Answer:

Fx=486.58(-i)*10^{-2} NN: Resulting force on Q in the direction of the x axis

Fy=162.49j(j)*10^{-2}N: Resulting force on Q in the direction of the y axis

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need 3 basic concepts:

1.Coulomb's law:

Two point charges (q1, q2) separated by a distance (r) exert a mutual force (F) whose magnitude is determined by the following formula:

F=k*(\frac{q1*q2}{r^{2} } ) Formula (1)

K=8.99*10^{9} \frac{N*m^{2} }{C^{2} }: Coulomb constant

q 1,q2=charge in Coulombs (C)  

The direction of F is determined by the unit vector ( r_{u}) in the direction of  F

r=r_{x} +r_{y}: position vector in the direction of F

r= (x2-x1)i+( y2-y1)j

The points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) represent the position coordinates of the charges .

The sense of force depends on the sign of q1 and q2:

When the charges have opposite signs the force is attractive.

When the charges have an equal sign, the force is repulsion

2. Newton's third law: law of action and reaction

The magnitude of the force exerted by q1 on q2 is equal to the force exerted by q2 on q1, and these forces have the opposite direction.

<h3>F1-2=-F2-1 </h3>

Problem development

We have the forces exerted by the charges q1 + and q2 + on the load Q-.

The forces F1 and F2 on the load Q are attractive forces, Because of this the force comes out of Q and is directed towards q1 and q2

Calculation of vector r1 : points Q(0.4,0.15) , q1(0,0.3)

r1= (0- 0.4)i+(0.3-1.5)j  

r1=-0.4i+0.15j  

magnitude of r1

r1=\sqrt{-0.4^{2}+0.15^{2}  } =\sqrt{0.16+0.0225} =0.1825m

Calculation of vector r2 : points(0.4,0.15) (0,-0.3)

r2= (0- 0.4)i+(-0.3-1.5)j  

r2=(-0.4i-0.45j) m

magnitude of r2

r2=\sqrt{-0.4^{2}+(-0.45)^{2}  } =\sqrt{0.16+0.2025} =0.6 m

We apply formula 1 to calculate the magnitudes of F1 and F2 with the known data :

q1 = q2 = 2μC , r1= 0.1825m ,r2=0.6m,

K=8.99*10^{9} \frac{N*m^{2} }{C^{2} }

1 μC=10^{-6} C

F1=k*(2*10^{-6} *4*10^{-6} )/(0.1825^{2} )

F1=k*240.195*10^{-12}

F1=8.99*10^{9}  *240.195*10^{-12}=2159.352*10^{-3} =215.93*10^{-2} N

F2=k*(2*10^{-6}*4*10^{-6}) /(0.6)^{2}

F2=8.99*10^{9} *22.2*10^{-12} =199.77*10^{-3} =19,97*10^{-2} N

Calculation of the total electric force (F) exerted by the charges q1 and q2 on the charge Q

r_{u}=(r_{x} +r_{y} )/r: unit vector in the direction of r

F=F1(r_{u1})+F2(r_{u2} )

ru=(rx+ry)/r

F=\frac{215.93*(-0.4i+0.15j)}{0.1825} +\frac{19.93*(-0.4i-0.45j}{0.6} *10^{-2} N

F=(-473.27i+177.47j-13.31i-14.98j) ))*10e-2 N

F=(-486.58i+162.49j)*10^{-2} N

Answer:

Fx=486.58(-i)*10^{-2} NN: Resulting force on Q in the direction of the x axis

Fy=162.49j(j)*10^{-2}N: Resulting force on Q in the direction of the y axis

Calculate the specific heat of a metal from the following data. A container made of the metal has a mass of 3.8 kg and contains
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

C = 771.35 J/kg°C

Explanation:

Here, e consider the conservation of energy equation. The conservation of energy principle states that:

Heat Given by Metal Piece = Heat Absorbed by Water + Heat Absorbed by Container

Since,

Heat Given or Absorbed by a material = m C ΔT

Therefore,

m₁CΔT₁ = m₂CΔT₂ + m₃C₃ΔT₃

where,

m₁ = Mass of Metal Piece = 2.3 kg

C = Specific Heat of Metal = ?

ΔT₁ = Change in temperature of metal piece = 165°C - 18°C = 147°C

m₂ = Mass of Metal Container = 3.8 kg

ΔT₂ = Change in temperature of metal piece = 18°C - 15°C = 3°C

m₃ = Mass of Water = 20 kg

C₃ = Specific Heat of Water = 4200 J/kg°C

ΔT₃ = Change in temperature of water = 18°C - 15°C = 3°C

Therefore,

(2.3 kg)(C)(147°C) = (3.8 kg)(C)(3°C) + (20 kg)(4186 J/kg°C)(3°C)

C[(2.3 kg)(147°C) - (3.8 kg)(3°C)] = 252000 J

C = 252000 J/326.7 kg°C

<u>C = 771.35 J/kg°C</u>
