Answer:

Explanation:

a. WEIGHT: As we have seen, weight is the gravitational force exerted on an object by the Earth (or any other celestial body). If an object is near the Earth's surface and has mass, then the object has a weight. The magnitude of its weight is w = mg and its direction is toward the center of the Earth.

Every action has an equal or opposite reaction.
You weigh 60kg
<span>So your acceleration is 6N / 60 kg = 0.1m/s^2</span>

A -3.00 nc point charge is at the origin, and a second -5.50 nc point charge is on the x-axis at x = 0.800 m. find the electric

Liula [17]

The electric field produced by a single-point charge is given by

$E(r)=k\frac{q}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q is the charge

r is the distance from the charge

To find the electric field at x=0.200 m, we need to find the electric field produced by each charge at that point, and then find their resultant.

1) The first charge is $q=-3.00 nC=-3.00 \cdot 10^{-9} C$ , and it is located at x=0, so its distance from the point x=0.200 m is

$r=0.200 m-0=0.2 m$

Therefore, the electric field is

$E_1=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2})\frac{(3.0 \cdot 10^{-9} C)}{(0.2 m)^2}=675 N/C$

And since the charge is negative, the direction of the field is toward the charge, so toward negative x direction.

2) The second charge is $q=-5.50 nC=-5.5 \cdot 10^{-9}C$ and it is located at x=0.800 m, so its distance from the point is

$r=0.800 m-0.200 m=0.6 m$

Therefore, the electric field is

$E_2 = (8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2})\frac{(5.5 \cdot 10^{-9} C)}{(0.6 m)^2}=137.5 N$

And since the charge is negative, the direction of the field is toward the charge, so toward positive x-direction.

3) The total electric field at x=0.200 m will be given by the difference between the two fields (because they are in opposite directions). Taking the x-positive direction as positive direction, we have

$E=E_2 -E_1 =137.5 N/C/C-675 N/C=-537.5 N/C$

and the sign tells us that the field is directed toward negative x-direction.
