Two charged particles, with charges q1=q and q2=4q, are located at a distance d= 2.00cm apart on the x axis. A third charged par

ticle, with charge q3=q, is placed on the x-axis such that the magnitude of the force that charge 1 exerts on charge 3 is equal to the force that charge 2 exerts on charge 3. Find the position of charge 3 when q = 2.00 nC . Assuming charge 1 is located at the origin of the x-axis and the positive x-axis points to the right, find the two possible values x3,r, and x3,l for the position of charge 3.

Answer:

X₃₁ = 0.58 m  and  X₃₂ = -1.38 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Newton's second law where the force is the Coulomb force

        F₁₃ - F₂₃ = 0

        F₁₃ = F₂₃

Since all charges are of the same sign, forces are repulsive

        F₁₃ = k q₁ q₃ / r₁₃²

        F₂₃ = k q₂ q₃ / r₂₃²

Let's find the distances

         r₁₃ = x₃- 0

         r₂₃ = 2 –x₃

We substitute

      k q q / x₃² = k 4q q / (2-x₃)²

      q² (2 - x₃)² = 4 q² x₃²

        4- 4x₃ + x₃² = 4 x₃²

        5x₃² + 4 x₃ - 4 = 0

We solve the quadratic equation

        x₃ = [-4 ±√(16 - 4 5 (-4)) ] / 2  5

        x₃ = [-4 ± 9.80] 10

       X₃₁ = 0.58 m

       X₃₂ = -1.38 m

For this two distance it is given that the two forces are equal

A 2kg block has 70J of KE. It then travels 1.5 meters up a hill. As it travels up the hill friction does -12J of work on the blo
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

v = 5.34[m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the theorem of work and energy conservation. This theorem tells us that the sum of the mechanical energy in the initial state plus the work on or performed by a body must be equal to the mechanical energy in the final state.

Mechanical energy is defined as the sum of energies, kinetic, potential, and elastic.

E₁ = mechanical energy at initial state [J]

E_{1}=E_{pot}+E_{kin}+E_{elas}\\

In the initial state, we only have kinetic energy, potential energy is not had since the reference point is taken below 1.5[m], and the reference point is taken as potential energy equal to zero.

In the final state, you have kinetic energy and potential since the car has climbed 1.5[m] of the hill. Elastic energy is not available since there are no springs.

E₂ = mechanical energy at final state [J]

E_{2}=E_{kin}+E_{pot}

Now we can use the first statement to get the first equation:

E_{1}+W_{1-2}=E_{2}

where:

W₁₋₂ = work from the state 1 to 2.

E_{k}=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} \\

E_{pot}=m*g*h

where:

h = elevation = 1.5 [m]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

70 - 12 = \frac{1}{2}*2*v^{2}+2*9.81*1.5

58 = v^{2} +29.43\\v^{2} =28.57\\v=\sqrt{28.57}\\v=5.34[m/s]

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

R=m*g-∀fl*g*l3

Explanation:

<em>An iron block of density rhoFe and of volume l 3 is immersed in a fluid of density rhofluid. The block hangs from a scale which reads W as the weight. The top of the block is a height h below the surface of the fluid. The correct equation for the reading of the scale is</em>

From Archimedes' principle we know that a body when immersed in a fluid, fully or partially, experiences an the upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. As the body is fully submerged in water, volume of water displaced  

density of iron =mass/ volume

rho=m/l3

mass=rhol3

weight fluid=rhofluid*g*Volume

weight of fluid=rhofluid*g*l3

F=∀fl*g*l3

Downward force is weight of iron

w=m*g

Reading on the spring scale

R=w-F

R=m*g-∀fl*g*l3

m=mass of iron

g=acceleration due to ravity

rhfld=density of fluid

l3=volume of fluid displaced
