Find the direction and magnitude of the net force exerted on the point charge q3 in the figure. Let q= +2.4 μC and d= 33cm.

kobusy [5.1K]

With the use of electric force formula, the direction and magnitude of the net force exerted on the point charge q3 are 9.9 x $10^{11}$ N and 66 degrees

ELECTRIC FORCE (F)

F = $\frac{KQq}{d^{2} }$

Where K = 9 x $10^{9}$ N $m^{2}$ / $C^{2}$

The distance between $q_{1}$ and $q_{3}$ can be calculated by using Pythagoras theorem.

d = $\sqrt{33^{2} + 33^{2} }$

d = 46.7 cm = 0.467 m

For force $F_{1}$ , substitute all the parameters into the formula above

$F_{1}$ = (9 x $10^{9}$ x 3 x 1)/ $0.467^{2}$

$F_{1}$ = 2.7 x $10^{10}$ /0.218

$F_{1}$ = 1.24 x $10^{11}$ N

For force $F_{4}$ , substitute all the parameters into the formula above

$F_{4}$ = (9 x $10^{9}$ x 3 x 4)/ $0.33^{2}$

$F_{4}$ = 1.08 x $10^{11}$ /0.1089

$F_{4}$ = 9.92 x $10^{11}$ N

For force $F_{2}$ , substitute all the parameters into the formula above

$F_{2}$ = (9 x $10^{9}$ x 3 x 2)/ $0.33^{2}$

$F_{2}$ = 5.4 x $10^{10}$ /0.1089

$F_{2}$ = 4.96 x $10^{11}$ N

Summation of forces on Y component will be

$F_{y}$ = $F_{4}$ - $F_{1}$ Sin 45

$F_{y}$ = 9.92 x $10^{11}$ - 1.24 x $10^{11}$ Sin 45

$F_{y}$ = 9.04 x $10^{11}$ N

Summation of forces on X component will be

$F_{x}$ = $F_{2}$ - $F_{1}$ Cos 45

$F_{x}$ = 4.96 x $10^{11}$ - 1.24 x $10^{11}$ Sin 45

$F_{x}$ = 4.08 x $10^{11}$ N

Net Force = $\sqrt{F_{x} ^{2} + F_{y} ^{2} } }$

Net force = $\sqrt{(4.08*10^{11}) ^{2} + (9.04*10^{11}) ^{2} }$

Net force = 9.9 x $10^{11}$ N

The direction will be

Tan ∅ = $F_{y}$ / $F_{x}$

Tan ∅ = 9.04 x $10^{11}$ / 4.08 x $10^{11}$

Tan ∅ = 2.216

∅ = $Tan^{-1}$ (2.216)

∅ = 65.7 degrees

Therefore, the direction and magnitude of the net force exerted on the point charge q3 are 9.9 x $10^{11}$ N and 66 degrees approximately.

How is energy conserved in a transformation?

irina [24]

As the water plunges, its velocity increases. Its potential energy becomes kineticenergy. The law of conservation of energy states that when one form of energy istransformed to another, no energy is destroyed in the process. ... So the total amount of energy is the same before and after any transformation.

Captain John Stapp is often referred to as the "fastest man on Earth." In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Stapp ran the U.S. Air

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The sled needed a distance of 92.22 m and a time of 1.40 s to stop.

Explanation:

The relationship between velocities and time is described by this equation: $v_f=v_0+a*t$ , where $v_f$ is the final velocity, $v_0$ is the initial velocity, $a$ the acceleration, and $t$ is the time during such acceleration is applied.

Solving the equation for the time, and applying to the case: $t=\frac{v_f-v_0}{a}=\frac{0\frac{m}{s}-282\frac{m}{s} }{-201\frac{m}{s^2} }=1.40s$ , where $v_f=0\frac{m}{s}$ because the sled is totally stopped, $v_0=282\frac{m}{s}$ is the velocity of the sled before braking and, $a=-201\frac{m}{s^2}$ is negative because the deceleration applied by the brakes.

In the other hand, the equation that describes the distance in term of velocities and acceleration: $x_f-x_0=v_0*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2$ , where $x_f-x_0$ is the distance traveled, $v_0$ is the initial velocity, $t$ the time of the process and, $a$ is the acceleration of the process.
