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.

Name two kinds of longitudinal waves and explain how you know they are longitudinal
jasenka [17]
First of all Longitudinal waves is a matter in the medium that moves parallel to the direction of the wave travels. 
1st example: sound travels parallel.
2nd example: when you talk you will here your voice again. because all the frequency bounce back to you.

In the other hand Transverse wave matter in the medium moves perpendicular to direction the wave travels.
For example: light is a good example of transverse wave.

An airplane accelerates from rest to its required takeoff speed with an acceleration 5.0 m/s^2 after travelling on the runway a
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

.75 km = 750 m

acceleration a = 5 m/s²

distance s = 750 m

initial velocity u = 0

Final velocity v = ?

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0 + 2 x 5 x 750

v = 86.60 m /s.

A jet airliner moving initially at 548 mph
sasho [114]

Let's choose the "east" direction as positive x-direction. The new velocity of the jet is the vector sum of two velocities: the initial velocity of the jet, which is

v_1 =548 mph along the x-direction

v_2 = 343 mph in a direction 67^{\circ} north of east.

To find the resultant, we must resolve both vectors on the x- and y- axis:

v_{1x}= 548 mph

v_{1y}=0

v_{2x} = (343 mph)( cos 67^{\circ})=134.0 mph

v_{2y} = (343 mph)( sin 67^{\circ})=315.7 mph

So, the components of the resultant velocity in the two directions are

v_{x}=548 mph+134 mph=682 mph

v_{y}=0 mph+315.7 mph=315.7 mph

So the new speed of the aircraft is:

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(682 mph)^2+(315.7 mph)^2}=751.5 mph
