Answer:

F_T=6k\frac{Q^2}{L}\hat{i}+10k\frac{Q^2}{L}\hat{j}=2k\frac{Q^2}{L}[3\hat{i}+5\hat{j}]

|F_T|=2\sqrt{34}k\frac{Q^2}{L}

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{5}{3})=59.03\°

Explanation:

I attached an image below with the scheme of the system:

The total force on the charge 2Q is the sum of the contribution of the forces between 2Q and the other charges:

F_T=F_Q+F_{3Q}+F_{4Q}\\\\F_T=k\frac{(Q)(2Q)}{R_1}\hat{i}+k\frac{(3Q)(2Q)}{R_2}\hat{j}+k\frac{(4Q)(2Q)}{R_3}[cos\theta \hat{i}+sin\theta \hat{j}]

the distances R1, R2 and R3, for a square arrangement is:

R1 = L

R2 = L

R3 = (√2)L

θ = 45°

F_T=k\frac{2Q^2}{L}\hat{i}+k\frac{6Q^2}{L}\hat{j}+k\frac{8Q^2}{\sqrt{2}L}[cos(45\°)\hat{i}+sin(45\°)\hat{j}]\\\\F_T=k\frac{2Q^2}{L}\hat{i}+k\frac{6Q^2}{L}\hat{j}+k\frac{8Q^2}{\sqrt{2}L}[\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\hat{i}+\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\hat{j}]\\\\F_T=6k\frac{Q^2}{L}\hat{i}+10k\frac{Q^2}{L}\hat{j}=2k\frac{Q^2}{L}[3\hat{i}+5\hat{j}]

and the magnitude is:

|F_T|=2k\frac{Q^2}{L}\sqrt{3^2+5^2}=2\sqrt{34}k\frac{Q^2}{L}

the direction is:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{5}{3})=59.03\°

What does a worm and wheel mechanism do to torque and speed​
sergejj [24]

Answer:Explanation:

Image result for what does a worm and wheel mechanism do to torque and speed​

Like other gear arrangements, a worm drive can reduce rotational speed or transmit higher torque. ... Each full 360 degree turn of a single start worm advances the gear by one tooth. For a multi start worm the gear reduction equals the number of teeth on the gear divided by the number of starts on the worm.

The critical angle for a certain air-liquid surface is 47.7°. What is the index of refraction of the liquid? Round to the neares
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The index of refraction of the liquid is 1.35.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Critical angle for a certain air-liquid surface, \theta_1=47.7^{\circ}

Let n₁ is the refractive index of liquid and n₂ is the refractive index of air, n₂ =1

Using Snell's law for air liquid interface as :

n_1\ sin\theta_1=n_2\ sin(90)

n_1\ sin(47.7)=1

n_1=\dfrac{1}{sin(47.7)}

n_1=1.35

So, the index of refraction of the liquid is 1.35. Hence, this is the required solution.

Assume a small 11 kg crate is attached to a parachute. The chute pulls up on the crate with 150 N.
MaRussiya [10]

Explanation:

a. The net force is the upward force of the chute minus the weight of the crate.

∑F = F − mg

∑F = 150 N − (11 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

∑F = 42.2 N

b. From Newton's second law, the net force equals the mass times acceleration:

∑F = ma

42.2 N = (11 kg) a

a = 3.84 m/s²

c. Acceleration is the change in velocity over change in time.  Assuming the crate is released from rest:

v = at + v₀

v = (3.84 m/s²) (5 s) + (0 m/s)

v = 19.2 m/s

coldgirl [10]

The combination of decay processes that would convert U-239 into PU- 239 is beta decay followed by another beta decay. There are two different types of beta decay (positive and negative beta decays) they both occur simultaneously in order to move the atoms towards stability.
