Answer:

5.634 N rightwards

Explanation:

qo = - 3 x 10^-7 C

q1 = - 9 x 10^-6 C

q2 = 10 x 10^-6 C

r1 = 7 cm = 0.07 m

r2 = 20 cm = 0.2 m

The force on test charge due to q1 is F1 which is acting towards right

According to the Coulomb's law

F_{1}=\frac{Kq_{1}q_{0}}{r_{1}^{2}}

F1 = (9 x 10^9 x 9 x 10^-6 x 3 x 10^-7) / (0.07 x 0.07)

F1 = 4.959 N rightwards

The force on test charge due to q2 is F1 which is acting towards right

According to the Coulomb's law

F_{2}=\frac{Kq_{2}q_{0}}{r_{2}^{2}}

F2 = (9 x 10^9 x 10 x 10^-6 x 3 x 10^-7) / (0.2 x 0.2)

F2 = 0.675 N rightwards

Net force on the test charge

F = F1 + F2 = 4.959 + 0.675 = 5.634 N rightwards

Is it possible for a car to be accelerating to the west while it is driving to the east?
Ber [7]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

If the acceleration has an opposite direction to the velocity of the car, this means that it is opposed to is motion. Therefore, it is called deceleration, since the car's velocity will decrease until it stops and then will start it moving towards the west.

Sliva [168]

Answer:Let m =  mass of asteroid y.Because asteroid y has three times the mass of asteroid z, the mass of asteroid z is m/3.Given:F = 6.2x10⁸ Nd = 2100 km = 2.1x10⁶ mNote thatG = 6.67408x10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg-s²)The gravitational force between the asteroids isF = (G*m*(m/3))/d² = (Gm²)/(3d²)orm² = (3Fd²)/G     = [(3*(6.2x10⁸ N)*(2.1x10⁶ m)²]/(6.67408x10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg-s²))    = 1.229x10³² kg²m = 1.1086x10¹⁶ kg = 1.1x10¹⁶ kg (approx)Answer: 1.1x10¹⁶ kg
