Answer:
<em>D. The total force on the particle with charge q is perpendicular to the bottom of the triangle.</em>
Explanation:
The image is shown below.
The force on the particle with charge q due to each charge Q = ![\frac{kQq}{r^{2} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7BkQq%7D%7Br%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D)
we designate this force as N
Since the charges form an equilateral triangle, then, the forces due to each particle with charge Q on the particle with charge q act at an angle of 60° below the horizontal x-axis.
Resolving the forces on the particle, we have
for the x-component
= N cosine 60° + (-N cosine 60°) = 0
for the y-component
= -f sine 60° + (-f sine 60) = -2N sine 60° = -2N(0.866) = -1.732N
The above indicates that there is no resultant force in the x-axis, since it is equal to zero (
= 0).
The total force is seen to act only in the y-axis, since it only has a y-component equivalent to 1.732 times the force due to each of the Q particles on q.
<em>The total force on the particle with charge q is therefore perpendicular to the bottom of the triangle.</em>
Refraction is the change in direction of a wave.
Diffraction is the bending of a wave around a barrier.

Answer:
A. Mass
Explanation:
Inertia of an object is the resistance of the object to any change in its state of motion: it means that if an object is at rest, it tends to stay at rest for inertia (unless a net force acts on it), and if it is moving, it tends to continue moving with the same velocity, for inertia.
The inertia also describes how difficult it is to stop/accelerate an object, and it is directly proportional to the mass of the object: in fact, the larger the mass of an object, the more difficult it is to change its state of motion, and this means it has greater inertia.
Answer:
gₓ = 23.1 m/s²
Explanation:
The weight of an object is on the surface of earth is given by the following formula:
![W = mg](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=W%20%3D%20mg)
where,
W = Weight of the object on surface of earth
m = mass of object
g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth = strength of gravity on the surface of earth
Similarly, the weight of the object on Jupiter will be given as:
![W_{x} = mg_{x}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=W_%7Bx%7D%20%3D%20mg_%7Bx%7D)
where,
Wₓ = Weight of the object on surface of Jupiter = 34.665 N
m = mass of object = 1.5 kg
gₓ = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Jupiter = strength of gravity on the surface of Jupiter = ?
Therefore,
![34.65 N = (1.5 kg)g_{x}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=34.65%20N%20%3D%20%281.5%20kg%29g_%7Bx%7D)
![g_{x} = \frac{34.65 N}{1.5 kg}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=g_%7Bx%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B34.65%20N%7D%7B1.5%20kg%7D)
<u>gₓ = 23.1 m/s²</u>
