/t

xt

300t = 48.1

÷300

t = 48.1/300

t = 0.16033333333 hr

0.16033333333 x 60 = 9.62 minutes

60 minutes in an hour

9.62/60= 0.16033333333 hr

So, around 10 minutes.

Hope this helps!
