Consider four point charges arranged in a square with sides of length L. Three of the point charges have charge q and one of the

m has charge −q. What is the magnitude of the electric force on the −q charge due to the three q charges?

Answer:F_{net}=\frac{kq^2}{(L)^2}\left [ \frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{2}\right ]

Explanation:

Given

Three charges of magnitude q is placed at three corners and fourth charge is placed at last corner with -q charge

Force due to the charge placed at diagonally opposite end on -q charge

F_1=\frac{kq(-q)}{(L\sqrt{2})^2}

where  L\sqrt{2}=Distance between the two charges

F_1=-\frac{kq^2}{2L^2}

negative sign indicates that it is an attraction force

Now remaining two charges will apply the same amount of force as they are equally spaced from -q charge

F_2=\frac{kq(-q)}{(L)^2}

The magnitude of force by both the  charge is same but at an angle of 90^{\circ}

thus combination of two forces at 2 and 3 will be

F'=\sqrt{2}\frac{kq^2}{2L^2}

Now it will add with force due to 1 charge

Thus net force will be

F_{net}=\frac{kq^2}{(L)^2}\left [ \frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{2}\right ]

Rudik [331]
The crest of the wave has traveled 415 cm in 11.7s. then the crest should have travelled 415/11.7 cm in one second i.e. 35.47cm. Then the crest should have travelled 26*35.47 cm in 26 seconds i.e. 922.2cm which has 46 vibrations in it.
so for length of each vibration (Wavelength) is 20 cm

How are velocity and acceleration related
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.  If an object is changing its velocity, its speed, or changing its direction, then it is said to be accelerating.

Explanation:

when you change directions or speed up you are accelerating (or decelerating)  and when you change directions or speed its called velocity.

Why does a paper clip sink and a big ocean liner float? explain your answer.
slamgirl [31]

<span>Because of the density of the paperclip it sinks, but even though a boat is normally made of steal it contains an opposite force of gravity known as buoyancy. Buoyancy is the reason that a boat will float.  Boat density is less weight than the water they are in so this is one reason that they are floaters.</span>

Describe what happens when a plate carrying oceanic crust collides with a plate carrying continental crust.
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Subduction occurs and a trench is formed.

Explanation:

  • When a tectonic plate carrying an oceanic crust collides with a tectonic plate carrying a continental crust then the oceanic plate will slide beneath the continental one, forming a trench.
  • This is possible because the oceanic crust is less dense than the continental crust.

Subduction is a geological phenomenon in which the tectonic plates of one crustal plate descends below the edge of the other. The region where this happens is called a subduction zone.
