Three point charges are arranged along the x axis. Charge q1=-4.00nC is located at x= .250 m and q2= 2.40 nC is at the x= -.300m

. A positive point charge q3 is located at the origin. a) What must the value of q3 be for the net force on thispoint charge to have a magnitude 4.40 μN ?

Answer:

q₃=5.3nC

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the force exerted by the charges q₁ and q₂. To do this, we use the Coulomb's Law:

F= k\frac{|q_aq_b|}{r^{2} } \\\\\\F_{13}=(9*10^{9} Nm^{2} /C^{2} )\frac{|(-4.00*10^{-9}C)q_3|}{(.250m)^{2} } =576q_3N/C\\\\F_{23}=(9*10^{9} Nm^{2} /C^{2} )\frac{|(2.40*10^{-9}C)q_3|}{(.300m)^{2} } =240q_3N/C\\

Since we know the net force, we can use this to calculate q₃. As q₁ is at the right side of q₃ and q₁ and q₃ have opposite signs, the force F₁₃ points to the right. In a similar way, as q₂ is at the left side of q₃, and q₂ and q₃ have equal signs, the force F₂₃ points to the right. That means that the resultant net force is the sum of these two forces:

F_{Net}=F_{13}+F_{23}\\\\4.40*10^{-9} N=576q_3N/C+240q_3N/C\\\\4.40*10^{-6} N=816q_3N/C\\\\\implies q_3=5.3*10^{-9}C=5.3nC

In words, the value of q₃ must be 5.3nC.

A 0.200-m uniform bar has a mass of 0.795 kg and is released from rest in the vertical position, as the drawing indicates. The s
aleksklad [387]

Explanation:

Since, the rod is present in vertical position and the spring is unrestrained.

So, initial potential energy stored in the spring is U_{s} = 0

And, initial potential gravitational potential energy of the rod is U_{g} = \frac{mgL}{2}.

It is given that,

       mass of the bar = 0.795 kg

            g = 9.8 m/s^{2}

           L = length of the rod = 0.2 m

Initial total energy T = \frac{mgL}{2}

Now, when the rod is in horizontal position then final total energy will be as follows.

            T = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + I \omega^{2}

where,    I = moment of inertia of the rod about the end = \frac{mL^{2}}{3}

Also,    \omega = \frac{\nu}{L}

where,    \nu = speed of the tip of the rod

              x = spring extension

The initial unstrained length is x_{o} = 0.1 m

Therefore, final length will be calculated as follows.

              x' = \sqrt{(0.2)^{2} + (0.1)^{2}} m

Then,  x = x' - x_{o}

          x = \sqrt{(0.2)^{2} + (0.1)^{2}} m - 0.1 m

             = 0.1236 m

       k = 25 N/m

So, according to the law of conservation of energy

       \frac{mgL}{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1 \times mL^{2}}{2 \times 3}(\frac{\nu}{L})^{2}

      \frac{mgL}{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1}{6}mv^{2}

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

   \frac{mgL}{2} = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} + \frac{1}{6}mv^{2}

  \frac{0.795 kg \times 9.8 \times 0.2 m}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 27 N/m \times (0.1236)^{2} + \frac{1}{6} \times 0.795 \times v^{2}

          v = 2.079 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that tangential speed with which end A strikes the horizontal surface is 2.079 m/s.
