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

1) How does the frequency of sound affect the speed of sound?
Travka [436]

Changing frequency of sound does not change the speed of the sound.

Explanation:

  • Speed of the sound gets altered when the sound travels from one medium to another.
  • Change in frequency does not affect the speed of the sound and speed is affected by the properties of the medium through which it travels.
  • Therefore, to change the speed of the sound, the properties of the medium needs to be changed.

The fastest measured pitched baseball left the pitcher's hand at a speed of 42.0 m/s. If the pitcher was in contact with the bal
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The acceleration and time are 588 m/s² and 0.071 sec respectively.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 42.0 m/s

Distance = 1.50 m

(a). We need to calculate the acceleration

Using equation of motion

v^2=u^2+2as

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

Put the value in the equation

a=\dfrac{42.0^2-0}{2\times1.50}

a=588\ m/s^2

(b). We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion

v = u+at

t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}

t=\dfrac{42.0-0}{588}

t=0.071\ sec

Hence, The acceleration and time are 588 m/s² and 0.071 sec respectively.

students make a small elevator machine with 5 kg and 10 kg masses on either side how fast will the masses accelerate once they a
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

The acceleration of the elevator machine is, a = 3 m/s²                

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass on the one end, m = 5 kg

The mass on the other end, M = 10 kg

According to the Atwood's machine

                    Ma = Mg - T

                     ma = T - mg

Adding those equations,

                   a (M + m) = g ( M - m)

                       a = (M + m) / ( M - m)

Substituting the values,

                       a = (10 + 5) / (10 - 5)

                          = 3 m/s²

The acceleration of the elevator machine is, a = 3 m/s²
