Answer:

QA = 19μC

QB = 9.5 μC

Explanation:

The force that each charge exerts on the other must obey Coulomb's Law, as follows:

$F_{AB} = \frac{k*Q_{A} * Q_{B}}{r_{AB}^{2}} (1)$

We know that the value of the magnitude of FAB is 45.0 N, the distance between QA and QB is 0.19 m, and that QA = 2*QB.
Replacing in (1), we can solve for QB, as follows:

$Q_{B} = \sqrt{\frac{F_{AB}*r_{AB} ^{2}}{2*k} } = \sqrt{\frac{45.0N*(0.19m) ^{2}}{2*9e9N*m2/C2} } = 9.5e-6 C (2)$

Since QA = 2*QB
⇒ QA = 2* 9.5μC = 19.0 μC
⇒ QB = 9.5μC

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 1400 J</h3>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 20 × 10 × 7

We have the final answer as

The magnitude of <em>electrical</em> force on charge $q_{3}$ due to the others is 0.102 newtons.

<h3>How to calculate the electrical force experimented on a particle</h3>

The vector <em>position</em> of each particle respect to origin are described below:

$\vec r_{1} = (-0.500, 0)\,[m]$

$\vec r_{2} = (+0.500, 0)\,[m]$

$\vec r_{3} = (0, +0.500)\,[m]$

Then, distances of the former two particles particles respect to the latter one are found now:

$\vec r_{13} = (+0.500, +0.500)\,[m]$

$r_{13} = \sqrt{\vec r_{13}\,\bullet\,\vec r_{13}} = \sqrt{(0.500\,m)^{2}+(0.500\,m)^{2}}$

$r_{13} =\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\,m$

$\vec r_{23} = (-0.500, +0.500)\,[m]$

$r_{23} = \sqrt{\vec r_{23}\,\bullet \,\vec r_{23}} = \sqrt{(-0.500\,m)^{2}+(0.500\,m)^{2}}$

$r_{23} =\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\,m$

The resultant force is found by Coulomb's law and principle of superposition:

$\vec R = \vec F_{13}+\vec F_{23}$ (1)

Please notice that particles with charges of <em>same</em> sign attract each other and particles with charges of <em>opposite</em> sign repeal each other.

$\vec R = \frac{k\cdot q_{1}\cdot q_{3}}{r_{13}^{2}}\cdot \vec u_{13} +\frac{k\cdot q_{2}\cdot q_{3}}{r_{23}^{2}}\cdot \vec u_{23}$ (2)

Where:

$k$ - Electrostatic constant, in newton-square meters per square Coulomb.
$q_{1}$ , $q_{2}$ , $q_{3}$ - Electric charges, in Coulombs.
$r_{13}$ , $r_{23}$ - Distances between particles, in meters.
$\vec u_{13}$ , $\vec u_{23}$ - Unit vectors, no unit.

If we know that $k = 8.988\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}}$ , $q_{1} = 2\times 10^{-6}\,C$ , $q_{2} = 2\times 10^{-6}\,C$ , $q_{3} = 2\times 10^{-6}\,C$ , $r_{13} =\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\,m$ , $r_{23} =\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\,m$ , $\vec u_{13} = \left(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right)$ and $\vec u_{23} = \left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right)$ , then the vector force on charge $q_{3}$ is:

$\vec R = \frac{\left(8.988\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}} \right)\cdot (2\times 10^{-6}\,C)\cdot (2\times 10^{-6}\,C)}{\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\,m \right)^{2}} \cdot \left(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right) + \frac{\left(8.988\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}} \right)\cdot (2\times 10^{-6}\,C)\cdot (2\times 10^{-6}\,C)}{\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\,m \right)^{2}} \cdot \left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right)$

$\vec R = 0.072\cdot \left(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right) + 0.072\cdot \left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right)\,[N]$

$\vec R = 0.072\cdot \left(0, -\sqrt{2}\right)\,[N]$

And the magnitude of the <em>electrical</em> force on charge $q_{3}$ ( $R$ ), in newtons, due to the others is found by Pythagorean theorem:

$R = 0.102\,N$

The magnitude of <em>electrical</em> force on charge $q_{3}$ due to the others is 0.102 newtons. $\blacksquare$

While visiting the Albert Michelson exhibit at Clark University, you notice that a chandelier (which looks remarkably like a sim

aksik [14]

Answers:

a) 0.144 Hz

b) 0.904 rad/s

c) 11.818 m

d) $9.77 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

The rest of the question is written below:

a) Calculate the frequency of oscillation (in Hertz) of the chandelier

b) Calculate the angular frequency $\omega$ of the chandelier in radians/ second

c) Determine the length $L$ in meters of the chandelier

d) That evening, while hanging out in JJ. Thompson's House O' Blues, you notice that (coincidentally) there is a chandelier identical in every way to the one at the Michelson exhibit except this one swings back and forth 0.01 seconds slower, so the period is $T+0.01 s$ . Determine the acceleration due to gravity in $m/s^{2}$ at the club.

a) The frequency $f$ has an inverse relation with the period $T$ :

$f=\frac{1}(T}$ (1)

Where $T=6.9 s$

$f=\frac{1}(6.9s}=0.144 Hz$ (2)

b) The angular frequency $\omega$ is given by:

$\omega=2\pi f=\frac{2 \pi}{T}$ (3)

$\omega=2\pi (0.144 Hz)$ (4)

$\omega=0.904 rad/s$ (5)

c) Another expression for the period is:

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$ (6)

Where:

$L$ is the length of the pendulum

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the mean acceleration due gravity

Isolating $L$ :

$L=\frac{T^{2} g}{4 \pi^{2}}$ (7)

$L=\frac{(6.9)^{2} (9.8 m/s^{2})}{4 \pi^{2}}$ (8)

$L=11.818 m$ (9)

d) In this case the period of the pendulum is $T_{p}=T+0.01 s$ . So, we will use equation (7) with this period and find $g$ :

$g=\frac{4 \pi^{2}L}{(T+0.01 s)^{2}}$ (10)

$g=\frac{4 \pi^{2}(11.818 m)}{(6.9 s+0.01 s)^{2}}$ (11)

$g=9.77 m/s^{2}$ (12) This is the acceleration due gravity at the place, which is near the mean value of $9.8 m/s^{2}$
