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

<span>Electromagnetic radiation are represented in waves. Each type of wave has a certain shape and length. The distance between two peaks in a wave is called the wavelength. It is indirectly related to the frequency which is the number of wave that pass per unit of time. Wavelength is equal to the speed of light divided by the frequency. We calculate as follows:

Wavelength = </span>300,000,000 m/sec / <span>650,000,000,000,000 per second

natima [27]

Answer:

a ) 11.1 *10^3 m/s = 39.96 Km/h

b) T_{o2} =1.58*10^5 K

Explanation:

a)v_{es} =v_{rms}= 11.1 km/s =11.1 *10^3 m/s = 39.96 Km/h

b)

M_O2 = 32.00 g/mol =32.0*10^{-3} kg/mol

gas constant R = 8.31 j/mol.K

v_{rms} = \sqrt{ \frac{3RT}{M}}

So, v_{rms,o2} =\sqrt{ \frac{3RT_{o2}}{M_{o2}}}

multiply each side by M_{o2}, so we have

v_{rms,o2}^2 *M_{o2} =3RT_{o2}

solving for temperature T_{o2}

T_{o2} = \frac{v_{rms,o2}^2 *M_{o2}}{3R}

In the question given,v_{rms} =v_{es}

T_{o2} = \frac{(11.1*10^3)^2 *32.0*10^{-3}}{3*8.31}

T_{o2} =1.58*10^5 K

What is the unit for electrical power?
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The answer is Watt

Explanation:

Electricity is measured in Watts and kilowatts

Electricity is measured in units of power called Watts, named to honor James Watt, the inventor of the steam engine. A Watt is the unit of electrical power equal to one ampere under the pressure of one volt. One Watt is a small amount of power.
