A point charge (–5.0 µC) is placed on the x axis at x = 4.0 cm, and a second charge (+5.0 µC) is placed on the x axis at x = –4.

0 cm. What is the magnitude of the electric force on a third charge (+2.5 µC) placed on the y axis at y = 3.0 cm?

Answer:

The magnitude of electric force is  7.2\times10^{-3} N

Explanation:

Coulomb's Law:

The force of attraction or repletion is

  • directly proportional to the products of charges i.e F\propto q_1q_2
  • inversely proportional to the square of distance i.e F\propto \frac{1}{r^2}

\therefore F\propto \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

\Rightarrow F=k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}    [ k is proportional constant=9×10⁹N m²/C²]

There are two types of force applied on Q=+2.5 μC=2.5×10⁻⁶ C

Let F₁ force be applied on Q =+2.5 μC by q₁= -5.0 μC = - 5.0×10⁻⁶ C

and F₂ force  be applied on Q=+2.5 μC by q₂= 5.0 μC= 5.0×10⁻⁶ C

Since the magnitude of F₁ and F₂ are same. Therefore their y component cancel.

If we draw a line from q₁ to Q .

The it forms a triangle whose base = 4.0 cm and altitude =3.0 cm.

Let hypotenuse = r

Therefore, r=\sqrt{altitude^2+base^2} =\sqrt{3^2+4^2} =5

we know,

cos \theta = \frac{base }{hypotenuse}

\Rightarrow cos \theta = \frac{4 }{r}

Total force F_Q = 2.F_1 cos\theta \hat{i}

                         =2k\frac{Qq_1}{r^2} cos\theta \hat i

                         =2\ \frac{9\times1 0^9\times2.5 \times 5\times 10^{-12}}{r^2} \frac{4}{r} \hat i

                         =8\ \frac{9\times10^9\times2.5 \times 5\times 10^{-12}}{5^3} \hat i     [ r=5]

                         =7.2\times10^{-3}\hat i   N

The magnitude of electric force is  7.2\times10^{-3} N

a train is moving with an initial velocity of 30 m/s, the brakes are applied so as to produce a uniform acceleration of -1.5 m/s
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf Time \ in \ which \ train \ will \ come \ to \ rest = 20 \ sec}

Given:

Initial velocity (u) = 30 m/s

Final speed (v) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) = - 1.5 m/,s²

To Find:

Time in which train will come to rest (t).

Explanation:

\sf From \ equation \ of \ motion: \\ \sf \implies \bold{v = u + at} \\ \\ \sf Substituting \ value \ of \ v, \ u \ and \ a:  \\  \sf \implies 0 = 30 + ( - 1.5)(t) \\   \sf  \implies 0 = 30 - 1.5(t) \\  \sf \implies 30 - 1.5(t) = 0 \\  \\  \sf Subtract  \: 30  \: from  \: both  \: sides: \\  \sf \implies (30 -  \boxed{ \sf 30}) - 1.5(t) =  \boxed{ \sf  - 30} \\  \\  \sf 30 - 30 = 0 :  \\  \sf \implies  - 1.5(t) =  - 30 \\  \\  \sf Divide  \: both  \: sides \:  of \:  - 1.5(t) =  - 30 \: by \:  - 1.5 :  \\  \sf \implies  \frac{  - 1.5(t)}{ \boxed{ \sf - 1.5}}  =  \frac{ - 30}{ \boxed{ \sf -1.5 }}  \\  \\  \sf \frac{ \cancel{ \sf 1.5}}{\cancel{ \sf 1.5}}  = 1 :  \\  \sf \implies t =  \frac{ - 30}{ - 1.5}  \\  \\   \sf  \frac{ - 30}{ - 1.5}  =  \frac{\cancel{ \sf 1.5} \times 20}{\cancel{ \sf 1.5}}  = 20 :  \\  \sf  \implies t = 20 \: sec

So,

Time in which train will come to rest = 20 seconds

The spring is compressed a total of 3.0 cm, and used to set a 500 gram cart into motion. Find the speed of the cart at the insta
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

1.15 m/s

Explanation:

Part of the question is missing. Found the missing part on google:

"1. A hanging mass of 1500 grams compresses a spring 2.0 cm.   Find the spring constant in N/m."

Solution:

First of all, we need to find the spring constant. We can use Hooke's law:

F=kx

where

F=mg=(1.5 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=14.7 N is the force applied to the spring (the weight of the hanging mass)

x = 2.0 cm = 0.02 m is the compression of the spring

Solving for k, we find the spring constant:

k=\frac{F}{x}=\frac{14.7}{0.02}=735 N/m

In the second part of the problem, the spring is compressed by

x = 3.0 cm = 0.03 m

So the elastic potential energy of the spring is

U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}(735)(0.03)^2=0.33 J

This energy is entirely converted into kinetic energy of the cart, which is:

U=K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m = 500 g = 0.5 kg is the mass of the cart

v is its speed

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.33)}{0.5}}=1.15 m/s
