Three point charges are located on the x-axis. The first charge, q1 = 10 μC, is at x = -1.0 m. The second charge, q2 = 20 μC, is

at the origin. The third charge, q3 = - 30 μC, is located at x = 2.0 m. What is the force on q2?
(a) 1.65 N in the negative x- direction
(b) 3.15 N in the positive x- direction
(c) 1.50 N in the negative x- direction
(d) 4.80 N in the positive x- direction
(e) 4.65 N in the negative x- direction.

Answer:

<em>3.15 N towards the positive x-axis</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

first charge has charge q1 = 10 μC = 10 x 10^-6 C

second charge has charge q2 = 20 μC = 20 x 10^-6 C

third charge has charge q3 = -30 μC = -30 x 20^-6 C

According to coulomb's law, force between two charged particle is given as

F = \frac{-kQq}{r^2}

Where

F is the force between the charges

k is Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10^9 kg⋅m^3⋅s^−2⋅C^−2.

Q is the magnitude of one charge

q is the magnitude of the other charge

is the distance between these two charges

For the force on q2 due to q1,

distance r between them = 0 - (-1.0) = 1 m

F = \frac{-9*10^{9}*10*10^{-6}*20*10^{-6}}{1^2} = -1.8 N (the negative sign indicates a repulsion on q2 towards the positive  x-axis)

For the force on q2 due to q3,

distance between them = 2.0 - 0 = 2 m

F = \frac{-9*10^{9}*20*10^{-6}*(-30*10^{-6})}{2^2} = 1.35 N (the positive sign indicates an attraction on q2 towards the positive x-axis)

Resultant force on q2 = 1.8 N + 1.35 N = <em>3.15 N towards the positive x-axis</em>

What are radioactive isotopes?
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

<em><u>R</u></em><em><u>adioactive isotope</u></em> , also called radioisotope,

radionuclide, or radioactive nuclide, any of

several species of the same chemical element

with different masses whose nuclei are unstable

and dissipate excess energy by spontaneously

emitting radiation in the form of alpha , beta , and

gamma rays .

A brief treatment of radioactive isotopes follows.

For full treatment, see isotope: <u>Radioactive</u>

<u>Radioactiveisotopes.</u>

Every chemical element has one or more

radioactive isotopes. For example, hydrogen, the

lightest element, has three isotopes with mass

numbers 1, 2, and 3. Only hydrogen-3 (tritium ),

however, is a radioactive isotope , the other two

being stable. More than 1,000 radioactive

isotopes of the various elements are known.

Approximately 50 of these are found in nature;

the rest are produced artificially as the direct

products of nuclear reactions or indirectly as the

radioactive descendants of these products.

Radioactive isotopes have many useful

applications. In medicine , for example, cobalt -60

is extensively employed as a radiation source to

arrest the development of cancer. Other

radioactive isotopes are used as tracers for

diagnostic purposes as well as in research on

metabolic processes. When a radioactive isotope

is added in small amounts to comparatively large

quantities of the stable element, it behaves

exactly the same as the ordinary isotope

chemically; it can, however, be traced with a

Geiger counter or other detection device.

Iodine -131 has proved effective in treating

hyperthyroidism. Another medically important

radioactive isotope is carbon-14, which is used in

a breath test to detect the ulcer-causing bacteria

Heliobacter pylori .

What is the speed of an object that travels 20 meters in 4 seconds?
Iteru [2.4K]

Given:-

  • Distance covered by the particle (s) = 20 m
  • Time taken (t) = 4 seconds

To Find: Speed of it.

We know,

v = s/t

where,

  • v = Speed,
  • s = Distance &
  • t = Time taken.

Putting the values,

v = (20 m)/(4 s)

→ v = 5 m/s (Ans.)

Two streams merge to form a river. One stream has a width of 8.9 m, depth of 3.8 m, and current speed of 2.3 m/s. The other stre
SpyIntel [72]
<h2>Depth of river is 4.48 m</h2>

Explanation:

Discharge = Area x Velocity

Discharge of river = Discharge of stream 1 + Discharge of stream 2

A_rv_r=A_1v_1+A_2v_2

Area of stream 1 = w₁ x d₁ = 8.9 x 3.8 = 33.82 m²

Area of stream 2 = w₂ x d₂ = 6.5 x 3.9 = 25.35 m²

Velocity of stream 1 = 2.3 m/s

Velocity of stream 2 = 2.6 m/s

Velocity of river = 3 m/s

\texttt{Area of river = }w_r\times d_r=10.7\times d_r

Substituting

             A_rv_r=A_1v_1+A_2v_2\\\\10.7\times d_r\times 3=33.82\times 2.3+25.35\times 2.6\\\\d_r=4.48m

Depth of river = 4.48 m
