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.

Why is the sky blue?
Taya2010 [7]
A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.
