Liula [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Part (i) the magnitude E of the electric field midway between the spheres is 8.71 × 10⁵ N/C

Part (ii) the direction of the electric field is towards the negative charge

Explanation:

Given;

+q = 3.93.90μC, r = 3.50×10⁻²m

-q = −2.40μC, r = 3.50×10⁻²m

magnitude of the electric field is experienced, midway between the spheres at a distance r,  r = ¹/₂ × 0.51 = 0.255 m

Electric field due to point charge is given as;

E = \frac{F}{q} = \frac{Kq^2}{qr^2}  = \frac{kq}{r^2}

K is coulomb's constant = 8.99 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²

The positive charge on positive x-axis and the negative charge is on negative x-axis.

part (a)

The electric field due to positive charge; +q = 3.93.90μC

E_+ = \frac{kq}{r^2}\\\\E_+ = \frac{8.99 X10^9*3.9X0^{-6}}{0.255^2}\\\\E_+= 5.3919 X10^5\frac{N}{C}

The electric field due to negative charge; -q = −2.40μC

E_- = \frac{kq}{r^2}\\\\E_- = \frac{8.99 X10^9*2.4X0^{-6}}{0.255^2}\\\\E_-= 3.3181 X10^5\frac{N}{C}

From superimposition theorem

The magnitude of the electric field is;

E = E₊ + E₋

E = (5.3919 × 10⁵ + 3.3181 × 10⁵) N/C

E = 8.71 × 10⁵ N/C

Therefore, the magnitude E of the electric field midway between the spheres is 8.71 × 10⁵ N/C

Part (b)

The direction of the electric field is towards the negative charge.

A trio of students push a 65 kg crate. The first student pushes 31 N [e], the second student pushes 28 N [s] and the third stude
Verdich [7]

Answer:

The free body diagram is attached.

Explanation:

A force of 31[N] to the east, the second force goes to the south and it is equal to 28[N], the third force goes to the west and it is equal to 39 [N].

We can consider the crate as a particle. And all the forces are acting over the particle.

If a box has a length of 10.0 cm, a width of 20.0 cm, and a height of 5.00 cm, then what is its volume in m^3?
lesya692 [45]

Explanation:

Solution,

Given:-

  • Length=10 cm
  • Width= 20 cm
  • Height= 5 cm
  • Volume =?

Now,

By using the formula of volume of a cuboid, we have

  • volume=length×width×height
  • volume=10 cm×20 cm×5 cm
  • volume=1000 cm³
  • volume= 1×10×10×10×10 cm³
  • volume=(1×10⁴) cm³

Hence, last option is the correct answer.

How many charges are required to have an electric field
Liono4ka [1.6K]
One charge is enough in order to have an electric field. 

In fact, every charge generates an electric field: for example, the electric field generated by a single point positive charge is radial, as shown in the attached figure. More complicate electric field configurations can be obtained adding charges or using more complicate charge distributions, but one charge is enough to have an electric field.

A particle moves along the x axis according to the equation x = 6t², where x is in meters and t is in seconds. Therefore:
vladimir2022 [97]
Answer is E

time can be negative.
A is not true because <span>a=<span><span><span>d2</span>x</span><span>d<span>t2</span></span></span>=12 m/<span>s2</span></span>
C: question already said that particle move along x-axis, which is not parabola path.
D: velocity is <span><span><span>dx</span><span>dt</span></span>=12t</span>, therefore velocity changes by 12 m/s and not 9.8 m/s
So we are left with E. <span>
