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

The rate at which light energy is radiated from a source is measured in which of the following units?
Over [174]
The correct option is D.
Lumen is used to quantify the amount of total light energy that a source is putting out in all direction, thus, it refers to luminous output of a light source. Initial lumen refers to the luminosity of a light when it was first turned on; the luminosity is highest at this point.

Acceleration  =  (change in speed) / (time for the change)

      - 4.1 m/s²  =  (-9 m/s)  /  (time for the change)

Time for the change  =  (-9 m/s) / (-4.1 m/s²)  =   2.2 seconds

Atomic physicists usually ignore the effect of gravity within an atom. To see why, we may calculate and compare the magnitude of
STatiana [176]

Answer:

2.27\cdot 10^{49}

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the proton and the electron is given by

F_G=G\frac{m_p m_e}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m_p is the proton mass

m_e is the electron mass

r = 3 m is the distance between the proton and the electron

Substituting numbers into the equation,

F_G=(6.67259\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg s^{-2})\frac{(1.67262\cdot 10^{-27}kg) (9.10939\cdot 10^{-31}kg)}{(3 m)^2}=1.13\cdot 10^{-68}N

The electrical force between the proton and the electron is given by

F_E=k\frac{q_p q_e}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb constant

q_p = q_e = q is the elementary charge (charge of the proton and of the electron)

r = 3 m is the distance between the proton and the electron

Substituting numbers into the equation,

F_E=(8.98755\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2})\frac{(1.602\cdot 10^{-19}C)^2}{(3 m)^2}=2.56\cdot 10^{-19}N

So, the ratio of the electrical force to the gravitational force is

\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{2.56\cdot 10^{-19} N}{1.13\cdot 10^{-68}N}=2.27\cdot 10^{49}

So, we see that the electrical force is much larger than the gravitational force.

Why is a shadow formed
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Shadows are made by blocking light. Light rays travel from a source in straight lines. If an opaque (solid) object gets in the way, it stops light rays from traveling through it. The size and shape of a shadow depend on the position and size of the light source compared to the object.
