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

While moving a box 10.0 m across the floor, Sam pushes with a force of 150 N to the right. The force friction acting on the box
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:required formula is

W 1=F*S

W1=work done by Sam =?

F=force applied by sam=150N

S=displacement =10m

again

W2=F*S

W2=work done by friction =?

S=displacement =10m

F=friction =25N

W=W1-W2=net work done

Joey is riding in an elevator which is accelerating upwards at 2.0 m/s2. The elevator weighs 300.0 kg, and Joey weighs 60.0 kg.
vodka [1.7K]

4200 N  is the tension in the cable that pulls the elevator upwards.

The correct option is A.

<h3>What does tension ?</h3>

Tension is the force that is sent through a rope, thread, or wire whenever two opposing forces pull on it. Along the whole length of the wire, the tensile stress pulls equally on all objects at the ends. Every physical object that comes into contact with that other one exerts force on it.

<h3>Briefing:</h3>

We employ the following formula to determine the cable's tension.

Formula:

T = mg+ma............ Equation 1

Where:

T is the cable's tension.

M = Mass of the elevator and the Joey

Accelerating with a

g = Gravitational acceleration

Considering the query,

Given:

m = (300+60) = 360 kg

a = 2 m/s²

g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

T = (360×9.8)+(360×2)

T = 3528+720

T = 4248 N

T ≈ 4200 to the nearest hundred.

The normal formula to find force is F = m* a. What kind of math do you need to do
Oduvanchick [21]
To find the Mass of an object, you need to apply division.
Since Resultant Force = Mass X Acceleration

To find mass,
Mass = Force / Acceleration
