Answer:

a) E_T=134,484\frac{N}{C}\hat{i}+149954.66\frac{N}{C}\hat{j}

b) zero

Explanation:

a) To find the electric field at point C, you sum the contribution of the electric fields generated by the other two charges. The total electric field at C is given by:

E_T=E_1+E_2

E1: electric field of charge 1

E2: electric field of charge 2

It is necessary to calculate the x and y components of both E1 and E2. You take into account the direction of the fields based on the charge q1 and q2:

E_1=k\frac{q_1}{r_{1,3}}[cos\theta\hat{i}+sin\theta \hat{j}]\\\\E_2=k\frac{q_2}{r_{2,3}}[cos\phi\hat{i}-sin\phi \hat{j}]\\\\

r13: distance between charges 1 and 3

r12: charge between charges 2 and 3

k: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9 Nm^2/C^2

Thus, you first calculate the distance r13 and r23, and also the angles:

r_{1,3}=3.00m\\\\r_{2,3}=\sqrt{(3.00m)^2+(4.00m)^2}=5.00m\\\\\theta=90\°\\\\\phi=tan^{-1}(\frac{4.00}{3.00})=53.13\°

Next, you replace the values of all parameters in order to calculate E1 and E2:

E_1=(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)(\frac{3.30*10^{-4}C}{(3.00m)^2})\hat{j}\\\\E_1=329266.66\frac{N}{C}\\\\E_2=(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)(\frac{6.24*10^{-4}C}{(5.00m)^2})[cos53.13\°\hat{i}-sin(53.13\°)\hat{j}]\\\\E_2=224140.8[0.6\hat{i}-0.8\hat{j}]=134484\hat{i}-179312\hat{j}

finally, you obtain for ET:

E_T=134,484\frac{N}{C}\hat{i}+(329266.66-179312)\frac{N}{C}\hat{j}\\\\E_T=134,484\frac{N}{C}\hat{i}+149954.66\frac{N}{C}\hat{j}

b) The x component of the force exerted by A on C is zero because there is only a vertial distance between them. Thus, there is only a y component force.

Four pairs of objects have the masses as described below, along with the distances between
lord [1]

Answer:

<h2>Mass of 1 Kg and 2 Kg, 1 meters apart.</h2>

Explanation:

The gravitational force is defined as

F=G\frac{m_{1} m_{2} }{r^{2} }

By definition, the gravitational force depends directly on the product of the masses and indirectly on the distance between the masses, which means the further they are, the less gravitational force would be. And, the greater the masses, the greater the gravitational force.

Among the options, the pair that would have the greatest gravitational force is  Mass of 1 Kg and 2 Kg, with 1 meter between them.

Notice that the last choice includes the same masses but with a greater distance between them, that means it would be a weaker graviational force.

Therefore, the right answer is the second choice.

To balance a chemical equation we use______. <br> -coefficients <br> -subscripts
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Coefficients

Explanation:

  • Coefficients are used to balance chemical equations.
  • According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the reactants in a chemical equation should be equivalent to the mass of the products.
  • The conservation of mass is achieved in chemical equations is achieved through balancing chemical equations.
  • <em><u>Balancing chemical equations is a try and error of putting appropriate coefficients to the reactants or products to ensure that the number of atoms of each element are equal on the side of the reactants and that of products. </u></em>

A student is trying to determine the acceleration of a feather as she drops it to the ground. if the student is looking to achie
Anna [14]

The coordinate system should have the origin at the point where the feather is dropped and the downward direction is to be taken as positive.

All falling bodies experience acceleration towards the center of the Earth due to the force of gravitational attraction exerted on the object by the Earth. A feather, when dropped experiences an acceleration in the downward direction. Since the acceleration of the feather is in the downward direction, a feather, when dropped with zero initial velocity, has its velocity vector directed in the direction of its acceleration.

If the downward direction is taken as positive, the falling feather can be said to have a positive velocity and a positive acceleration.
