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.

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

A substance in its liquid state is closer to the density of its solid phase than the density of its gaseous phase.

Explanation:

For a substance in its liquid state we can expect the density of the substance more closer to the density of its solid state than its gaseous state because the the inter-molecular space is much close near to incompressible in the liquid state and the the inter-molecular force of attraction is much higher as compared to gaseous state.

In contrast to the molecular properties in liquid state gases have almost negligible inter-molecular force of attraction and very huge inter-molecular spacing which makes it well compressible.

1 A 75-g ball is projected from a height of 1.6 m with a horizontal velocity of 2 m/s and bounces from a 400-g smooth plate supp
Tanzania [10]

Answer with explanation:

We are given that  

Mass of ball,m_1=75 g=\frac{75}{1000}=0075kg

1 kg=1000 g

Height,h_1=1.6 m

h_2=0.6 m

Horizontal velocity,v_x=2 m/s

Mass of platem_2=400 g=\frac{400}{1000}=0.4 kg

a.Initial velocity of plate,u_2=0

Velocity before impact=u_1=\sqrt{2gh_1}=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 1.6}=5.6m/s

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

Velocity after impact,v_1=\sqrt{2gh_2}=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.6}=3.4m/s

According to law of conservation of momentum  

m_1u_1+m_2u_1=-m_1v_1+m_2v_2

Substitute the values  

0.075\times 5.6+0=-0.075\times 3.4+0.4v_2

0.4v_2=0.075\times 5.6+0.075\times 3.4

v_2=\frac{0.075\times 5.6+0.075\times 3.4}{0.4}=1.69 m/s

Velocity of plate=1.69 m/s

b.Initial energy=\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2_x+m_1gh_1=\frac{1}{2}(0.075)(2^2)+0.075\times 9.8\times 1.6=1.326 J

Final energy=\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2_x+m_1gh_2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v^2_2

Final energy=\frac{1}{2}(0.075)(2^2)+0.075\times 9.8\times 0.6+\frac{1}{2}(0.4)(1.69)^2=1.162 J

Energy lost due to compact=Initial energy-final energy=1.326-1.162=0.164 J

What happens to air as it warms ,expands and become less dense
AleksandrR [38]
Air expands as it warms. Therefore warm air is less dense than cool air. The warm air from the first floor apartments rises to the second floor. People on the second floor require less heating to keep their <span>apartments comfortable.

Latitude, elevation, ocean currents, topography, and prevailing winds. There's probably a few others but these are the most important.
