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.

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

Canola oil is less dense than water, so it floats on water, but its index of refraction is 1.47, higher than that of water. When

kupik [55]

Answer:

therefore critical angle c= 69.79°

Explanation:

Canola oil is less dense than water, so it floats over water.

Given $n_{canola}= 1.47$

which is higher than that of water

refractive index of water $n_{water}=1.33$

to calculate critical angle of light going from the oil into water

we know that

$sinc= \frac{n_{water}}{n_{canola}}$

now putting values we get

$sinc= \frac{1.33}{1.47}$

c= $sin^{-1}(\frac{1.33}{1.47} )$

c=69.79°

therefore critical angle c= 69.79°

El tubo de entrada que suministra presión de aire para operar un gato hidráulico tiene 2 cm de diámetro. El pistón de salida es

Bess [88]

Answer:

La presión neumática para levantar un automóvil de 17,640 newtons es 220,500 pascales.

Explanation:

Asumiendo que la presión ( $P$ ), medida en pascales, tiene una distribución uniforme sobre la superficie del pistón, se calcula a partir de la siguiente expresion:

$P = \frac{F}{A}$

Donde:

$F$ - Fuerza motriz, medida en newtons.

$A$ - Área del pistón, medida en metros cuadrados.

La fuerza motriz es equivalente al peso del automóvil. El área del pistón ( $A$ ), medido en metros cuadrados, es determinado por:

$A=\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D^{2}$

Donde $D$ es el diámetro del pistón, medido en metros.

Si $D = 0.32\,m$ y $F =17,640\,N$ , entonces la presión neumática es:

$A = \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot (0.32\,m)^{2}$

$A \approx 0.080\,m^{2}$

$P = \frac{17,640\,N}{0.080\,m^{2}}$

$P = 220,500\,Pa$

La presión neumática para levantar un automóvil de 17,640 newtons es 220,500 pascales.

If you were trying to kill a fish witha a spear, woukd you ain where you see the fish?

patriot [66]

No, you can't aim where you see the fish, because refraction will change the position of the fish and make it appear in a different position from where it actually is.

Hope this helps!

The speed of the center of the earth as it orbits the sun is 107257 kmph and the absolute angular velocity of the earth about it

Sindrei [870]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Speed , $v_0$ =107257 kmph

Angular velocity, $\omega=7.292\times 10^{-5} rad/s$

Radius of earth,r= $6371 km=6371000 m$

1 km=1000 m

Linear velocity, $v=r\omega=6371000\times 7.292\times 10^{-5}=464.57 m/s$

Linear velocity, $v=464.57\times \frac{18}{5}=1672.46 km/h$

Velocity at point A, $v_A=-vi+v_0 j=-1672.46 i+107257j kmph$

Velocity at point B, $v_B=v_0j-vj=107257j-1672.46j=105584.54j kmph$

Velocity at point C, $v_C=v_0j+vi=1672.46 i+107257j kmph$

Velocity at point D, $v_D=v_0j+vj=107257j+1672.46j=108929.46jkmph$
