The total electrostatic force on charge A is $28 \mu N$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law:

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where:

$k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2}$ is the Coulomb's constant

$q_1, q_2$ are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

Here we have three positively charged particles A,B and C, located at the following positions:

$x_A = 0\\x_B = 10 m\\x_C = 20 m$

The magnitudes of the three charges are:

$q_A = q_B = q_C = 0.5 \mu C = 0.5\cdot 10^{-6}C$

The force exerted by B on A is to the left (because the force between two positive charges is repulsive), and the force exerted by C on A is also to the left (also repulsive). Therefore, the net force on A is just the sum of the two forces exerted by charges B and C:

$F_A = F_{BA} + F_{CA} = k\frac{q_B q_A}{(x_B-x_A)^2}+k\frac{q_C q_A}{(x_C-x_A)^2}=\\=(8.99\cdot 10^9) \frac{(0.5\cdot 10^{-6})^2}{(10)^2}+(8.99\cdot 10^9) \frac{(0.5\cdot 10^{-6})^2}{(20)^2}=2.8\cdot 10^{-5} N = 28 \mu N$

An isotropic point source emits light at wavelength 510 nm, at the rate of 170 W. A light detector is positioned 410 m from the

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

$\frac{dB}{dt} = 3.03 \times 10^6 T/s$

Explanation:

As we know that the power emitted by the source is given as

$P = 170 W$

now we know that

$P = \frac{N}{t} (\frac{hc}{\lambda})$

now we know that energy density is given as

$u = \frac{B^2}{2\mu_0} + \frac{\epsilon_0 E^2}{2}$

now we have

$E = B c$

$u = \frac{B^2}{2\mu_0}$

intensity is defined as

$I = \frac{P}{A}$

now we have

$\frac{I}{c} = u = \frac{B^2}{2\mu_0}$ [/tex]

now we have

$\frac{dB}{dt} = \omega B$

$\frac{dB}{dt} = \frac{2\pi c B}{\lambda}$

$\frac{dB}{dt} = \frac{2\pi c \sqrt{2\mu_0 I}}{\lambda\sqrt c}$

here we have

$I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2}$

$I = \frac{170}{4\pi (410)^2}$

$I = 8.05 \times 10^{-5}$

now we have

$\frac{dB}{dt} = \frac{2\pi\sqrt{2\mu_0 c (8.05 \times 10^{-5})}}{(510 nm)}$

$\frac{dB}{dt} = 3.03 \times 10^6 T/s$

47. What is necessary for differentiation to occur in a planet? a. It must be made of metal and rock. b. It must be made of a mi

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

e. B and C

Explanation:

When the sun ignited in our solar system evaporation of the material closest to the sun took place. The low density material were pushed further. The rocks that remained formed the protoplanets. As, the early solar system was very hot parts of the protoplanets melted. This caused the melted material to flow towards the center of the planet. As the mass of the planet increases this causes more accretion which causes materials of different densities to mix.
