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

Using the principle of floatation.

u = w............(a)

Upthrust of fluid is equal to the weight of the object.

Let the volume of the wood be V.

The upthrust u, is related to the volume submerged in water, and that is 1/5 of it volume, that is (1/5)V = 0.2V

Formula for upthrust, u = vdg

where v = volume of fluid displaced
d = density of fluid
g = acceleration due to gravity

weight, w = mg
where m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity

From (a)

                     u = w

                 vdg =  mg      Cancel out g

                   vd  =  m
 
The v  is equal to 0.2V, which is the submerged volume. Notice that the small letter v is volume of fluid displaced, and capital V is the volume of the solid.

d is density of fluid which is water in this case, 1000 kg/m³

         0.2V * 1000 =  m

           200V =  m

Hence the mass of the object is  200V  kg.

But Density of solid =  Mass of solid / Volume of solid

                                 =    200V / V

                                 =    200 kg/m³

Density of solid = 200 kg/m³

According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, if you hit a baseball with a bat it will _____.
shtirl [24]
Newton's second law says that the acceleration of an object is produced by the force exerted on it.
Having this in mind, if you hit a baseball with a bat it will <u>accelerate according to the applied force.</u>

Answer:

1)

a) f = 1m × 2 × (5A / √2) × (5A / √2) / 0.003m = 0.00166... (66 is repeating)

b) The currents on two wires on a AC chord are always moving in opposite direction and so they are always replusing.

c) There needs to be a sheath to dampen the replusing, fluctuating force of the wires.

2)

a) v = √(  ( (-2)(-1.6 × 10^(-16))(3000V) ) / (2.84 × 10^(-20)kg) ) = 5.81227 × 10^3

b) Any ion transversing a chamber having a magnetic field will deflect.

c) The direction of the electric field is vertical because it's perpendicular to the plates. The electric field magnitude is independent from the magnitude of the magnetic field and charge. So it's not possible to find the magnitude of the electric field, without knowing the voltage on the plates, the distance between the plates, and the dielectric constant.

d) Assuming the mangetic field remained, the path of the negative ions will be deflected vertically given that the magnetic field is horizontally perpendicular to the negative charged ions movement.  

Sorry it took so long :) If anything is incorrect please let me know.
