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 child swings on a playground swing. How many times does the child swing through the swing's equilibrium position during the co
Karolina [17]
<h2>The child swing through the swing's equilibrium position 6 times during the course of 3 periods.</h2>

Explanation:

One period means time taken to complete one revolution.

In case of swings in one period time it travels the same position through two times.

Here we need to find how many times does the child swing through the swing's equilibrium position during the course of 3 period(s) of motion.

For 1 period = 2 times

For 3 periods = 3 x For 1 period

For 3 periods = 3 x 2 times

For 3 periods = 6 times

The child swing through the swing's equilibrium position 6 times during the course of 3 periods.
