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.

Long time ago, people saw the constellations as patterns in the sky.  They names these patterns and tell stories about them.

How are electromagnetic waves that are produced by oscillating charges and sound waves that are produced by oscillating tuning f
Dovator [93]
They are both created by waves of different forms of energy... sound is the oscillation of other substances, called a medium, while the electromagnetic waves are oscillating through electromagnetic energy.

Which of kepler’s laws explains why the sun has a slightly larger angular diameter in january than in july?
Bond [772]

Kepler’s three law is the answer. Kepler’s 3 is the amount of time it takes to orbit the sun is related to size and distance.  Kepler’s 3 is one of the planetary motion and can be stated as all planets move in elliptical orbits, having the sun sits at one of the foci.

Uranium-235 decays to thorium-231 with a half-life of 700 million years. When a rock was formed, it contained 6400 million urani
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

proof in explanation

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the number of half-lives:

n = \frac{t}{t_{1/2}}

where,

n = no. of half-lives = ?

t = total time passed = 2100 million years

t_{1/2} = half-life = 700 million years

Therefore,

n = \frac{2100\ million\ years}{700\ million\ years}\\\\n = 3

Now, we will calculate the number of uranium nuclei left (n_u):

n_u = \frac{1}{2^{n} }(total\ nuclei)\\\\n_u = \frac{1}{2^{3} }(6400\ million)\\\\n_u = \frac{1}{8}(6400\ million)\\\\n_u =  800\ million

and the rest of the uranium nuclei will become thorium nuclei (u_{th})

n_{th} = total\ nuclei - n_u\\n_{th} = 6400\ million-800\ million\\n_{th} = 5600\ million

dividing both:

\frac{n_{th}}{n_u}=\frac{5600\ million}{800\ million} \\\\n_{th} = 7n_u

<u>Hence, it is proven that after 2100 million years there are seven times more thorium nuclei than uranium nuclei in the rock.</u>
