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}.

The diagram shows the movement of air as a result of convection currents. At which point is the air at its highest density?
stellarik [79]

When you bring two objects of different temperature together, energy will always be transferred from the hotter to the cooler object.  The objects will exchange thermal energy, until thermal equilibrium is reached, i.e. until their temperatures are equal.  We say that heat flows from the hotter to the cooler object.  Heat is energy on the move.  

Units of heat are units of energy.  The SI unit of energy is Joule.  Other often encountered units of energy are 1 Cal = 1 kcal = 4186 J, 1 cal = 4.186 J, 1 Btu = 1054 J.

Without an external agent doing work, heat will always flow from a hotter to a cooler object.  Two objects of different temperature always interact.  There are three different ways for heat to flow from one object to another.  They are conduction, convection, and radiation.

According to Newton's 2nd Law of Motion, if the mass of an object is 10 kg and the force is 10 newtons, then the acceleration is
Mkey [24]

According to Newton's second Law of motion, if the mass of an object is 10 kg and the force is 10 newtons, then the acceleration is 1m/s².

<h3>How to calculate acceleration?</h3>

The acceleration of a moving body can be calculated by dividing the force of the body by its mass.

According to this question, the mass of an object is 10 kg and the force is 10 newtons, then the acceleration can be calculated as follows:

acceleration = 10N ÷ 10kg

acceleration = 1m/s²

Therefore, according to Newton's second Law of motion, if the mass of an object is 10 kg and the force is 10 newtons, then the acceleration is 1m/s².
