An electron is placed on a line connecting two fixed point charges of equal charge but the opposite sign. The distance between t

he charges is 30.0 cm and the charge of each is 4.50 pC. (a) Compute the force on the electron at 5.0 cm intervals starting from 5.0 cm from the leftmost charge and ending 5.0 cm from the rightmost charge. (b) Plot the net force versus electron location using your computed values. From the plot, can you make an educated guess as to where the electron feels the least force

Answer:

a)    F_net = 6.48 10⁻¹⁸ ( \frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{(0.300-x)^2} ),   b) x = 0.15 m

Explanation:

a) In this problem we use that the electric force is a vector, that charges of different signs attract and charges of the same sign repel.

The electric force is given by Coulomb's law

         F =k \frac{q_2q_2}{r^2}

         

Since when we have the two negative charges they repel each other and when we fear one negative and the other positive attract each other, the forces point towards the same side, which is why they must be added.

          F_net= ∑ F = F₁ + F₂

let's locate a reference system in the load that is on the left side, the distances are

left side - electron       r₁ = x

right side -electron     r₂ = d-x

let's call the charge of the electron (q) and the fixed charge that has equal magnitude Q

we substitute

          F_net = k q Q  ( \frac{1}{r_1^2}+ \frac{1}{r_2^2})

          F _net = kqQ  ( \frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{(d-x)^2} )

         

let's substitute the values

          F_net = 9 10⁹  1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 4.50 10⁻⁹ ( \frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{(0.30-x)^2} )

          F_net = 6.48 10⁻¹⁸ ( \frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{(0.300-x)^2} )

now we can substitute the value of x from 0.05 m to 0.25 m, the easiest way to do this is in a spreadsheet, in the table the values ​​of the distance (x) and the net force are given

x (m)        F (N)

0.05        27.0 10-16

0.10          8.10 10-16

0.15          5.76 10-16

0.20         8.10 10-16

0.25        27.0 10-16

b) in the adjoint we can see a graph of the force against the distance, it can be seen that it has the shape of a parabola with a minimum close to x = 0.15 m

How does a television have a negative effect on the environment
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Too much screen time can be a bad thing: Children who consistently spend more than 4 hours per day watching TV are more likely to be overweight. Kids who view violent acts on TV are more likely to show aggressive behavior, and to fear that the world is scary and that something bad will happen to them. When we considered the whole television chain of production, distribution and consumption, we found that the largest environmental impact associated with a television programme was not the energy consumed in making it, but the energy used by the millions of televisions, set-top boxes and other consumer devices involved

Based on the graph, which data point is most likely to have experimental
Len [333]

Answer:

B. 59 kg

Explanation:

From the graph you notice that a linear relation in indicated by the line joining the points such that the points on the line represent the data that show a correct relationship in the experiment.

This means that the point outside the line has an error .

This point is the value 59 kg that does not align with other values which are included in the graph.

calculate the mass of potassium chlorate (kcio3) required to obtain 10g of oxygen in the following reaction:kclO3-kcl+O2​
igor_vitrenko [27]

First, balance the reaction:

_ KClO₃   ==>   _ KCl + _ O₂

As is, there are 3 O's on the left and 2 O's on the right, so there needs to be a 2:3 ratio of KClO₃ to O₂. Then there are 2 K's and 2 Cl's among the reactants, so we have a 1:1 ratio of KClO₃ to KCl :

2 KClO₃   ==>   2 KCl + 3 O₂

Since we start with a known quantity of O₂, let's divide each coefficient by 3.

2/3 KClO₃   ==>   2/3 KCl + O₂

Next, look up the molar masses of each element involved:

• K: 39.0983 g/mol

• Cl: 35.453 g/mol

• O: 15.999 g/mol

Convert 10 g of O₂ to moles:

(10 g) / (31.998 g/mol) ≈ 0.31252 mol

The balanced reaction shows that we need 2/3 mol KClO₃ for every mole of O₂. So to produce 10 g of O₂, we need

(2/3 (mol KClO₃)/(mol O₂)) × (0.31252 mol O₂) ≈ 0.20835 mol KClO₃

KClO₃ has a total molar mass of about 122.549 g/mol. Then the reaction requires a mass of

(0.20835 mol) × (122.549 g/mol) ≈ 25.532 g

of KClO₃.
