Answer:

FC vector representation

F_{C} =(19.03i+13.78j)N

Magnitude of FC

F_{C}=23.495N

Vector direction FC

\beta=35.91 degrees: angle that forms FC with the horizontal

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

Because the particle C is close to two other electrically charged particles, it will experience two electrical forces and the solution of the problem is of a vector nature.

The directions of the individual forces exerted by qA and qB on qC are shown in the attached figure; The force (FAC) of qA over qC is repulsive because they have equal signs and the force (FBC) of qB over qC is attractive because they have opposite signs.

The FAC force is up in the positive direction and the FBC force forms an α angle with respect to the x axis.

\alpha = tan^{-1}(\frac{3}{4}) = 36.86 degrees

To calculate the magnitudes of the forces we apply Coulomb's law:

F_{AC} = \frac{k*q_{A}*q_{C}}{r_{AC}^2} Equation (1): Magnitude of the electric force of the charge qA over the charge qC

F_{BC} = \frac{k*q_{B}*q_{C}}{r_{BC}^2} Equation (2) : Magnitude of the electric force of the charge qB over the charge qC

Known data

k=8.99*10^9 \frac{N*m^2}{C^2}

q_{A}=2.70*10^{-4} C

q_{B}=-6.36*10^{-4} C

q_{C}=1.04*10^{-4} C

r_{AC} =3

r_{BC}=\sqrt{4^2+3^2} = 5

Problem development

In the equations (1) and (2) to calculate FAC Y FBC:

F_{AC} =8.99*10^9*(2.70*10^{-4}* 1.04*10^{-4})/(3)^2=28.05N

F_{BC} =8.99*10^9*(6.36*10^{-4}* 1.04*10^{-4})/(5)^2=23.785N

Components of the FBC force at x and y:

F_{BCx}=23.785 *Cos(36.86)=19.03N

F_{BCy}=23.785 *Sin(36.86)=14.27N

Components of the resulting force acting on qC:

F_{Cx} = F_{ACx}+ F_{BCx}=0+19.03=19.03N

F_{Cy} = F_{ACy}+ F_{BCy}=28.05-14.27=13.78N

FC vector representation

F_{C} =(19.03i+13.78j)N

Magnitude of FC

F_{C}= \sqrt{19.03^2+13.78^2} =23.495N

Vector direction FC

\beta = tan^{-1} (\frac{13.78}{19.03})=35.91 degrees: angle that forms FC with the horizontal

A ball is thrown up with a speed of 15m/s. How high will it go before it begins to fall? ( g = 10m/s2 )
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Height is 11.25m

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Initial velocity, u = 0

Final velocity, v = 15m/s

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 10m/s²

To find the height, we would use the third equation of motion;

V^{2} = U^{2} + 2aS

Where;

  • V represents the final velocity measured in meter per seconds.
  • U represents the initial velocity measured in meter per seconds.
  • a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.
  • S represents the displacement (height) measured in meters.

V^{2} = U^{2} + 2aS

<em>Making S the subject, we have;</em>

S = \frac {V^{2} - U^{2}}{2a}

But a = g = 10m/s²

<em>Substituting into the equation, we have;</em>

S = \frac {15^{2} - 0^{2}}{2*10}

S = \frac {225 - 0}{20}

S = \frac {225}{20}

S = 11.25m

<em>Therefore, the ball will reach a height of 11.25m before it begins to fall. </em>

What formula can be used to calculate [H30+]?
elena-s [515]

[H3O+] is just the same with [H+]. There are quite a few relationships between [H+] and [OH−] ions. And because there is a large range of number between 10 to 10-15 M, the pH is used. pH = -log[H+] and pOH = -log[OH−]. In aqueous solutions, [H+ ][OH- ] = 10-14.
