A charge q1 = +5.00 nC is placed at the origin of an xy-coordinate system, and a charge q2 = -2.00 nC is placed on the positive

x-axis at x = 4.00 cm. (a) If a third charge q3 = +6.00 nC is now placed at the point x = 4.00 cm, y = 3.00 cm, find the x- and y-components of the total force exerted on this charge by the other two. (b) Find the magnitude and direction of this force

Answer:

a

The  x- and y-components of the total force exerted is

           F_{31 +32} =  (8.64i - 5.52 j) *10^{-5}

b

 The magnitude of the force is  

            |F_{31 +32}| = 10.25 *10^{-5} N

   The direction of the force is  

         \theta =327.43 ^o   Clockwise from x-axis

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The magnitude of the first charge is q_1 = +5.00nC = 5.00*10^{-9}C

      The magnitude of the second charge is q_2 = -2.00nC = -2.00*10^{-9}C

        The position of the second charge  from the first one is  d_{12} = 4.00i \  cm = \frac{4.00i}{100} = 4.00i *10^{-2} m

        The  magnitude of the third charge is q_3 = +6.00nC = 6.00*10^{-9}C

       The position of the third charge from the first one is  \= d_{31} = (4i + 3j) cm = \frac{ (4i + 3j)}{100} =  (4i + 3j) *10^{-2}m

                |d_{31}| =(\sqrt{4 ^2 + 3^2}) *10^{-2} m

                |d_{31}| =5 *10^{-2} m

        The position of the third charge from the second  one is

                \= d_{32} = 3j cm = 3j *10^{-2}m

               |d_{32}| =(\sqrt{ 3^2}) *10^{-2} m

               |d_{32}| =3 *10^{-2} m

The force acting on the third charge due to the first and second charge is mathematically represented as

           F_{31 +32} = \frac{kq_3 q_1}{|d_{31}| ^3} *\= d_{31} + \frac{kq_3 q_2}{|d_{32}| ^3} *\= d_{32}

 Substituting values

          F_{31 +32} = \frac{9 *10^9 * 6 *10^{-9} * 5*10^{-9} }{(5*10^{-2}) ^3}  * (4i + 3j ) *10^{-2}  \\ \ +  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \   \frac{9 *10^9 * 6 *10^{-9} * -2*10^{-9} }{(5*10^{-2}) ^3}  * (4i + 3j ) *10^{-2}

            F_{31 +32} = 2.16 *10^{-5} (4i + 3j)  - 12*10^{-5} j

            F_{31 +32} =  (8.64i - 5.52 j) *10^{-5}

The magnitude of     F_{31 +32}  is mathematically evaluated as

            |F_{31 +32}| = \sqrt{(8.64^2 + 5.52 ^2) } *10^{-5}

             |F_{31 +32}| = 10.25 *10^{-5} N

The direction is obtained as

            tan \theta = \frac{-5.52 *10^{-5}}{8.64 *10^{-5}}

              \theta = tan ^{-1} [-0.63889]

             \theta = - 32.57 ^o

             \theta = 360 - 32.57

            \theta =327.43 ^o

Person is lifting a 250 N dumbbell. The weight is 30 cm from the pivot point of the elbow. What force must be exerted five from
qwelly [4]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

The force, F, is applied at 5 cm from the elbow.

For dynamic equilibrium, the sum of moments about the elbow is zero.
Take moments about the elbow.
(5 cm)*(F N) - (30 cm)*(250 N) = 0
F = (30*250)/5 = 1500 N

Answer: 1500 N

Nataliya [291]

Answer: RATE ME AND MAKE ME BRAININESS AND THANK ME

Explanation:Sound waves are pressure waves that travel through Earth's crust, water bodies, and atmosphere. Natural sound frequencies specify the frequency attributes of sound waves that will efficiently induce vibration in a body (e.g., the tympanic membrane of the ear) or that naturally result from the vibration of that body.

Sound waves can potentiate or cancel in accord with the principle of superposition and whether they are in phase or out of phase with each other. Waves of all forms can undergo constructive or destructive interference. Sound waves also exhibit Doppler shifts—an apparent change in frequency due to relative motion between the source of sound emission and the receiving point. When sound waves move toward an observer the Doppler effect shifts observed frequencies higher. When sound waves move away from an observer the Doppler effect shifted observed frequencies lower. The Doppler effect is commonly and easily observed in the passage of planes, trains, and automobiles.

The speed of propagation of a sound wave is dependent upon the density of the medium of transmission. Weather conditions (e.g., temperature , pressure, humidity , etc.) and certain geophysical and topographical features (e.g., mountains or hills) can obstruct sound transmission. The alteration of sound waves by commonly encountered meteorological conditions is generally negligible except when the sound waves propagate over long distances or emanate from a high frequency source. In the extreme cases, atmospheric conditions can bend or alter sound wave transmission.
