Three negative point charges q1 =-5 nC, q2 = -2 nC and q3 = -5 nC lie along a vertical line. The charge q2 lies exactly between

charge q1 and q3 which are 16 cm apart. Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field this combination of charges produces at a point P at a distance of 6 cm from the q2

Answer:

Ep= 5450N/C in direction (-x)

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

The electric field at a point P due to a point charge is calculated as follows:

E = k*q/d²

E: Electric field in N/C

q: charge in Newtons (N)

k: electric constant in N*m²/C²

d: distance from charge q to point P in meters (m)

Equivalence  

1nC= 10⁻⁹C

1cm=  10⁻²m

Graphic attached

The attached graph shows the field due to the charges q₁, q₂ y q₃ in the  P  (x=6, y=0):

As the charge q₁ ,q₂ , and q₃ are negative the field enter the charges.

E₁: Electric Field due to charge q₁.  

E₂: Electric Field due to charge q₂.  

E₃: Electric Field due to charge q₃.

Field calculation due to q₁ and q₃

Because q₁ = q₃ and d₁ = d₃, then, the magnitude of E₁ is equal to the magnitude of E₃

d₁=d₃=d

d=\sqrt{6^{2}+8^{2}  } =10cm=0.1m

q₁=q₃= -5nC= 5*10⁻⁹C

E₁ = E₃= k*q/d² = 9*10⁹*5*10⁻⁹/0.1² = 4500 N/C

E₁x = E₃x= - 4500*(6/10)= -2700 N/C

E₁y =  -4500*(8/10)= -3600 N/C

E₃y=  +4500*(8/10)=+3600N/C

Field calculation due to q₂

E₂x= k*q₂/d₂²=  -9*10⁹*2*10⁻⁹/0.6²= -50 N/C

Magnitude and direction of the electric field in the point P (Ep)

Epx= E₁x+ E₂x+E₃x = -2700 N/C-50 N/C-2700 N/C= -5450N/C

Epy= E₁y+ E₃y= -3600 N/C+3600N  = 0

Ep= 5450N/C in direction (-x)

Evaporating water produces gaseous water. What has occurred during this process?​
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Heat has accelerated water atoms enough to break the surface tension which leads the liquid to turn into a gas

Explanation:

The state of a substance depends on the distribution of its atoms, therefore any atmosphere change (in this case heat) enough to change the atoms Distribution results in a change of state.

Suppose that the height of the incline is h = 14.7 m. Find the speed at the bottom for each of the following objects. 1.solid sp
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

1. 14.4 m/s  2. 13.2 m/s 3. 12.0 m/s 4. 13.9 m/s

Explanation:  

Assuming no friction present, the different objects roll without slipping, so there is a constant relationship between linear and angular velocity, as follows:

ω= v/r

If no friction exists, the change in total kinetic energy must be equal in magnitude to the change in the gravitational potential energy:

∆K = -∆U

 ½ *m*v² + ½* I* ω²  = m*g*h

Simplifying and replacing the value of the angular velocity:

½ * v² + ½ I *(v/r)² = g*h (1)

In order to answer the question, we just need to replace h by the value given, and I (moment of inertia) for the value for each different object, as follows:

  •  Solid Sphere I = 2/5* m *r²

                Replacing in (1):

                ½ * v² + ½ (2/5 *m*r²) *(v/r)² = g*h

                Replacing by the value given for h, and solving for v:

                v = √(10/7*9.8 m/s2*14.7 m)  = 14. 4 m/s

  • Spherical shell I=2/3*m*r²

                Replacing in (1):

                ½ * v² + ½ (2/3 *m*r²) *(v/r)² = g*h

                Replacing by the value given for h, and solving for v:

                v = √(6/5*9.8 m/s2*14.7 m)  = 13.2 m/s

  • Hoop   I= m*r²

                Replacing in (1):

                ½ * v² + ½ (m*r²) *(v/r)² = g*h

               Replacing by the value given for h, and solving for v:

               v = √(9.8 m/s2*14.7 m)  = 12.0 m/s

  • Cylinder I = 1/2 * m* r²

                 Replacing in (1):

                ½ * v² + ½ (1/2 *m*r²) *(v/r)²= g*h

                 Replacing by the value given for h, and solving for v:

                v = 2*√(1/3*9.8 m/s2*14.7 m)  = 13.9 m/s

use what you have learned so far about heat transfer to explain how hot rocks can be used to make steam?
Anna [14]
If you throw water on anything hot enough, the liquid water turns to steam. With this method, you can create an energy source.
