Answer:

q1=2*10^-6 C

location is on positive y-axis at y=0.30 m

origin q2=0

q3=4*10^-3

x=0.40 m

F=q1*q2/r^2

The magnitude of force will be 98.97 N

And it will be in the negative y direction.

Answer:

(A) 0.279N at angle 38.02°

(B) 0.701N

(C) 14.19°

Explanation:

(A) The net force on q3 is given as:

F = Fxi + Fyj

Fx is the x component of the force

Fy is the y component of the force

Fx = -F(1, 3)cos(90 - x) + F(2, 3)cos0

Fy = -F(2, 3)cosx - F(2, 3)cos90 = -F(2, 3)cosx

First let us find y and angle x from the diagram.

Using Pythagoras theorem,

y² = 0.3² + 0.4²

y² = 0.25

y = 0.5m

Using SOHCAHTOA to find x,

sinx = 0.4/0.5

x = 53.13°

Electrostatic force, F is given as:

F = kqQ/r²

Where k = Coulumbs constant

F(1,3) = (k*q1*q3) / r²

F(1, 3) = (9 * 10^9 * 2.0 * 10^(-6) * 4.0 * 10^(-6)) / (0.5²)

F(1, 3) = 0.288N

F(2,3) = (k*q2*q3) / r²

F(2, 3) = (9 * 10^9 * 2.0 * 10^(-6) * 4.0 * 10^(-6)) / (0.4²)

F(2, 3) = 0.45N

Therefore,

Fx = -0.288cos36.87 + 0.45

Fx = 0.22N

Fy = 0.288cos53.13

Fy = 0.172N

=> F = 0.22i + 0.172j

The magnitude of the force will be

F(mag) = √(0.22² + 0.172²)

F(mag) = 0.279N

The direction of the force makes will be

tanθ = Fy/Fx

tanθ = 0.172/0.22 = 0.781

θ = 38.02° to the x axis.

(B) q2 = - 2.0 * 10^(-6)

This implies that:

F(2,3) = (k*q2*q3) / r²

F(2, 3) = (9 * 10^9 * -2.0 * 10^(-6) * 4.0 * 10^(-6)) / (0.4²)

F(2, 3) = -0.45N

Therefore,

Fx = -0.288cos36.87 - 0.45

Fx = -0.68N

Fy = 0.172N

=> F = - 0.68i + 0.172j

The magnitude of the force will be

F(mag) = √((-0.68)² + 0.172²)

F(mag) = 0.701N

(C) The direction of the force makes will be

tanθ = 0.172/0.68

θ = 14.19° to the x axis

Consider three identical electric bulbs of power P. Two of bulbs are connected in series and the third one is connected in paral

Tamiku [17]

Answer: 3P/2

Explanation: Let the resistance of the bulbs be R.

now lets consider a Voltage V is supplied to the parallel circuit such that

$P=VI=V^2/R$

V=IR

both single bulb( bulb 3) and the two bulbs ( bulb 1 and bulb 2) are provided the same Voltage

( as the voltage remains same in parallel circuit)

we can calculate the Current across both circuits

At Bulb 3

Current 1=V/R

Power1=Voltage * Current1

Power1=V*V/R

Power1=P

At Bulb 1 and Bulb 2

Total Resistance= R+R=2R

$Current2=\frac{V}{2R}$

Power2=Voltage * Current2

$Power2=V*\frac{V}{2R} \\Power2=\frac{V^2}{2R} \\Power2=P/2$

$TotalPower=Power1+Power2\\TotalPower=P+P/2\\TotalPower=\frac{3P}{2}$

Two neutron stars are separated by a distance of 1.0 x 1012 m. They each have a mass of 1.0 x 1028 kg and a radius of 1.0 x 103

son4ous [18]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Gravitational Potential Energy.

Gravitational potential energy can be defined as

$PE = -\frac{GMm}{R}$

As M=m, then

$PE = -\frac{Gm^2}{R}$

Where,

m = Mass

G =Gravitational Universal Constant

R = Distance /Radius

PART A) As half its initial value is u'=2u, then

$U = -\frac{2Gm^2}{R}$

$dU = -\frac{2Gm^2}{R}$

$dKE = -dU$

Therefore replacing we have that,

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 =\frac{Gm^2}{2R}$

Re-arrange to find v,

$v= \sqrt{\frac{Gm}{R}}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*1*10^{28}}{1*10^{12}}}$

$v = 816.7m/s$

Therefore the velocity when the separation has decreased to one-half its initial value is 816m/s

PART B) With a final separation distance of 2r, we have that

$2r = 2*10^3m$

Therefore

$dU = Gm^2(\frac{1}{R}-\frac{1}{2r})$

$v = \sqrt{Gm(\frac{1}{2r}-\frac{1}{R})}$

$v = \sqrt{6.67*10^{-11}*10^{28}(\frac{1}{2*10^3}-\frac{1}{10^{12}})}$

$v = 1.83*10^7m/s$

Therefore the velocity when they are about to collide is $1.83*10^7m/s$
