What is (Fnet3)x, the x-component of the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 55.0 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.220 m ? Your answer may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force. Express your answer numerically in newtons to three significant figures.

Answer:

The net force exerted on the third charge is  F_{net}=  3.22*10^{-5} \ J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The third charge is  q_3 =  55 nC =  55 *10^{-9} C

    The position of the third charge is  x = -1.220 \ m

     The first charge is q_1 =  -16 nC  =  -16 *10^{-9} \ C

     The position of the first charge is x_1 =  -1.650m

      The second charge is  q_2 =  32 nC  =  32 *10^{-9} C

      The position of the second charge is  x_2 =   0  \ m  

The distance between the first and the third charge is

      d_{1-3} =  -1.650 -(-1.220)

     d_{1-3} = -0.43 \ m

The force exerted on the third charge by the first is  

     F_{1-3} =  \frac{k  q_1 q_3}{d_{1-3}^2}

Where k is the coulomb's constant with a value  9*10^{9} \ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4}\cdot A^2.

substituting values

      F_{1-3} =  \frac{9*10^{9}* 16 *10^{-9} * (55*10^{-9})}{(-0.43)^2}

       F_{1-3} = 4.28 *10^{-5} \ N

 The distance between the second and the third charge is      

  d_{2-3} =  0- (-1.22)

   d_{2-3} =1.220 \ m

The force exerted on the third charge by the first is mathematically evaluated as

       F_{2-3} =  \frac{k  q_2 q_3}{d_{2-3}^2}

substituting values

       F_{2-3} =  \frac{9*10^{9} * (32*10^{-9}) *(55*10^{-9})}{(1.220)^2}

       F_{2-3} =  1.06*10^{-5} N

The net force is

      F_{net} =  F_{1-3} -F_{2-3}

substituting values

    F_{net} = 4.28 *10^{-5} - 1.06*10^{-5}

    F_{net}=  3.22*10^{-5} \ J

True or false? Scientific laws can be expressed through a law that relates several variables.
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Scientific laws are often written as expressions that contains variables and are laws that are binding themselves.

In science, laws are natural phenomenon that draws from careful observations that holds through following a series of detailed study. Within the range of assumed parameters, a law will always hold true.

Most laws in science are denoted using mathematical variables which helps to interpret them.

The variables shows the relationship between the different parts of the law.

For example, Newton's law of universal gravitation is expressed mathematically as shown below;

                          F  =  \frac{G m_{1} m_{2}  }{r^{2} }

where G, m and r are all variables.

  G is the universal gravitation constant

   m is mass

   r is the distance between them.

   F is the gravitational force.

Most scientific laws are often expressed in this format.
