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

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

$F_{net}= 3.22*10^{-5} \ J$

1.Explain frame of reference. How is it different when you are riding inside a car or standing by the highway?

galben [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A frame of reference simply refers to a set of coordinates which is used to determine the position and velocity of objects all the objects found in that particular frame. The person inside the car and standing by the highway are in different frames of reference.

Newtons first law of motion states that an object will continue to be at rest or in a state of uniform velocity until it is acted upon by an external force.

Newtons second law states that rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the impressed force.

Newtons third law states that action and reaction are equal and opposite.

The action of applying brakes leads to an equal reaction of a sudden forward movement. Seat belts help to prevent the occupants of a car from being injured by the sudden stoppage of the car.

Force is simply defined as a push or pull.

Balanced forces do not lead to acceleration of a body but an unbalanced for leads to acceleration of a body.

Power is the rate of doing work while week is said to be done when the force applied moves a distance in the direction of the force. Power is defined as work/time.

When is thermal equilibrium achieved between two objects

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

when the temperatures of the two objects are equal

Explanation:

Thermal equilibrium is achieved between two objects when the temperatures of the two objects are equal. Heat flows from hot to cold objects. When the two objects attain equal temperatures, we say thermal equilibrium has been achieved

How is the medium of a wave and transmit of a wave similar and different?

zepelin [54]

Answer:

Sound and light are similar in that both are forms of energy that travel in waves. They both have properties of wavelength, freqency and amplitude. Here are some differences: Sound can only travel through a medium (substance) while light can travel through empty space.

Two electric charges are moved so that they are twice as far apart as they had originally been. Is the force they experience fro

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

The force that two particle experience is inversely proportional to the sqare of the distance, this is:

$F \ \alpha \ \frac{1}{D^{2}}$ for a distance D

If we move them so that D is doubled:

$\frac{1}{2^{2}.D^{2} }$ = $\frac{1}{4} \eq \frac{1}{.D^{2} } \eq$

Then the force they experience is one fourth of the original.

A river flows with a speed of 0.600 m/s. A student first swims upriver 0.500 km, then turns around and returns to his starting p

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

a) 1111.0 seconds

b) 833.3 s

c) Because of proportions

Explanation:

a) Total time of round trip is the sum of time upriver and time downriver

$t_{total}=t_{up}+t_{down}$

Time upriver is calculated with the net speed of student and 0.500 km:

$t_{up}=\frac{d_{istance}}{|v_{swimmer}|} ;\\v_{swimmer}=v_{relative to river}+v_{river}=-1.2+0.6=-0.6 m/s\\t_{up}=\frac{500 m}{0.6 m/s}=833.3 s$

(Becareful with units 0.5 km= 500m) Similarly of downriver:

$t_{down}=\frac{d_{istance}}{|v_{swimmer}|} ;\\v_{swimmer}=1.2+0.6=1.8 m/s\\t_{down}=\frac{500 m}{1.8 m/s}=277.7 s$

So the sum is:

$t_{total}=1111.0s$

b) Still water does not affect student speed, so total time would be simply:

$t_{total}=\frac{1000 m}{1.2 m/s}=833.3 s$

c) For the upriver trip, student moved half the distance in half speed of the calculation in b), so it kept the same ratio and therefore, same time. So the aditional time is actually the downriver.
