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

Which of newton's three laws is the hardest to describe or explain when viewing common occurrences?
choli [55]

Newton's second law is the hardest to describe as it is about momentum  (F = ma), and a lot of people don't know the concept of momentum.

Newton's first law of motion:- every object moves in a straight line unless acted upon by a force.

Newton's 2nd law of motion:-the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force exerted and inversely proportional to the item's mass. Newton's 2nd law is a quantitative description of the changes that a force can produce on the motion of a body. It states that the time rate of change of the momentum of a body is equal in both magnitude and direction to the force imposed on it.

Newton's 3rd law of motion:- For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction.

What is the minimum speed must a salmon jumping at an angle of 35.2 leave the water in m/s?
yuradex [85]

Height of the waterfall is 0.449 m

its horizontal distance will be 2.1 m

now let say his speed is v with which he jumped out so here the two components of his velocity will be

v_x = vcos35.2 = 0.817 v

v_y = vsin35.2 = 0.576 v

here the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2 downwards

now we can find the time to reach the other end by y direction displacement equation

\Delta y = v_y * t + \frac{1}{2} at^2

-0.449 = 0.576 * v *t - \frac{1}{2}*9.81 * t^2

also from x direction we can say

\Delta x = v_x * t

2.1 = 0.817 v* t

now we have

v* t = 2.57

we will plug in this value into first equation

- 0.449 = 0.576 * 2.57 - 4.905 * t^2

1.93 = 4.905 * t^2

t = 0.63 s

now as we know that

v* t = 2.57

t = 0.63 s

v = \frac{2.57}{0.63}

v = 4.1 m/s

so his minimum speed of jump is 4.1 m/s
