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>

Hi please may someone help me especially on the sketch part.

Ignoring the air resistance it will take about 3 seconds for the object to reach the ground.We know that the acceleration due to gravity is 10m/s2.

We also know that the final velocity is 30 m/s while the initial velocity is 0 m/s

we can use the formulae for acceleration to calculate the time taken/

(final - initial velocity)/timetaken=10

(30-0)/timetaken=10

timetaken =30/10=3 seconds

A rubber balloon is filled with 1 L of air at 1 atm and 300 K and is then put into a cryogenic refrigerator at 100 K. The rubber
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The correct answers are

(a) It decreases to 1/3 L

(ii) is (c) It is constant

Explanation:

to solve this, we list out the number of knowns and unknowns so as to determine the correct equation to solve the problem

The given variables are as follows

Initial volume V1 = 1L

V2 = Unknown

Initial Temperature T1 = 300K

let us assume that the balloon is perfectly elastic

At 300K the balloon is filled and it stretches to maintain 1 atmosphere

at 100K the content of the balloon cools reducing the excitement of the gas content which also reduces the pressure, however, the balloon being perfectly elastic, contracts to maintain the 1 atmospheric pressure, hence the answer to (ii) is (c) It is constant,

For (i) since we know that the pressure of the balloon is constant

by Charles Law V1/T1 =V2/T2

or V2 = (V1/T1)×T2 =\frac{1L}{300K}× 100K= \frac{1}{3} × L = L/3 hence the correct answer to (i) is 1/3L
