Answer:

q₁= +0.5nC

Explanation:

Theory of electrical forces

Because the particle q3 is close to three other electrically charged particles, it will experience two electrical forces and the solution of the problem is of a vector nature.

To solve this problem we apply Coulomb's law:

Two point charges (q1, q2) separated by a distance (d) exert a mutual force (F) whose magnitude is determined by the following formula:

o solve this problem we apply Coulomb's law:  

Two point charges (q₁, q₂) separated by a distance (d) exert a mutual force (F) whose magnitude is determined by the following formula:  

F=K*q₁*q₂/d² Formula (1)  

F: Electric force in Newtons (N)

K : Coulomb constant in N*m²/C²

q₁,q₂:Charges in Coulombs (C)  

d: distance between the charges in meters

Data:

Equivalences

1nC= 10⁻⁹ C

1cm= 10⁻² m

Data

q₃=+5.00 nC =+5* 10⁻⁹ C

q₂= -2.00 nC =-2* 10⁻⁹ C

d₂= 5.00 cm= 5*10⁻² m

d₁= 2.50 cm=  2.5*10⁻² m

k = 8.99*10⁹ N*m²/C²

Calculation of magnitude and sign of q1

Fn₃=0 : net force on q3 equals zero

F₂₃:The force F₂₃ that exerts q₂ on q₃ is attractive because the charges have opposite signs,in direction +x.

F₁₃:The force F₂₃ that exerts q₂ on q₃ must go in the -x direction so that Fn₃ is zero, therefore q₁ must be positive and F₂₃ is repulsive.

We propose the algebraic sum of the forces on q₃

F₂₃ - F₁₃=0

\frac{k*q_{2} *q_{3} }{d_{2}^{2}  } -\frac{k*q_{1} *q_{3} }{d_{1}^{2}  }=0

We eliminate k*q₃ of the equation

\frac{q_{1} }{d_{1}^{2}  } = \frac{q_{2} }{d_{2}^{2}  }

q_{1} =\frac{q_{2} *d_{1} ^{2} }{d_{2}^{2}  }

q_{1} =\frac{2*10^{-9}*2.5^{2}*10^{-4}   }{5^{2}*10^{-4}  }

q₁= +0.5*10⁻⁹ C

q₁= +0.5nC

What is the reaction force for sky diving?
DIA [1.3K]
As the skydiver accelerates she gains momentum, and the air she passes through creates a resistance that pushes back up at her, increasing drag. Eventually, the force of the resisting air balances out with the force of gravity, and the skydiver stops speeding up

1. A huge spool of wire, 10,000 meters long, weighs 81.34 N. You cut off a meter or so and tie it between two posts, 0.660 m apa
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The beat frequency is 6.378 Hz.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of wire = 10000 m

Weight = 81.34 N

Distance = 0.660 m

Tension = 52 N

Frequency = 196 Hz

We need to calculate the mass of the wire

Using formula of weight

W= mg

m = \dfrac{W}{g}

Put the value into the formula

m=\dfrac{81.34}{9.8}

m=8.3\ kg

The mass per unit length of the wire

m_{l}=\dfrac{m}{l}

Put the value into the formula

m_{l}=\dfrac{8.3}{10000}

m_{l}=8.3\times10^{-4}\ kg/m

We need to calculate the frequency in the wire

Using formula of frequency

f_{w}=\dfrac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{m_{l}}}

Put the value into the formula

f_{w}=\dfrac{1}{2\times0.660 }\sqrt{\dfrac{52}{8.3\times10^{-4}}}

f_{w}=189.62\ Hz

We need to calculate the beat frequency

Using formula of beat frequency

f_{b}=f_{in}-f_{w}

Put the value into the formula

f_{b}=196-189.622

f_{b}=6.378\ Hz

Hence, The beat frequency is 6.378 Hz.
