Two charged particles are located on the x axis. The first is a charge 1Q at x 5 2a. The second is an unknown charge located at

x 5 13a. The net electric field these charges produce at the origin has a magnitude of 2keQ /a2. Explain how many values are possible for the unknown charge and find the possible values.

Answer:

Q_2 = +/- 295.75*Q

Explanation:

Given:

- The charge of the first particle Q_1 = +Q

- The second charge = Q_2

- The position of first charge x_1 = 2a

- The position of the second charge x_2 = 13a

- The net Electric Field produced at origin is E_net = 2kQ / a^2

Find:

Explain how many values are possible for the unknown charge and find the possible values.

Solution:

- The Electric Field due to a charge is given by:

                               E = k*Q / r^2

Where, k: Coulomb's Constant

            Q: The charge of particle

            r: The distance from source

- The Electric Field due to charge 1:

                               E_1 = k*Q_1 / r^2

                               E_1 = k*Q / (2*a)^2

                               E_1 = k*Q / 4*a^2

- The Electric Field due to charge 2:

                               E_2 = k*Q_2 / r^2

                               E_2 = k*Q_2 / (13*a)^2

                               E_2 = +/- k*Q_2 / 169*a^2

- The two possible values of charge Q_2 can either be + or -. The Net Electric Field can be given as:

                               E_net = E_1 + E_2

                               2kQ / a^2 = k*Q_1 / 4*a^2 +/- k*Q_2 / 169*a^2

- The two equations are as follows:

        1:                   2kQ / a^2 = k*Q / 4*a^2 + k*Q_2 / 169*a^2

                               2Q = Q / 4 + Q_2 / 169

                               Q_2 = 295.75*Q

        2:                    2kQ / a^2 = k*Q / 4*a^2 - k*Q_2 / 169*a^2

                               2Q = Q / 4 - Q_2 / 169

                               Q_2 = -295.75*Q

- The two possible values corresponds to positive and negative charge Q_2.

5. A backpack weighs 9.2 newtons and has a mass of 5 kg on the moon. What is the
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The strength of gravity on the moon is 1.84\ m/s^2.

Explanation:

We have,

Weight of the backpack, W = 9.2 N

Mass, m = 5 kg

It is required to find the strength of gravity on the moon. Weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

g is strength of gravity on the Moon

g=\dfrac{W}{m}\\\\g=\dfrac{9.2\ N}{5\ kg}\\\\g=1.84\ m/s^2

So, the strength of gravity on the moon is 1.84\ m/s^2.

What is the station's orbital speed? the radius of earth is 6.37×106m, its mass is 5.98×1024kg.
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

v_o=2503.08\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Orbital velocity is the speed that a body that orbits around another body must have, for its orbit to be stable. For orbits with small eccentricity and when one of the masses is almost negligible compared to the other mass, like in this case, the orbital speed is given by:

v_o=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}

Where M is the greater mass around which this negligible body is orbiting, r is the radius of the greater mass and G is the universal gravitational constant. So:

v_o=\sqrt{\frac{6.674*10^{-11}\frac{m^3}{kg\cdot s^2}(5.98*10^{24}kg)}{6.37*10^6m}}\\v_o=2503.08\frac{m}{s}

If the potential due to a point charge is 490 V at a distance of 10 m, what are the sign and magnitude of the charge?
uysha [10]

Answer:

+5.4×10⁻⁷ C

Explanation:

Electric potential: This can be defined as the work done in bringing a unit charge from infinity to that point against the action of the field. The S.I unit of potential is volt (V)

The formula for potential is

V = kq/r............................ Equation 1

Where V = electric potential, k = proportionality constant, q = charge, r = distance.

making q the subject of the equation,

q = Vr/k............................ Equation 2

Given: V = 490 V, r = 10 m,

Constant: k = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute into equation 2

q = 490(10)/(9×10⁹)

q = 5.4×10⁻⁷ C

q = +5.4×10⁻⁷ C

Hence the charge is +5.4×10⁻⁷ C
