Two point-charges Q1 and Q2 are 2.5 m apart, and their total charge is 19μC. If the force of repulsion between them is 0.07 N,

what are magnitudes of the two charges by following the steps below?
a. Q1 + Q2 = _____________C
Use Coulomb's Law to calculate the product of the two charges.
b. Q1XQ2 = ________C
c. Solve for Q1 and Q2 using the two equations you got in part (a) and part (b). Hint: There are two possible solutions. Enter the answer with curly brackets as {Q1,Q2} where Q1 is the smaller charge and Q2 is the larger charge.

Answer:

a) Q_1+Q_2=19\times 10^{-6} C

b) Q_1.Q_2=4.861\times 10^{-11}\ C^2

c) \{Q_1,Q_2\}=\{15.953\times 10^{-6},3.047\times 10^{-6}\}

Explanation:

Given:

  • distance between the charges, r=2.5\ m
  • total charge, Q_1+Q_2=19\times 10^{-6} C .....................(1)
  • repulsive force between the charges, F=0.07\ N

<u>We first find the product of two charges using Coulomb's law:</u>

F=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0}\times \frac{Q_1.Q_2}{r^2}

0.07=9\times 10^9\times \frac{Q_1.Q_2}{2.5^2}

Q_1.Q_2=4.861\times 10^{-11}\ C^2 ............................(2)

Now using eq.(1)&(2)

Put value of Q_1 from eq. (1) into eq. (2)

(19\times 10^{-6}-Q_2).Q_2=4.861\times 10^{-11}\ C^2

(19\times 10^{-6}-Q_2).Q_2=4.861\times 10^{-11}

Q_2=15.953\times 10^{-6}\ C\ or\ 3.047\times 10^{-6}\ C

Therefore, Charges:

\{Q_1,Q_2\}=\{15.953\times 10^{-6},3.047\times 10^{-6}\}

A light wave encounters a partial physical barrier, such as a wall with a hole in it. What is MOST LIKELY to occur?
tatiyna
Most likely, the light wave will be absorbed by the wall. Without any information as to the size and color of the wall, the location and size of the hole, or the location of the light wave, this is a generalized probability problem. For all of the places the light could be, it's more likely that it hits the wall than the hole (if the hole is less than 50% of the area of the wall).

A force is applied to a block sliding along a surface (Figure 2). The magnitude of the force is 15 N, and the horizontal compone
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Fy = 14.3 [N]

Explanation:

To be able to solve this problem we must know that the force is a vector and has magnitude and direction, therefore it can be decomposed into the force in the X & y components:

When we have the components on the horizontal and vertical axes we must use the Pythagorean theorem.

F = \sqrt{F_{x}^{2} +F_{y}^{2}  }

where:

F = 15 [N]

Fx = horizontal component = 4.5 [N]

Fy = vertical component [N]

15=\sqrt{4.5^{2}+F_{y}^{2}}\\ 15^{2}= (\sqrt{4.5^{2}+F_{y}^{2}})^{2} \\225 = 4.5^{2}+F_{y} ^{2}\\  F_{y}^{2} =225 -4.5^{2}\\ F_{y}^{2}=204.75\\F_{y}=\sqrt{204.75}\\  F_{y}=14.3 [N]

A motorcycle traveling at 25 m/s accelerates at a rate of 6 m/s2 for 4 seconds. What is the final speed of the motorcycle in m/s
givi [52]

Initial velocity = Vo= 25 m/s

Final velocity = V = x

Acceleration= a = 6 m/s^2

time= t = 4 seconds

Appy the equation:

V = Vo + at

Replacing:

V = 25 + 6(4) = 25 + 24 = 49 m/s
