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\°

Zolol [24]
The temperature difference of 1 K is equivalent to the temperature difference of 1 °C. Therefore, we find the relationship between the change in °F and °C.
A change of 212 - 32 °F is the same as a change of 100 - 0 °C. Thus:
(212 - 32) °F = (100 - 0) °C
1 °C = 1.8 °F
1 K = 1.8 °F

Please help me thank you !!!!
Fantom [35]

Answer:

<em>UP</em>

Explanation:

heat flows from higher level to lower level

( higher concentration to lower concentration )

and since temperature in above block is less than the lower block, the heat will flow from lower block to higher block .

( Up )

On your way to the dance through there is some slow driving person in front of you so you slam on the gas going 30 mi/hr to 60 m
Paraphin [41]
1) Acceleration

Use the equations of unformly accelerate motion

acceleration = [change in velocity] / [time elapsed] = [60 mi/h - 30 mi/h] / 10 s

acceleration = 30mi/h / 10 s

30mi/h * 1609m/mi * 1h/3600 s = 13.41 m/s

acceleration = 13.41 m/s / 10s = 1.34 m / s^2

2) distance = Vo.t + [1/2]a*t^2 = [13.41 m/s]*10s + [1/2]*1.34 m/s *(10s)^2 = 201.1 m

A 0.468 g sample of pentane, C 5H 12, was burned in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature of the calorimeter and 1.00 kg of water
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Q_{lost} per mole of pentane = 3157.53 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of pentane, m = 0.468 gram

Molar mass of pentane, M = 72.15

Now, mol of pentane, n = mass/M = 0.468/72.15 = 0.00648 mol of C5H12

Now,

ΔT = 23.65 - 20.45 = 3.2°C

Heat capacity of the calorimeter, C = 2.21 kJ/°C

Specific heat capacity of the water, Cp = 4.184  J/g.°C

Now,

the heat gained = the heat lost

Q_{gained} = -Q_{lost}

also,

Q_{gained} = Q_{water} + Q_{calorimeter}

Q_{water} = m\times C\times(T_f-T_i)

or

Q_{water} = 1000\times4.184\times(23.65-20.45) = 13388.8\ J

and

Q_{calorimeter} = C\times\Delta T = 2.21\times1000\times3.2 = 7072\ J

Now,

Q_{total} = 13388.8 +7072 = 20460.8\ J

we have,

Q_{lost} = -Q_{gain} = - 20460.8\ J (Here negative sign depicts the release of the heat)

Q_{lost} per mole of pentane =-20460.8/(0.00648 ) = 3157.53 kJ/mol
