A third point charge q3 is now positioned halfway between q1 and q2. The net force on q2 now has a magnitude of F2,net = 14.413

natima [27]

Answer:

The value of charge q₃ is 40.46 μC.

Explanation:

Given that.

Magnitude of net force $F=14.413\ N$

Suppose a point charge q₁ = -3 μC is located at the origin of a co-ordinate system. Another point charge q₂ = 7.7 μC is located along the x-axis at a distance x₂ = 8.2 cm from q₁. Charge q₂ is displaced a distance y₂ = 3.1 cm in the positive y-direction.

We need to calculate the distance

Using Pythagorean theorem

$r=\sqrt{x_{2}^2+y_{2}^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$r=\sqrt{(8.2\times10^{-2})^2+(3.1\times10^{-2})^2}$

$r=0.0876\ m$

We need to calculate the magnitude of the charge q₃

Using formula of net force

$F_{12}=kq_{2}(\dfrac{q_{3}}{r_{3}^2}+\dfrac{q_{1}}{r_{1}^2})$

Put the value into the formula

$14.413=9\times10^{9}\times7.7\times10^{-6}(\dfrac{q_{3}}{(0.0438)^2}+\dfrac{-3\times10^{-6}}{(0.0876)^2})$

$(\dfrac{q_{3}}{(4.38\times10^{-2})^2}+\dfrac{-3\times10^{-6}}{(0.0876)^2})=\dfrac{14.413}{9\times10^{9}\times7.7\times10^{-6}}$

$\dfrac{q_{3}}{(0.0438)^2}=207\times10^{-4}+3.909\times10^{-4}$

$q_{3}=0.0210909\times(0.0438)^2$

$q_{3}=40.46\times10^{-6}\ C$

$q_{3}=40.46\ \mu C$

Hence, The value of charge q₃ is 40.46 μC.

A potential energy function is given by U(x)=(3.00J)x+(1.00J/m2)x3. What is the force function F(x) (in newtons) that is associa

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

$F(x)=-3 N - (3N)x^2$

Explanation:

The force is defined as the negative of the derivative of the potential energy:

$F=-\frac{dU}{dx}$

If we use the potential energy function given in this problem:

$U(x)=3.00 x + 1.00 x^3$

and we calculate the force, we get:

$F(x)=-\frac{d}{dx}(3x+x^3)=-3-3x^2$

So, the force is

$F(x)=-3 N - (3N)x^2$

Light travels in a straight line at a constant speed of 300000 m/s. What is the acceleration of light?

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

As light travels in a straight line at a constant speed, it's acceleration is <u>0 m/s²</u>.

There is no rate of change of speed, so there is no acceleration.

<u>0 m/s²</u> is the right answer.
