Three equal charge 1.8*10^-8 each are located at the corner of an equilateral triangle ABC side 10cm.calculate the electric pote

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

If all these three charges are positive with a magnitude of $1.8 \times 10^{-8}\; \rm C$ each, the electric potential at the midpoint of segment $\rm AB$ would be approximately $8.3 \times 10^{3}\; \rm V$ .

Explanation:

Convert the unit of the length of each side of this triangle to meters: $10\; \rm cm = 0.10\; \rm m$ .

Distance between the midpoint of $\rm AB$ and each of the three charges:

$d({\rm A}) = 0.050\; \rm m$ .
$d({\rm B}) = 0.050\; \rm m$ .
$d({\rm C}) = \sqrt{3} \times (0.050\; \rm m)$ .

Let $k$ denote Coulomb's constant ( $k \approx 8.99 \times 10^{9}\; \rm N \cdot m^{2} \cdot C^{-2}$ .)

Electric potential due to the charge at $\rm A$ : $\displaystyle \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm A})}$ .

Electric potential due to the charge at $\rm B$ : $\displaystyle \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm B})}$ .

Electric potential due to the charge at $\rm A$ : $\displaystyle \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm C})}$ .

While forces are vectors, electric potentials are scalars. When more than one electric fields are superposed over one another, the resultant electric potential at some point would be the scalar sum of the electric potential at that position due to each of these fields.

Hence, the electric field at the midpoint of $\rm AB$ due to all these three charges would be:

$\begin{aligned}& \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm A})} + \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm B})} + \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm C})} \\ &= k\, \left(\frac{q}{d({\rm A})} + \frac{q}{d({\rm B})} + \frac{q}{d({\rm C})}\right) \\ &\approx 8.99 \times 10^{9}\; \rm N \cdot m^{2} \cdot C^{-2} \\ & \quad \quad \times \left(\frac{1.8 \times 10^{-8} \; \rm C}{0.050\; \rm m} + \frac{1.8 \times 10^{-8} \; \rm C}{0.050\; \rm m} + \frac{1.8 \times 10^{-8} \; \rm C}{\sqrt{3} \times (0.050\; \rm m)}\right) \\ &\approx 8.3 \times 10^{3}\; \rm V\end{aligned}$ .

We use towels to dry our body after taking a shower,why?<br><br>

9966 [12]

Answer:

A wet body has a relatively high concentration of water. When this is transferred to a towel, the large surface area of the towel fabric distributes the water molecules over a much greater surface area, so the relative concentration is lower.

A force vector points due east and has a magnitude of 140 newtons. A second force is added to . The resultant of the two vectors

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

(a) When the resultant force is pointing along east line, the magnitude and direction of the second force is 280 N East

(b) When the resultant force is pointing along west line, the magnitude and direction of the second force is 560 N West

Explanation:

Given;

a force vector points due east, $F_1$ = 140 N

let the second force = $F_2$

let the resultant of the two vectors = F

(a) When the resultant force is pointing along east line

the second force must be pointing due east

$F = F_1 + F_2\\\\F_2 = F - F_1\\\\F_2 = 420 \ N - 140 \ N\\\\F_2 = 280 \ N$

$F_2 = 280 \ East$

(b) When the resultant force is pointing along west line

the second force must be pointing due west and it must have a greater magnitude compared to the first force in order to have a resultant in west line.

$F = F_2 - F_1\\\\F_2 = F + F_1\\\\F_2 = 420 \ N + 140 \ N\\\\F_2 = 560 \ N$

$F_2 = 560 \ West$

Under favorable circumstances, including reaction time, a motor vehicle with good brakes going 50 miles per hour can be stopped

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

about 229 feet.

Explanation:

According to my research on the information provided by the drivers educational book, It is said that a motor vehicle with good brakes that is going at 50 miles per hour can be stopped within about 229 feet. This is dependent 100% on having good brakes as well as there being normal driving conditions (on pavement with no rain or other weather that may affect driving conditions).

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.
