Answer:

\vec{F}_x = \frac{2KQqa}{(a^2 + y^2)^{3/2}} \^x

Explanation:

The Coulomb's Law gives the force by the charges:

\vec{F} = K\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}\^r

Let us denote the positon of the charge q on the y-axis as 'y'.

The force between 'Q' and'q' is

F_1 = K\frac{Qq}{x^2 + y^2}\\F_1_x = F_1\cos(\theta)

where Θ is the angle between F_1 and x-axis.

F_1_x = K\frac{Qq}{x^2 + y^2}(\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}}) = \frac{KQqa}{(a^2 + y^2)^{3/2}}

whereas

F_2_x = K\frac{-Qq}{a^2 + y^2}(-\frac{a}{\sqrt{a^2 + y^2}}) = \frac{KQqa}{(a^2 + y^2)^{3/2}}

Finally, the x-component of the net force is

\vec{F}_x = \frac{2KQqa}{(a^2 + y^2)^{3/2}} \^x

Give two examples of chemical energy being transformed into electrical energy
julsineya [31]
It can be used to create electricity and heat and can be found in propane , jet fuel, gasoline and other products. Wood - Dry wood stores chemical energy . This chemical energy is released as the wood burns, and it is burns, and it is converted into heat, which is also called thermal energy, and light energy. ( hope this be helpful)

A model engine accelerated forward from rest along a straight track at 10.0 m/s2 for 3.0 seconds. It then accelerates coward at
Mrac [35]

Answer:

17.2 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a₁ = 10.0 m/s²

t₁ = 3.0 s

a₂ = 16 m/s²

t₂ = 5.0 s

a₃ = -12 m/s²

v₃ = 0 m/s

Find: t

First, find v₁:

v₁ = a₁t₁ + v₀

v₁ = (10.0 m/s²) (3.0 s) + (0 m/s)

v₁ = 30 m/s

Next, find v₂:

v₂ = a₂t₂ + v₁

v₂ = (16 m/s²) (5.0 s) + (30 m/s)

v₂ = 110 m/s

Finally, find t₃:

v₃ = a₃t₃ + v₂

(0 m/s) = (-12 m/s²) t₃ + (110 m/s)

t₃ = 9.2 s

The total time is:

t = t₁ + t₂ + t₃

t = 3.0 s + 5.0 s + 9.2 s

t = 17.2 s

Round as needed.
