A test charge of +2 μC is placed halfway between a charge of +6 μC and another of +4 μC separated by 10 cm. (a) What is the magn

itude of the force on the test charge? (b) What is the direction of this force (away from or toward the +6 μC charge)?

Answer:

ᵃ. Fₙ= 1.424 x 10¹³ μN

ᵇ. away from the +6 charge

Explanation:

PART A

Using Coulomb's law FOR CHARGES +2 AND +4

F= (Q . q)÷4(3.142)ε(5/100)²

F= 2.848 x 10¹³ μN

for charges of 2 and 6

F₂=(Q . q)÷4(3.142)ε(5/100)

F₂= 4.272 x 10¹³ μN

<em>NET FORCE IS EQUAL TO THE SUM OF ALL THE FORCES ACTING AT A POINT.</em>

<em>FORCE IS A VECTOR QUANTITY, THEREFORE, WE ASSIGN A NEGATIVE SIGN TO ONE OF THE FORCES, as both of them are acting in opposite directions while repelling the +2. </em>

Fₙ= F-F₂

Fₙ= 4.272 x 10¹³ - 2.848 x 10¹³

Fₙ= 1.424 x 10¹³ μN

PART B

The force caused by the +6 charge is twice as much as the one caused by the +4 charge on the same +2 charge, therefore the repulsion caused by the greater charge is greater and has an effect of pushing the +2 charge away from it. However there is also a force of repulsion by the +4 charge which is NOT AS STRONG as compared to the +6 charge, therefore it is less likely to push away the +2 charge

As the Sun ages, what will happen to life here on Earth? Why?
Burka [1]

Answer:

As the Sun ages it will enter another stage of stellar evolution where it's atmosphere begins to inflate.As the Sun heats up and expands, life on Earth will become increasingly difficult. Long before the Sun becomes a red giant some 4 or 5 billion years from now, our planet will be rendered uninhabitable.

How are these ions distinguished from one another in writing formulas for compounds? A. using Latin prefixes B. using numerical
IgorC [24]

Answer:

B. using numerical superscripts

Explanation:

ion is an atom that has different number of protons and electrons. An isotope is an atom of an element with a specific number of neutrons. Two different isotopes of the same element will have two different neutron counts.

When writing the symbol for an ion, the one- or two-letter element symbol is written first, followed by a superscript. The superscript has the number of charges on the ion followed by a + (for positive ions or cations) or - (for negative ions or anions). Neutral atoms have a charge of zero, so no superscript is given.
