Answer:

the distance from charge A to C is r₁₃= 1.216 m

Explanation:

following Coulomb's law , the force exerted by 2 point charges between themselves is:

F= k*q₁*q₂/r₁₂² , where q is charge , r is distance and 1 and 2 represents the charge A and charge B respectively , k=constant

since C ( denoted as 3) is at equilibrium

F₁₃=F₂₃

k*q₁*q₃/r₁₃²=k*q₂*q₃/r₂₃²

q₁/r₁₃²=q₂/r₂₃²

r₁₃²/q₁=r₂₃²/q₂

r₂₃=r₁₃*√(q₂/q₁)

since C is at rest and is co linear with A and B ( otherwise it would receive a net force in either vertical or horizontal direction) , we have

r₁₃+r₂₃=d=r₁₂

r₁₃+r₁₃*√(q₂/q₁)=d

r₁₃*(1+√(q₂/q₁))=d

r₁₃=d/(1+√(q₂/q₁))

replacing values

r₁₃=d/(1+√(q₂/q₁)) = 3.00 m/(1+√(3.10 C/1.44 C)) = 1.216 m

thus the distance from charge A to C is r₁₃= 1.216 m

An electron is a negatively charged particle that has a charge of magnitude, e - 1.60 x 10-19 C. Which one of the following stat
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

The electric field is directed toward the electron and has a magnitude of E=\frac{ke}{r^{2} }.

Explanation:

An electric field is define as the surrounding of charges which exert a force on each other and this force can be attractive or repulsive depends on the charge.

In the given case electron is given and the magnitude of charge on electron is e=1.6\times 10^{-19}C

Electric field can be represented as,

E=\frac{kQ}{r^{2} }

Here, r is the distance between the point ande charge, k is the electric field constant and Q is the charge.

In the given question an electron is given so electric field will be,

E=\frac{ke}{r^{2} }

As we know that electric field start from the positive charge and vanish in the negative charge.

So, here the electric field will be E=\frac{ke}{r^{2} } and it is directed toward the electron because of negative charge on the electron.

A small object with momentum 7.0 kg∙m/s approaches head-on a large object at rest. The small object bounces straight back with a
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The magnitude of the large object's momentum change is 3 kilogram-meters per second.

Explanation:

Under the assumption that no external forces are exerted on both the small object and the big object, whose situation is described by the Principle of Momentum Conservation:

p_{S,1}+p_{B,1} = p_{S,2}+p_{B,2} (1)

Where:

p_{S,1}, p_{S,2} - Initial and final momemtums of the small object, measured in kilogram-meters per second.

p_{B,1}, p_{B,2} - Initial and final momentums of the big object, measured in kilogram-meters per second.

If we know that p_{S,1} = 7\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}, p_{B,1} = 0\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} and p_{S, 2} = 4\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}, then the final momentum of the big object is:

7\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} + 0\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} = 4\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}+p_{B,2}

p_{B,2} = 3\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}

The magnitude of the large object's momentum change is:

p_{B,2}-p_{B,1} = 3\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}-0\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}

p_{B,2}-p_{B,1} = 3\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}

The magnitude of the large object's momentum change is 3 kilogram-meters per second.
