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

A small glider is coasting horizontally when suddenly a very heavy piece of cargo falls out of the bottom of the plane.
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

Explanation:

Just to make it clear, the question is as follows from what I understand.

A small glider is coasting horizontally when suddenly a very heavy piece of cargo falls out of the bottom of the plane.  You can neglect air resistance.

Just after the cargo has fallen out:

a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

b. The cargo slows down but the plane does not change speed.

c. Neither the cargo nor the plane change speed.

d. The plane speeds up and the cargo slows down.

e. Both the cargo and the plane speed up.

And we are requested to choose the right answer under the given conditions. We know the glider has no motor, then it must be in free fall movement, then it is experiencing some force that pulls it to the from due to the gravity effect on it, and a force in general is calculated by

F=m*a, m:= mass of the object, a:= acceleration.

Here we are only considering the horizontal effect of the forces, then since the mass is reduced the acceleration must increase to compensate and maintain  the equilibrium of the forces, then the glider being lighter can travel faster due to the acceleration. On the other hand by the time the cargo left the glider there was no acceleration and the speed it had at the moment he left the plane continues, then the cargo does not change its speed, then horizontally speaking the answer would be a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.
