three point charges are arranged in a line. charge q3=+5.00 nC and is located at the origin. charge q2=-3.00 nC and is located a

Answer:

$q_1=+0.375\ {10}^{-9}$

Explanation:

Electrostatic Forces

The force exerted between two point charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ separated a distance d is given by Coulomb's formula

$\displaystyle F=\frac{k\ q_1\ q_2}{d^2}$

The forces are attractive if the charges have different signs and repulsive if they have equal signs.

The problem described in the question locates three point charges in a straight line. The charges have the values shown below

$\displaystyle q_3=+5\ 10^{-9}\ c$

$\displaystyle q_2=-3\ 10^{-9}\ c$

The distance between $q_3$ and $q_2$ is

$\displaystyle d_2=4cm=0.04\ m$

The distance between $q_3$ and $q_1$ is

$\displaystyle d_1=2cm=0.02\ m$

We must find the value of $q_1$ such that

$\displaystyle |F_3|=0$

Applying Coulomb's formula for $q_1$ is

$\displaystyle F_{13}=\frac{k\ q_1\ q_3}{d_1^2}$

Now for $q_2$

$\displaystyle F_{23}=\frac{k\ q_2\ q_3}{d_2^2}$

If the total force on $q_3$ is zero, both forces must be equal. Note that being q2 negative, the force on q3 is to the right. The force exerted by q1 must go to the left, thus q1 must be positive. Equating the forces we have:

$\displaystyle F_{13}=F_{23}$

$\displaystyle \frac{k\ q_1\ q_3}{d_1^2}=\frac{k\ q_2\ q_3}{d_2^2}$

Simplfying and solving for $q_1$

$\displaystyle q_1=\frac{q_2\ d_1^2}{d_2^2}$

$\displaystyle q_1=\frac{3.10^{-9}\ 0.02^2}{0.04^2}$

$\boxed{\displaystyle q_1=+0.375\ {10}^{-9}}$

Does gravity affect your weight???

Degger [83]

Weight is a force caused by gravity. The weight of an object is the gravitational force between the object and the Earth. The more mass the object has the greater its weight will be.

a balloon inflated in a room at 297k has a volume of 4.00 l. the balloon is then heated to a temperature of 331 k. what is the n

Naddika [18.5K]

V2 = 4.4579 L

Since pressure is constant, use Charle’s law.
Charles's law, a statement that the volume occupied by a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, if the pressure remains constant.

V(olume) 1 = V(olume) 2
————— —————
T(emperature) 1 T(emperature)2

4.00 L = V2
———- ———
297 K 331 K

Cross multiply
(4.00 L x 331 K) = (297 K x V2)
Simplify
1324 L/K = 297 K x V2
Isolate V2 by dividing out 297 K
1324 L/K = V2
————
297 K
(This cancels out the kelvin and leaves you with Liters as the volume measure)

V2 = 4.4579 L

Round to significant digits if required
