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 constant forces F1 = 8 + 29 + 32 N and F2 = 48 - 59 - 22 N act together on a particle during a displacement from the point A
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

- 600 J

Explanation:

A (20, 15, 0 ) m

B (0, 0, 7) m

\overrightarrow{F_{1}}=8\widehat{i}+29\widehat{j}+32\widehat{k}

\overrightarrow{F_{2}}=48\widehat{i}-59\widehat{j}-22\widehat{k}

Net force

\overrightarrow{F}=\overrightarrow{F_{1}}+\overrightarrow{F_{2}}

\overrightarrow{F}}=\left ( 8+48 \right )\widehat{i}+\left ( 29-59 \right )\widehat{j}+\left ( 32-22 \right )\widehat{k}

\overrightarrow{F}}=56\widehat{i}-30\widehat{j}+10\widehat{k}

\overrightarrow{S}=\overrightarrow{OB}-\overrightarrow{OA}

\overrightarrow{S}=\left ( 0-20 \right )\widehat{i}+\left ( 0-15 \right )\widehat{j}+\left ( 7-0 \right )\widehat{k}

\overrightarrow{S}=-20\widehat{i}-15\widehat{j}+7\widehat{k}

Work done is defined as

W = \overrightarrow{F}.\overrightarrow{S}

W = \left ( 56\widehat{i}-30\widehat{j}+10\widehat{k} \right ).\left (-20\widehat{i}-15\widehat{j}+7\widehat{k}  \right )

W = -1120 + 450 + 70

W = - 600 J
