Answer:
1. Largest force: C; smallest force: B; 2. ratio = 9:1
Explanation:
The formula for the force exerted between two charges is

where K is the Coulomb constant.
q₁ and q₂ are also identical and constant, so Kq₁q₂ is also constant.
For simplicity, let's combine Kq₁q₂ into a single constant, k.
Then, we can write

1. Net force on each particle
Let's
- Call the distance between adjacent charges d.
- Remember that like charges repel and unlike charges attract.
Define forces exerted to the right as positive and those to the left as negative.
(a) Force on A

(b) Force on B

(C) Force on C

(d) Force on D

(e) Relative net forces
In comparing net forces, we are interested in their magnitude, not their direction (sign), so we use their absolute values.

2. Ratio of largest force to smallest

Answer:
The initial velocity was 9.39 m/s
Explanation:
<em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>
The ball is thrown straight upward with initial velocity u
The ball reaches a maximum height of 4.5 m
At the maximum height velocity v = 0
The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s²
We need to find the initial velocity
The best rule to find the initial velocity is <em>v² = u² + 2ah</em>, where v is
the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration of
gravity and h is the height
⇒ v = 0 , h = 4.5 m , a = -9.8 m/s²
⇒ 0 = u² + 2(-9.8)(4.5)
⇒ 0 = u² - 88.2
Add 88.2 to both sides
⇒ 88.2 = u²
Take square root for both sides
⇒ u = 9.39 m/s
<em>The initial velocity was 9.39 m/s</em>
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Find the NET forces on the objects
A 20==>
B 0
C 30==>
D 15==>
So biggest accel = C because it has the most force acting on it
next is A because it has the next biggest force
next is D then B ...B has no net force acting on it
Answer:
(a) 
(b) The charge inside the shell is placed at the center of the sphere and negatively charged.
Explanation:
Gauss’ Law can be used to determine the system.

This is the net charge inside the sphere which causes the Electric field at the surface of the shell. Since the E-field is constant over the shell, then this charge is at the center and negatively charged because the E-field is radially inward.
The negative charge at the center attracts the same amount of positive charge at the surface of the shell.
An aquifer is the most expected feature that is likely to be reach after drilling through the unsaturated zone. Aquifer has tendency to transform ground water to the surface through voids. The depth of aquifer varies.
