Answer:

a) E_net = 0

b) E_net = 2663.7 N/C

c) E_net = 525.915 N/C

d) E_net = 1380.864 N/C

Explanation:

Given:

- The positions of charges are = ( 0.15 , 0 ) & (-0.15 , 0 )

- Both charges have equal magnitude Q = +6*10^-19 C

Find:

Find the magnitude of the electric field at:

(a) the origin;

(b) x = 0.300 m, y = 0;

(c) x = 0.150 m, y = -0.400 m;

(d) x = 0, y = 0.200 m.

Solution:

- The Electric field generated by an charged particle Q at a distance r is given by:

                                 E = k*Q / r^2

- Where, k is the coulomb's constant = 8.99 * 10^9

Part a) @ ( 0 , 0 )

- First we see that the charges +Q_1 and +Q_2 produce an electric field equal but opposite in nature because the distance r from origin and magnitude of charge is same. So the sum of Electric fields:

                                 E_1 + E_3 = 0

Part b) @ ( 0.3 , 0 )

- The Electric field due to charge Q_1 is expressed by:

                                  E_1 = k*Q_1 / r_1^2

Where the distance r from first charge to ( 0.3 , 0 ) is:

                                  r_1 = 0.3 - 0.15 = 0.15 m

- The Electric field due to charge Q_2 is expressed by:

                                  E_2 = k*Q_2 / r_2^2

Where the distance r from second charge to ( 0.3 , 0 ) is:

                                  r_2 = 0.3 - (-0.15) = 0.45 m

- The net Electric Field at point ( 0.3 , 0 ) is:

                                  E_net = E_1 + E_2

                                  E_net = k*Q* ( ( 1 / r_1^2) + ( 1 / r_2^2) )

Plug values in:

                                 E_net = (8.99*10^9)*6*10^-9* ( ( 1 / 0.15^2) + ( 1 / 0.45^2)))

                                 E_net = 2663.7 N/C

Part c) @ ( 0.15 , -0.4 )

- The Electric field due to charge Q_1 is expressed by:

                                  E_1 = k*Q_1 / r_1^2

Where the distance r from first charge to ( 0.15 , -0.4 ) is:

                                  r_1 = 0.4 m

- The Electric field due to charge Q_2 is expressed by:

                                  E_2 = k*Q_2 / r_2^2

Where the distance r from second charge to ( 0.15 , -0.4 ) is:

                                  r_2 = sqrt (0.3^2 + 0.4^2) = 0.5 m

- The net Electric Field at point ( 0.15 , -0.4 ) is:

                                  E_vertical = E_1 + E_2*sin(a)

                                  E_horizontal = E_2*cos(a)

Where,  a is the angle between x -axis and point  ( 0.15 , -0.4 ):

                                  cos(a) = 0.3 / r_2 = 0.3/0.5 = 3/5

                                  sin(a) = 0.4 / r_2 = 0.4/0.5 = 4/5

Hence,

                              E_vertical = k*Q* ( ( 1 / r_1^2) + ( sin(a)/ r_2^2)

                              E_v = (8.99*10^9)*6*10^-9* ( ( 1 / 0.4^2) + ( 0.8 / 0.5^2 )

                              E_v = 509.733 N/C

And,

                              E_Horizontal = k*Q* ( ( 1 / r_1^2) + ( sin(a)/ r_2^2)

                              E_h = (8.99*10^9)*6*10^-9*( 0.6 / 0.5^2 )

                              E_h = 129.456 N/C  

Hence,      

                              E_net = sqrt ( E_vertical^2 + E_horizontal^2)

                              E_net = sqrt ( 509.733^2 + 129.456^2)

                              E_net = 525.915 N/C

                                 

Part d) @ ( 0 , 0.2 )

- The Electric field due to charge Q_1 is expressed by:

                                  E_1 = k*Q_1 / r_1^2

Where the distance r from first charge to ( 0 , 0.2 ) is:

                                  r_1 = sqrt (0.15^2 + 0.2^2) = 0.25 m

- The Electric field due to charge Q_2 is expressed by:

                                  E_2 = k*Q_2 / r_2^2

Where the distance r from second charge to ( 0 , 0.2 ) is:

                                  r_2 = sqrt (0.15^2 + 0.2^2) = 0.25 m

- The net Electric Field at point ( 0 , 0.2 ) is:

                                  E_vertical = E_1*sin(a) + E_2*sin(a)

                                  E_vertical = 2*E*sin(a)

                                  E_horizontal = 0 ... Equal but opposite magnitude

Where,  a is the angle between x -axis and point  ( 0 , 0.2 ):

                                sin(a) = 0.2 / r_2 = 0.2/0.25 = 4/5                                

Hence,

                              E_vertical = 2*k*Q*sin(a)*( 1 / r_1^2)

                              E_v = 2*0.8*(8.99*10^9)*6*10^-9* ( 1 / 0.25^2)

                              E_v = 1380.864 N/C  

Hence,      

                              E_net = E_vertical                              

                              E_net = 1380.864 N/C

The law of universal gravitation states that a gravitational force exists between all objects in the universe. This force is dir
Ber [7]

Answer: D. it has been demonstrated to be without exception under certain stated conditions.

Explanation:

A <u>Law</u> is an affirmation (something established) based on repeated long-term observation of a phenomenon that has been studied and verified.  

That is: A law is present in all known theories and therefore is considered universal. In addition, a law can not be refuted, nor changed, because its precepts have been proven through various studies.  

<u>Unlike theory</u>, which is the set of rules and principles that describe and explain a particular phenomenon and <u>is subject to changes as new evidence emerges that gives meaning to it.  </u>

Then, based on what is explained above, the law of universal gravitation is a statement that exists because it was rigorously tested and verified, therefore it can not be refuted.

As you move farther away from a source emitting a pure tone, the ___________ of the sound you hear decreases.
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

frequency

Explanation:

The phenomenon of apparent change in frequency due to the relation motion between the source and the observer is called Doppler's effect.

So, when we move farther, the frequency of sound decreases. The formula of the Doppler's effect is  

f' = \frac{v + v_o}{v+ v_s} f

where, v is the velocity of sound, vs is the velocity of source and vo is the velocity of observer, f is the true frequency. f' is the apparent frequency.

The position-time equation for a certain train is
astraxan [27]

Answer:

a=4.8m/s^2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the acceleration in terms of position is defined as its second derivative:

a=\frac{d^2x(t)}{dt^2}=\frac{d^2}{dt^2}(2.9+8.8t+2.4t^2)

The purpose here is derive x(t) twice as follows:

a=\frac{d^2x(t)}{dt^2}=\frac{d}{dt}(8.8+2*2.4*t)\\ \\a=4.8m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration turns out 4.8 meters per squared seconds.

Best regards.
