A positive charge Q is placed at the origin. Four other positive charges are placed on a circle in the x-y plane centered on Q a

s shown. The top charge is located on the y axis and has a magnitude of 3q. The three bottom charges are symmetric about the y axis as shown and each has magnitude q.
1) Which of the following statements best describes FX, the x component of the net force on the charge at the origin
FX > 0
FX = 0
FX < 0

3) For the collection of charges shown in the above problem, which of the following statements best describes FY, the y component of the net force on the charge at the origin
FY > 0
FY = 0
FY < 0

1. <span>FX = 0 since the bottom charges are symmetrical about the y axis and the top charge is aligned with the y-axis
3. </span><span>FY > 0 since the bottom charges do not equate the top charge. The bottom charges have horizontal components which is less than q and adding them all, will not result to 3q.</span>

An astronaut goes to Mars to do some experiments. Explain why her mass stays the same but her weight changes.
Snowcat [4.5K]
Because mass does not change from place to place but weight does change from place to place... why? because weight is the amount of gravitational force on an object and mass is the amount of matter in an object. mars has less gravitational force so an object will weigh less than it really weighs there

What property is used to distinguish the layers of the atmosphere?
Margarita [4]
There are many porperties. You can use Altitude, Temperature, Pressure and Density, but the best one is temperature. The resaon for that is that based on the temperature changes then the athmosphere can be broken into four major layers. Remember that the layers are the following: <span>the </span>troposphere,the<span> </span>stratosphere, <span>the </span>mesosphere<span>, and the</span>thermosphere<span>.</span>

If R is the total resistance for a parallel circuit with two resistors of resistance r1 and r2, then . Find the resistance, r1,
Goshia [24]
For a parallel circuit with two resistors, the total resistance is calculated from the expression:

1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2

We are given the total resistance, R, which is 20 ohms and R2 which is 75 ohms. We calculate R1 as follows:

1/20 = 1/R1 + 1/75
1/R1 = 11/300
R1 = 27.27 ohms

A roller coaster car rapidly picks up speed as it
TiliK225 [7]
Acceleration = (change of speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (22 - 4) = 18 m/s.
Time for the change = 3 sec.

Acceleration = 18/3 = 6 m/s per second.
