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

The initial volume reading in a graduated cylinder is 30 mL. The mass of an irregular shape of an unknown metal piece is 55.3 g.
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

7.9\frac{gr}{cm^3}

Explanation:

When we put the metal piece in the liquid (which is in the graduated cylinder), how much it goes up is equal to the volume of the piece we inserted.

So now we know that the volume of that piece of unknown metal is 7mL (which is the same as 7cm^3).

Density is \frac{mass}{volume}.

So the density of that piece of metal is \frac{55.3g}{7cm^3}

Which leaves us with a final density of 7.9\frac{gr}{cm^3}

Place the items in order from the largest wavelength to the shortest wavelength.
Butoxors [25]

From largest to shortest wavelength:

Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared radiation, Red visible, Orange visible, Yellow visible, Green visible, Blue visible, Violet visible, Ultraviolet, X-rays, Gamma rays

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.

Electromagnetic waves are the only type of waves able to travel in a vacuum, and in a vacuum they always at the same speed, the speed of light,  equal to:

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, according to their wavelength/frequency. From slongest to shortest wavelength, they are ranked as follows:

Radio waves

Microwaves

Infrared radiation

Visible light

Ultraviolet

X-rays

Gamma rays

Visible light is the only part of the spectrum that the human eye is able to see. Depending on the wavelength of the visible light, we perceive the radiation as a different color. In order from longest to shortest wavelength, colors are:

Red

Orange

Yellow

Green

Blue

Indigo

Violet

Therefore, the correct order from largest to shortest wavelength in the given list is:

Radio waves

Microwaves

Infrared radiation

Red visible

Orange visible

Yellow visible

Green visible

Blue visible

Violet visible

Ultraviolet

X-rays

Gamma rays
