A point charge is placed at each corner of square with side leanth a. The charges all have same magnitude q. My question, What i
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

 E = k q / a²   (1.3535) (- i ^ + j ^)

  E = k q / a²  1.914  ,      θ’= 135

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Newton's second law where we must add as vectors

        E_total = E₁₂ i ^ + E₁₄ j ^ + E₁₃

Let's look for the value of each term

On the x axis

       E₁₂ = k q / a²

On the y axis

       E₁₄ = k q / a²

For the charge in the opposite corner we look for the distance

        d = √ (a² + a²) = a √2

let's look for the field

      E₁₃ = k q / d²

      E₁₃ = k q / 2a²

let's use trigonometry to find the two components of this field

       cos 45 = E₁₃ₓ / E₁₃

       E₁₃ₓ = E₁₃ cos 45

       

       sin 45 = E_{13y} / E₁₃

       E_{13y} = E₁₃ sin 45

       E₁₃ₓ = k q / 2a²  cos 45

       E_{13y} = k q / 2a²  sin 45

let's find each component of the electric field

X axis

      Eₓ = -E₁₂ - E₁₃ₓ

      Eₓ = - k q / a² - k q / 2a² cos 45

      Eₓ = - k q / a² (1 + cos 45/2)

      cos 45 = sin 45 = 0.707

      Eₓ = - k q / a²   (1 + 0.707 / 2)

      Eₓ = - k q / a²    (1.3535)

Y axis  

      E_y = E₁₄ + E_{13y}

       E_y = k q / a² + k q / 2a²     sin 45

       E_y = k q / a² (1 + sin 45/2)

       E_y = k q / a²       (1.3535)

we can give the results in two ways

       E = k q / a²   (1.3535) (- i ^ + j ^)

In modulus and angle form, let's use Pythagoras' theorem for the angle

       E = √ (Eₓ² + E_y²)

        E = k q / a²    1.3535 √2

        E = k q / a²     1.914

we use trigonometry for the angle

        tan θ = E_y / Eₓ

         θ = tan⁻¹  (E_y / Eₓ)

         θ = tan⁻¹ (1 / -1)

         θ = 45

in the third quadrant, if we measure the angle of the positive side of the x-axis

           θ‘= 90 + 45

           θ’= 135

How many orders of magnitude (powers of ten) is the distance to the moon greater than the distance across the Atlantic ocean?
kupik [55]

Answer:

The distance to the moon greater than the distance across the Atlantic ocean by an order of 1.

Explanation:

We have the average distance across the Atlantic ocean, d_i=3700\ mi

the average distance to the moon, d_m=238,900\ mi

The factor by which the distance to moon is greater than the width of Atlantic ocean:

f=\frac{d_m}{d_i}

f=\frac{238,900}{3700}

f=64.57

i.e.

the distance to the moon greater than the distance across the Atlantic ocean by an order of 1.
