Answer:

E=[8.1X-9.63Y]*10^{3}N/m

Explanation:

Field in the point is the sum of the point charge electric field and the field of the infinite line.

First, we calculate the point charge field:

E_{Charge}=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}  *\frac{Q}{||r_p -r||^2} *Unitary vector\\||r_p -r||^2=(x_p-x)^2+(y_p -y)^2=1.25 m^2\\Unitary Vector=\frac{(r_p -r)}{||r_p -r||}=\frac{(x_p-x)X+(y_p -y)Y}{||r_p -r||}\\=\frac{2\sqrt{5} }{5}X- \frac{\sqrt{5} }{5}Y \\E_{Charge}=K*\frac{3\mu C}{1.25m^2}*(\frac{2\sqrt{5} }{5}X- \frac{\sqrt{5} }{5}Y)

It is vectorial, where <em>X</em> and <em>Y</em> represent unitary vectors in <em>X</em> and <em>Y</em>. we recall the Coulomb constant <em>k=</em>\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} and not replace it yet. Now we compute the line field as follows:

E_{Line}=\frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 distance} *Unitary Vector\\Unitary Vector=X (The field is only in the perpendicular direction to the wire, which is X)

E_{Line}=\frac{-3\mu C/m*2}{2*2\pi \epsilon_0 5*m}X=K*\frac{6\mu C/m}{ 5*m}(-X)

We multiplied by 2/2 in order to obtain Coulomb constant and express it that way. Finally, we proceed to sum the fields.

E=K*\frac{3\mu C}{1.25m^2}*(\frac{2\sqrt{5} }{5}X- \frac{\sqrt{5} }{5}Y)+K*\frac{6\mu C}{ 5*m^2}(-X)\\E=K*[2.15-1.2]X-K*[1.07]Y \mu N/m\\E=K*[0.9X-1.07Y] \mu C/m^2\\E=[8.1X-9.63Y]*10^{3}N/m

How do we calculate the value of work?
Katarina [22]
The percent complete is calculated by dividing the quantity of material progressed at a point in time by the total quantity required for the project. The resulting percent is multiplied by the current agreed committed value of the material item to obtain the VOWD for that item.

levacccp [35]

0.77 m/s2 directed 35° south of west

net force = (-17,-12)

net force = mass * acceleration

(-17,-12) = 27 * (x-acceleration,y-acceleration)

(x-acceleration,y-acceleration) = (-17/27,-12/27) = (-0.629629629..., -0.444...)

angle of acceleration = tan^-1 (-0.444.../-0.629629...) = 35.21759 degrees below negative x-axis.

magnitude of acceleration = sqrt((-0.629629...)^2 + (-0.444...)^2) = 0.77069 (5dp)
