Three point charges are placed on the x−y plane: a + 50.0-nC charge at the origin, a −50.0-nC charge on the x axis at 10.0 cm, a

nd a + 150 nC charge at the point (10.0 cm, 8.00 cm).
(a) Find the total electric force on the + 150-nC charge due to the other two.

Answer:

(a) F = 0.00322i - 0.00793j with magnitude |F| = 0.00856N

(b) E = -42846.7 N/C

Explanation:

The diagram attached below explains some parameters.

Parameters given:

Charge Q1 = +50 nC at point (0, 0)

Charge Q2 = -50 nC at point (0.1, 0)

Charge Q3 = +150 nC at point (0.1, 0.08)

* The distances are in meters.

(a) The total electric force on the charge Q3 due to Q1 and Q2 is the vector sum of the forces due to Q1 and Q2. Mathematically,

F = F1 + F2

FORCE DUE TO Q1 i.e. F(Q1, Q3)

We have to find the x and y components.

From the diagram, we can find θ using SOHCAHTOA:

θ = tan⁻¹ (0.08/0.1)

θ = 38.66⁰

The distance between Q1 and Q3 can be found using Pythagoras theorem:

x² = 0.08² + 0.1²

x = 0.128 m

F1 = Fx(Q1, Q3)i + Fy(Q1, Q3)j

F1 = iF(Q1, Q3)cosθ + jF(Q1, Q3)sinθ

F(Q1, Q3) = (k * Q1 * Q3) / r²

k = Coulombs constant

F(Q1, Q3) = (9 * 10⁹ * 50 * 10⁻⁹ * 150 * 10⁻⁹) /(0.128)²

F(Q1, Q3) = 0.00412N

F1 = i0.00412 * cos38.66 + j0. 00412 * sin38.66

F1 = 0.00322i + 0.00257j N

FORCE DUE TO Q2 i.e. F(Q2, Q3)

We have to find the x and y components.

F2 = Fx(Q2, Q3)i + Fy(Q2, Q3)j

F2 = iF(Q2, Q3)cos90 + jF(Q2, Q3)cos0

F(Q2, Q3) = (k * Q2 * Q3) / r²

F(Q2, Q3) = (9 * 10⁹ * -50 * 10⁻⁹ * 150 * 10⁻⁹) /(0.08)²

F(Q2, Q3) = -0.0105N

F2 = -i0.0105 * cos90 - j0.0105 * cos0

F2 = - 0.0105j N

Hence, the total force will be

F = F1 + F2

F = 0.00322i + 0.00257j - 0.0105j

F = 0.00322i - 0.00793j N

The magnitude of this force is:

|F| = √(0.00322² + (-0.00793²)

|F| = 0.00856N

(b) The electric field at charge Q3 is the sum of the electric fields due to Q1 and Q2:

E = E1 + E2

E1, electric field due to Q1 = kQ1/r²

E1 = (9 * 10⁹ * 50 * 10⁻⁹) / (0.128²)

E1 = 27465.8 N/C

E2, electric field due to Q2 = (9 * 10⁹ * -50 * 10⁻⁹) / (0.08²)

E1 = -70312.5N/C

The total electric field:

E = E1 + E2

E = 27465.8 - 70312.5

E = -42846.7 N/C

At an outdoor market, a bunch of bananas attached to the bottom of a vertical spring of force constant 16.0 N/m is set into osci
aksik [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

4.53 kg

Explanation:

spring constant, K = 16 N/m

Amplitude, A = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Maximum speed, v = 37.6 cm/s = 0.376 m/s

The formula for maximum speed is given by

v = ωA

where, ω is the angular frequency

0.376 = ω x 0.2

ω = 1.88 rad/s

\omega =\sqrt{\frac{K}{m}}

m = \frac{K}{\omega ^{2}}

m = \frac{16}{1.88 ^{2}}

m = 4.53 kg

Thus, the mass of banana bunch is 4.53 kg.

State the methods of nuclear fission waste disposal and the suitability of each method.
Alexeev081 [22]
<span>Most low-level radioactive waste (LLW) is typically sent to land-based disposal immediately following its packaging for long-term management. This means that for the majority (~90% by volume) of all of the waste types produced by nuclear technologies, a satisfactory disposal means has been developed and is being implemented around the world.
</span>

Radioactive wastes are stored so as to avoid any chance of radiation exposure to people, or any pollution.The radioactivity of the wastes decays with time, providing a strong incentive to store high-level waste for about 50 years before disposal.Disposal of low-level waste is straightforward and can be undertaken safely almost anywhere.Storage of used fuel is normally under water for at least five years and then often in dry storage.<span>Deep geological disposal is widely agreed to be the best solution for final disposal of the most radioactive waste produced.

Which describes the best approach when conducting a scientific experiment
IgorC [24]

When conducting and experiment you want to have a notebook and something to write down notes with so you can keep everything organized and proper, and to not miss anything in the experiment. Also you want to have everything in order of the way it should be in.

I hope you found this helpful!

When there is no air resistance, objects of different masses (1 points)
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Fall at equal acceleration with similar displacements.

Explanation:

  • Objects under free fall with no air resistance, are falling under the sole influence of gravity. So, under that conditions, objects with different masses  will fall with the same rate of acceleration
