Three charges, Q1, Q2, and Q3 are located in a straight line. The position of Q2 is 0.301 m to the right of Q1. Q3 is located 0.

Alexxx [7]

Answer and Explanation: A charge exerts a force over another charge even if they are very far apart. This force is called <u>Electrostatic</u> <u>Force</u>.

If the two charges have the same sign, e.g. both aare positive, the force between them is opposite. If they have opposite sign, the force is towards each other. In other words, for electrostatic force, equal charges repel and different charges attract.

So,

1. If Q2 and Q3 have opposite signs, it is TRUE force in Q2 will go the left;

2. If the 2 are negative, they have the same sign, so it's FALSE force is to the right;

Sentences 3 and 4 are also TRUE due to the reasons described above;

5. If the charges have opposite signs, it means force is towards each other, or, to the right, so the sentence is TRUE;

1. Force is directly proportional to charges in Coulomb [C] and inversely proportional to distance squared in [m]:

$F=\frac{k.q.Q}{r^{2}}$

where k is a constant that equals 9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²

Calculating force between 1 and 2:

$F_{12}=\frac{9.10^{9}(1.9.10^{-6})(2.84.10^{-6})}{(0.301)^{2}}$

$F_{12}=536.02.10^{-3}$ N

Force between 2 and 3:

$F_{23}=\frac{9.10^{9}(2.84.10^{-6})(3.03.10^{-6})}{(0.169)^{2}}$

$F_{23}=2711.63.10^{-3}$ N

Total force is the net force. Since Q2 is negative and the others are positive, force of 2 related to 1 is to left and related to 3 is to the right. Therefore, total force is the difference between those two forces:

$F_{T}=2711.63.10^{-3}-536.02.10^{-3}$

$F_{T}=2175.61.10^{-3}$ N

The total force on Q2 is 2175.61 x 10⁻³ N

2. For net force to be 0, $F_{13}=F_{23}$ . Suppose distance from 1 to 3 is x, then from 2 to 3 is $x-0.301$

Calculating:

$\frac{k(1.90.10^{-6})(3.03.10^{-6})}{x^{2}}=\frac{k(2.84.10^{-6})(3.03.10^{-6})}{(x-0.301)^{2}}$

$\frac{5.757.10^{-12}}{x^{2}} =\frac{8.6052.10^{-12}}{x^{2}-0.602x+0.090601}$

$\frac{5.757.10^{-12}}{8.6052.10^{-12}}=\frac{x^{2}}{x^{2}-0.602x+0.090601}$

$x^{2}=0.67x^{2}-0.40x+0.061$

$0.33x^{2}+0.40x-0.061=0$

roots = 0.14 or -1.35

Solving quadratic equation gives 2 roots, but one of the roots is negative. As distance is a measure that cannot be negative, the solution is x = 0.14.

The distance of Q3 relative to Q1 is 0.14 m

(Brainliest) How are radio waves used in cell phone wireless communication technology?

poizon [28]

Radio waves are used in cell phone wireless communication by this: Radio waves are released from the cell phone and travel to satellites in the stratosphere. After they reach the satellite, they are redirected to the recipient of the call/text.

Hope this helps! Can I have brainliest please?

Answer:

A) 35 ft

B) 5 ft

C) Net displacement = distance covered by the dog to retrieve the stick - distance covered before the dog starts chewing the stick

Explanation:

A) Total distance covered by the dog = 20 + 15

= 35 ft

B) Since the other distance covered by the dog before chewing the stick, after the retrieval, was in an opposite direction to the initial direction, then;

total displacement of the dog = 20 - 15

= 5 ft

C) Net displacement = distance covered by the dog to retrieve the stick + distance covered before the dog starts chewing the stick

But, displacement involves a specified direction. The distance covered before the dog starts chewing the stick was in an opposite direction to the initial direction.

Thus,

Net displacement = distance covered by the dog to retrieve the stick - distance covered before the dog starts chewing the stick

Describe the organization of our solar system. What are the different divisions, or categories?

olasank [31]

Hello.

The solor system is organized by the smallest star to the largest and by the 8 planets. it is also organized by how much gas a planet has. But it is also orgainzed becasue of gravity.

The different divisions are <span>planets, moons, asteroids, comets and meteoroids.

A 100 Kg man is diving off a 50 meter cliff. What is his kinetic energy when he is 20 meters from the water?

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

$K.E=29.403125J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass $M=100$

Height $50-20=30m$

Generally the equation for velocity before impact is is is mathematically given by

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{2*9.8*30}$

$v=24.25$

Generally the equation for Kinetic Energy is is mathematically given by

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}*100*(24.25)^2\\$

$K.E=29403.125J$

$K.E=29.403125J$
