Two equal positive charges q1 = q2 = 2μC are located at x = 0, y = 0.30 m and x = 0, y = -0.30 m, respectively. What are the mag

nitude and direction of the total electric force that qı and q2 exert on a third charge Q = -4 μC at x = 0.40 m, y = 0.15 m?

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

Mama L [17]

Answer:

The answer is "In this information, Enzo will be confident that if any fertilizer is required only for plants".

Explanation:

The Beans plants were members of the group of legumes. Legume flowering plant under which the roots form nodules. These nodules require a specific bacterium called bacteria, which fix nitrogen. Its bacterium transforms nitrogen from the atmosphere into the soil's nitrate. Consequently, for some of its growth, beans do not require fertilizer.

Calculate the separation between the two lowest levels for an O2 molecule in a one-dimensional container of length 5.0 cm. At wh
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The separation between the two lowest levels =  1.24 * 10^{-39}J

The values of n where the energy of molecule reaches 1/2 kT at 300K = 2.2 * 10^{9}

The separation at this level = 1.8 * 10^{-30}J

Explanation:

Knowing the formula

En = \frac{n^{2} h^{2}  }{8 mL^{2} }

Mass of oxygen molecule

m (O2) = 32 amu * \frac{1.6605 * 10^{-27 kg} }{1 amu}

So the energy diference between the two lowest levels:

E2 - E1 = \frac{3h^{2} }{8mL^{2} }

E2 - E1 =  \frac{3 * (6.626 * 10^{-34} Js)^{2} } {8 * 32 amu * (\frac{1.6605 * 10^{-27 kg} }{1 amu})* (5*10^{-2})^{2}   } = 1.24 * 10^{-39}J

Now we should find n where the energy of molecule reaches 1/2 kT

En = \frac{n^{2} h^{2}  }{8 mL^{2} } = \frac{1}{2}kT

\frac{h^{2}  }{8 mL^{2} } = 4.13 * 10^{-14}J

n^{2} *  (4.13 * 10^{-14}J) = \frac{1}{2} (1.38 * 10^{-23}JK^{-1}) * 300K

n = 2.2 * 10^{9}

by the end is necessary to calculate the separation of the level

En - En-1 = (n^{2} - (n - 1)^{2}) * \frac{h^{2}  }{8 mL^{2} }

              = 1.8 * 10^{-30}J
