Four point charges have equal magnitudes. Three are positive, and one is negative, as the drawing shows. They are fixed in place
on the same straight line, and adjacent charges are equally separated by a distance d. Consider the net electrostatic force acting on each charge. Calculate the ratio of the largest to the smallest net force magnitude.
1 answer:
Answer:
Ans= 9
See attached picture for clearer solution.
Explanation:
The net electrostatic force acting on charge A = 2/ 2 + 2 /(2) 2 − 2 /(3) 2 = 2 / 2 (1 + 1/4 – 1/9 ) = 41/36 2/2 .
The net electrostatic force acting on charge B = 2/2 + 2/(2)2 − 2/2 = 1/4 2/d2 .
The net electrostatic force acting on charge C = 2/2 + 2/(2)2 + 2/2 = 2/2 (1 + 1 4 + 1) = 9/4 2/2 .
The net electrostatic force acting on charge D = 2/2+ 2 /(2)2 + 2/(3)2 = 2 /2 (1 + 1/4 + 1/9 ) = 49/36 2/ 2 .
The ratio of the largest to the smallest net force = 9/4*2/2 / 1/4 2/2 . = 9

Explanation:
Now find the components NxNxN_x and NyNyN_y of N⃗ N→N_vec in the tilted coordinate system of Part B. Express your answer in terms of the length of the vector NNN and the angle θθtheta, with the components separated by a comma.
Vectors are quantities that have both magnitude and direction while scalar quantities have only magnitude but no direction.
This a vector quantity
from the diagram the horizontal component of the length of the vector will be
Ф
the vertical component will be
Ф
this is in the opposite direction because the x can be extrapolated to the negative axis
Answer:
Speed of the airplane 10.0 s later = 12.2 m/s
Explanation:
Mass of Boeing 777 aircraft = 300,000 kg
Braking force = 445,000 N
Deceleration
Initial velocity, u = 27 m/s
Time , t = 10 s
We have equation of motion, v =u +at
v = 27 + (-1.48) x 10 = 27 - 14.8 = 12.2 m/s
Speed of the airplane 10.0 s later = 12.2 m/s
