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

02: Describes what happens to the strength of gravity if the mass between two objects
Dmitriy789 [7]

Explanation:

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. ... increases, the force of gravity decreases. If the distance is doubled, the force of gravity is one-fourth as strong as before.

rectangular plate, whose streamwise dimension (or chord c) is 0.2 m and whose width (or span b) is 1.8 m, is mounted in a wind t
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

See explaination for the details of the answer.

Explanation:

Density is a measurement that compares the amount of matter an object has to its volume. An object with much matter in a certain volume has high density An object with little matter in the same amount of volume has a low density. Density is found by dividing the mass of an object by its volume.

The Calculate of the chordwise distribution of the skin friction coefficient and the displacement thickness is done and represented in the attachment.

Please kindly check attachment for the step by step answer.
