Answer:

If all these three charges are positive with a magnitude of 1.8 \times 10^{-8}\; \rm C each, the electric potential at the midpoint of segment \rm AB would be approximately 8.3 \times 10^{3}\; \rm V.

Explanation:

Convert the unit of the length of each side of this triangle to meters: 10\; \rm cm = 0.10\; \rm m.

Distance between the midpoint of \rm AB and each of the three charges:

  • d({\rm A}) = 0.050\; \rm m.
  • d({\rm B}) = 0.050\; \rm m.
  • d({\rm C}) = \sqrt{3} \times (0.050\; \rm m).

Let k denote Coulomb's constant (k \approx 8.99 \times 10^{9}\; \rm N \cdot m^{2} \cdot C^{-2}.)

Electric potential due to the charge at \rm A: \displaystyle \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm A})}.

Electric potential due to the charge at \rm B: \displaystyle \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm B})}.

Electric potential due to the charge at \rm A: \displaystyle \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm C})}.

While forces are vectors, electric potentials are scalars. When more than one electric fields are superposed over one another, the resultant electric potential at some point would be the scalar sum of the electric potential at that position due to each of these fields.

Hence, the electric field at the midpoint of \rm AB due to all these three charges  would be:

\begin{aligned}& \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm A})} + \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm B})} + \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm C})} \\ &= k\, \left(\frac{q}{d({\rm A})} + \frac{q}{d({\rm B})} + \frac{q}{d({\rm C})}\right) \\ &\approx 8.99 \times 10^{9}\; \rm N \cdot m^{2} \cdot C^{-2} \\ & \quad \quad \times \left(\frac{1.8 \times 10^{-8} \; \rm C}{0.050\; \rm m} + \frac{1.8 \times 10^{-8} \; \rm C}{0.050\; \rm m} + \frac{1.8 \times 10^{-8} \; \rm C}{\sqrt{3} \times (0.050\; \rm m)}\right) \\ &\approx 8.3 \times 10^{3}\; \rm V\end{aligned}.

Reuptake refers to the...
Arada [10]

Reuptake refers to the REABSORPTION of excess neurotransmitter molecules by a sending neuron (Option b).

Reuptake is the mechanism by which cells reabsorb chemical messengers produced and secreted by them. In nerve terminals, reuptake is used to reabsorb released neurotransmitters.

The reuptake mechanism is exploited in therapeutics for the development of target drugs and treatments.

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that acts to stabilize different emotions such as mood, feelings of well-being, appetite and happiness.

For example, serotonin reuptake inhibitors which are capable of blocking the reuptake of serotonin to modulate serotonin brain levels have recently been developed.

What is an asteroid that is pulled off course by a planet’s gravity and orbits around that planet called?
tresset_1 [31]

The definition of the celestial bodies allows us to find that the correct answer for a body that is captured and is in planetary orbit is:

  • Moon

Asteroids are small rocky bodies that rotate around the Sun, when this body enters the atmosphere of a planet and reaches the surface it is called meteoroids.

A meteorite is a fragment of meteoroid, which has been divided in space or the atmosphere during the entrance to the planet, in general they are smaller

A meteor is the atmospheric phenomenon that occurs when the pattern meteorite or meteoroid enters, that is, it does not correspond to a celestial body.

An asteroid satellite or Moon is a celestial object that revolves captures and around another asteroid, this concept can be extended to an asteroid revolving captures and around a planet

A satellite is a celestial body that orbits a planet, its origin is varied and could be formed during the formation of the planet itself, or by capturing a nearby body during the initial formation of the solar system.

Let's examine the different answers

  • Moon.

True. A body captured by a planet is generally called the Moon.

  • Meteoriode.

False. A meteoroid is a body that enters the atmosphere of the plant and reaches its surface.

  • Meteorite

False. It is a fragment of meteoroid that manages to reach the surface of the planet.

  • Meteor

False.   Atmospheric phenomenon visible when passing a meteoroid or meteorite.

In conclusion, using the definition of celestial bodies we can find that the correct answer for a body that is captured and is in planetary orbit is:

  • Moon
