Answer:
4.763 × 10⁶ N/C
Explanation:
Let E₁ be the electric field due to the 4.0 μC charge and E₂ be the electric field due to the -6.0 μC charge. At the third corner, E₁ points in the negative x direction and E₂ acts at an angle of 60 to the negative x - direction.
Resolving E₂ into horizontal and vertical components, we have
E₂cos60 as horizontal component and E₂sin60 as vertical component. E₁ has only horizontal component.
Summing the horizontal components we have
E₃ = -E₁ + (-E₂cos60) = -kq₁/r²- kq₂cos60/r²
= -k/r²(q₁ + q₂cos60)
= -k/r²(4 μC + (-6.0 μC)(1/2))
= -k/r²(4 μC - 3.0 μC)
= -k/r²(1 μC)
= -9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²(1.0 × 10⁻⁶)/(0.10 m)²
= -9 × 10⁵ N/C
Summing the vertical components, we have
E₄ = 0 + (-E₂sin60)
= -E₂sin60
= -kq₂sin60/r²
= -k(-6.0 μC)(0.8660)/(0.10 m)²
= -9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²(-6.0 × 10⁻⁶)(0.8660)/(0.10 m)²
= 46.77 × 10⁵ N/C
The magnitude of the resultant electric field, E is thus
E = √(E₃² + E₄²) = √[(-9 × 10⁵ N/C)² + (46.77 10⁵ N/C)²) = (√226843.29) × 10⁴
= 476.28 × 10⁴ N/C
= 4.7628 × 10⁶ N/C
≅ 4.763 × 10⁶ N/C
Answer:
B. The truck and mosquito exert the same size force on each other.
Explanation:
Newton's third law (law of action-reaction) states that
"When an object A exerts a force (action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction) on object A"
In this case, we can call
object A = the truck
object B = the mosquito
Thereforce according to Newton's third law, the force exerted by the truck on the mosquito is equal in magnitude to the force exerted by the mosquito on the truck (and in opposite direction).
The reason for which the mosquito will experience much more damage is the fact that the mosquito's mass is much smaller than the truck's mass, and since the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass:
the mosquito will experience a much larger deceleration than the truck, therefore much more damage.
Answer:
It’s 18.0 m/s
Explanation:
Use acceleration formula then plug in 9.8 and 1.84s
