Answer:

The x-component of the electric field at the origin = -11.74 N/C.

The y-component of the electric field at the origin = 97.41 N/C.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Charge on first charged particle, q_1=-4.10\ nC=-4.10\times 10^{-9}\ C.
  • Charge on the second charged particle, q_2=3.80\ nC=3.80\times 10^{-9}\ C.
  • Position of the first charge = (x_1=0.00\ m,\ y_1=0.600\ m).
  • Position of the second charge = (x_2=1.50\ m,\ y_2=0.650\ m).

The electric field at a point due to a charge q at a point r distance away is given by

\vec E = \dfrac{kq}{|\vec r|^2}\ \hat r.

where,

  • k = Coulomb's constant, having value \rm 8.99\times 10^9\ Nm^2/C^2.
  • \vec r = position vector of the point where the electric field is to be found with respect to the position of the charge q.
  • \hat r = unit vector along \vec r.

The electric field at the origin due to first charge is given by

\vec E_1 = \dfrac{kq_1}{|\vec r_1|^2}\ \hat r_1.

\vec r_1 is the position vector of the origin with respect to the position of the first charge.

Assuming, \hat i,\ \hat j are the units vectors along x and y axes respectively.

\vec r_1=(0-x_1)\hat i+(0-y_1)\hat j\\=(0-0)\hat i+(0-0.6)\hat j\\=-0.6\hat j.\\\\|\vec r_1| = 0.6\ m.\\\hat r_1=\dfrac{\vec r_1}{|\vec r_1|}=\dfrac{0.6\ \hat j}{0.6}=-\hat j.

Using these values,

\vec E_1 = \dfrac{(8.99\times 10^9)\times (-4.10\times 10^{-9})}{(0.6)^2}\ (-\hat j)=1.025\times 10^2\ N/C\ \hat j.

The electric field at the origin due to the second charge is given by

\vec E_2 = \dfrac{kq_2}{|\vec r_2|^2}\ \hat r_2.

\vec r_2 is the position vector of the origin with respect to the position of the second charge.

\vec r_2=(0-x_2)\hat i+(0-y_2)\hat j\\=(0-1.50)\hat i+(0-0.650)\hat j\\=-1.5\hat i-0.65\hat j.\\\\|\vec r_2| = \sqrt{(-1.5)^2+(-0.65)^2}=1.635\ m.\\\hat r_2=\dfrac{\vec r_2}{|\vec r_2|}=\dfrac{-1.5\hat i-0.65\hat j}{1.634}=-0.918\ \hat i-0.398\hat j.

Using these values,

\vec E_2= \dfrac{(8.99\times 10^9)\times (3.80\times 10^{-9})}{(1.635)^2}(-0.918\ \hat i-0.398\hat j) =-11.74\ \hat i-5.09\ \hat j\  N/C.

The net electric field at the origin due to both the charges is given by

\vec E = \vec E_1+\vec E_2\\=(102.5\ \hat j)+(-11.74\ \hat i-5.09\ \hat j)\\=-11.74\ \hat i+(102.5-5.09)\hat j\\=(-11.74\ \hat i+97.41\ \hat j)\ N/C.

Thus,

x-component of the electric field at the origin = -11.74 N/C.

y-component of the electric field at the origin = 97.41 N/C.

How many forces are acting on a stationary raft floating in a swimming pool A1 B2 or C3
Hitman42 [59]
There are at least two forces on it, and there could be more.

Vertical forces:
-- gravity, directed downward
-- buoyant force, directed upward
These two forces must be exactly equal, so that the net
vertical force on the raft is zero.  Otherwise, it would be
accelerating either up or down.

Horizontal forces:
We know that the net horizontal force on the raft is zero. 
Otherwise, it would be accelerating horizontally.

But we don't know if there are actually no horizontal forces
at all, or a balanced group of horizontal forces, that add up
to a net force of zero.

Air flows upward in the wick of a lantern because of the liquid property called
vovangra [49]

Adhesive.

Adhesive is the force of attraction between molecules of different kind. Liquid flows upward the wick because the adhesive force between the wick and the liquid is higher than cohesive forces in the liquid.

When the adhesive  force  between the wick and the liquid is high we have capillarity taking place. This cause the liquid to move up the wick.
