Imagine a negative test charge sitting at the coordinate origin (0,0). Two bunches of positive charges are located on the x-axis

and the y-axis, respectively, so that the vectors of the respective electric forces, which the test charge experiences, point from the origin at points (1,0) and (0,1), respectively. The total force vector, which the test charge experiences, points from the origin at the point __________

Answer:

the total force vector, on test charge is points from origin to point C( 1, 1 )

Explanation:

Given the data in the question, as illustrated in the image below;

from the Image, OA = 1, OB = AC = 1

so using Pythagoras theorem

a² = b² + c²

a = √( b² + c² )

so

OC = √( OB² + AC² )

we substitute

OC = √( OA² + AC² )

OC = √( 1² + 1² )

OC = √( 1 + 1 )

OC = √2

Coordinate of C( 1, 1 )

Hence, the total force vector, on test charge is points from origin to point C( 1, 1 )

If a negative charge is initially at rest in an electric field, will it move toward a region of higher potential or lower potenti
monitta

Answer with explanation :

The negative sign means that the potential energy decreases by the movement of the electron.

negative charge at rest in an electric field moves toward the region of an electric field , so that its potential energy will diminish and change into the kinetic energy of motion. The total energy remains constant.

Positive charges will move downhill because of convention. It is to stay in accordance with other potential theories, particularly gravity, where the "charge" is mass, that moves downwards in the gravitational potential field expressed by ϕ(r)=−GM|r|ϕ(r)=−GM|r|. In an electronic system, howbeit, positive charges are fixed in their position within a component (e.g., a wire), therefore instead of the mobile,the negative charges, electrons, move uphill.

Why might the term red hot be misleading? (relating to stars)
Allushta [10]

red hot is hot, but other colours are even hotter. stars may be hotter than red hot.

there is also something calle the red shift.

Two charges, Q1 and Q2, are separated by 6·cm. The repulsive force between them is 25·N. In each case below, find the force betw
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

a) 5 N b) 225 N c) 5 N

Explanation:

a) Per Coulomb's Law the repulsive force between 2 equal sign charges, is directly proportional to the product of the charges, and inversely proportional to the square of  the distance between them, acting along  the  line that joins the charges, as follows:

F₁₂ = K Q₁ Q₂ / r₁₂²

So, if we make Q1 = Q1/5, the net effect will be to reduce the force in the same factor, i.e. F₁₂ = 25 N / 5 = 5 N

b) If we reduce the distance, from r, to r/3, as the  factor is squared, the net effect will be to increase the force in a factor equal to 3² = 9.

So, we will have F₁₂ = 9. 25 N = 225 N

c) If we make Q2 = 5Q2, the force would be increased 5 times, but if at the same , we increase the distance 5 times, as the factor is squared, the net factor will be 5/25 = 1/5, so we will have:

F₁₂ = 25 N .1/5 = 5 N

An airplane starts from A and flies to B at a constant speed. After reaching B it returns to A at the same speed. There was no w
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

When there is wind it takes longer

Explanation:

With no wind, the round trip time is

t_1=\frac{d}{v}+\frac{d}{v}=\frac{2d}{v}

When we have a constant wind speed w

t_2=\frac{d}{v-w} +\frac{d}{v+w} =\frac{2vd}{v^{2} -w^{2}}

comparing the reciprocal times;

\frac{1}{t_2}=\frac{v^{2}-w^{2} }{2vd}=\frac{v}{2d}-\frac{w^{2}}{2vd}   \leq \frac{v}{2d}=\frac{1}{t_1}

This means that t1 is smaller than t2, ergo, it takes longer with wind
