The net force on the charge at the origin is -1.2×10-8

<u>Explanation:</u>

Solving the problem,

  • Draw the x-axis and the locations of the given three charges.
  • The forces applied on the charge at the origin and there are two of them, and since all the changes are positive, all the forces are repulsive.
  • we have the formula, F = kq1Q/r².
  • F1 = kq1Q/r²1 = (9.0*109Nm²/C²)(2.2*10^-9C)(3.5*10^-9C)/(1.5m)² = 31*10-9N = 3.1*10-8N.  F1 points to the right (+x direction).
  • F2 = kq2Q/r²2 = (9.0*109Nm²/C²)(5.4*10^-9C)(3.5*10^-9C)/(2.0m)² = 43*10^-9N = 4.3*10^-8N.
  • F2 points to the left (-x direction).
  • To find the net force we have to subtract the force F1 and force F2 .
  • The net force is F(origin) = F1 - F2 = -1.2×10-8N.

A 3.0 kg object moving 8.0 m/s in the positive x direction has a one-dimensional elastic collision with an object (mass = M) ini
finlep [7]
<h2>Option 2 is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

Elastic collision means kinetic energy and momentum are conserved.

Let the mass of object be m and M.

Initial velocity object 1 be u₁,  object 2 be u₂

Final velocity object 1 be v₁,  object 2 be v₂

Initial momentum = m x u₁ + M x u₂ = 3 x 8 + M x 0 = 24 kgm/s

Final momentum = m x v₁ + M x v₂ = 3 x v₁ + M x 6 = 3v₁ + 6M

Initial kinetic energy = 0.5 m x u₁² + 0.5 M x u₂² = 0.5 x 3 x 8² + 0.5 x M x 0² = 96 J

Final kinetic energy = 0.5 m x v₁² + 0.5 M x v₂² = 0.5 x 3 x v₁² + 0.5 x M x 6² = 1.5 v₁² + 18 M

We have

            Initial momentum = Final momentum

            24 = 3v₁ + 6M

            v₁ + 2M = 8

             v₁ = 8 - 2M

            Initial kinetic energy = Final kinetic energy

            96 = 1.5 v₁² + 18 M

            v₁² + 12 M = 64

Substituting  v₁ = 8 - 2M

           (8 - 2M)² + 12 M = 64    

           64 - 32M + 4M² + 12 M = 64    

            4M² = 20 M

               M = 5 kg

Option 2 is the correct answer.

Which of these steps would most likely be part of a lab procedure?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

These are a part of lab procedures:

1. Write a hypothesis to answer a question.

2. Write a title at the top of a completed lab report.

3. Record the time to complete a chemical reaction.

These are NOT a part of lab procedures:

1. Create a question on the cause of a chemical reaction.

Explain how the thermal energy of an isolated system changes with time if the mechanical energy of that system is constant.​
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Thermal energy of an isolated system changes with time If the mechanical energy of that system is constant according to the first law of thermodynamics, which states that thermal energy of an isolated system can still change as long as the total energy of that system does not change.

What is the momentum of an object in splace
forsale [732]

Answer:

The total momentum of the universe is always the same and is equal to zero. The total momentum of an isolated system never changes. Momentum can be transferred from one body to another.

Momentum quantifies how likely an object is to stay in motion. Momentum can also be explained using the equation, p=mv, where p is equal to momentum, m is equal to mass, and v is equal to velocity.
