Answer:
<em>D. The total force on the particle with charge q is perpendicular to the bottom of the triangle.</em>
Explanation:
The image is shown below.
The force on the particle with charge q due to each charge Q =
we designate this force as N
Since the charges form an equilateral triangle, then, the forces due to each particle with charge Q on the particle with charge q act at an angle of 60° below the horizontal x-axis.
Resolving the forces on the particle, we have
for the x-component
= N cosine 60° + (-N cosine 60°) = 0
for the y-component
= -f sine 60° + (-f sine 60) = -2N sine 60° = -2N(0.866) = -1.732N
The above indicates that there is no resultant force in the x-axis, since it is equal to zero ( = 0).
The total force is seen to act only in the y-axis, since it only has a y-component equivalent to 1.732 times the force due to each of the Q particles on q.
<em>The total force on the particle with charge q is therefore perpendicular to the bottom of the triangle.</em>
Answer:
vₐ = v_c
Explanation:
To calculate the escape velocity let's use the conservation of energy
starting point. On the surface of the planet
Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v_c² - G Mm / R
final point. At a very distant point
Em_f = U = - G Mm / R₂
energy is conserved
Em₀ = Em_f
½ m v_c² - G Mm / R = - G Mm / R₂
v_c² = 2 G M (1 /R - 1 /R₂)
if we consider the speed so that it reaches an infinite position R₂ = ∞
v_c =
now indicates that the mass and radius of the planet changes slightly
M ’= M + ΔM = M ( )
R ’= R + ΔR = R ( )
we substitute
vₐ =
let's use a serial expansion
√(1 ±x) = 1 ± ½ x +…
we substitute
vₐ = v_ c ( )
we make the product and keep the terms linear
vₐ = v_c
