Answer:

  • R = ( 4.831 m , 1.469 m )
  • Magnitude of R = 5.049 m
  • Direction of R relative to the x axis= 16°54'33'

Explanation:

Knowing the magnitude and directions relative to the x axis, we can find the Cartesian representation of the vectors using the formula

\vec{A}= | \vec{A} | \ ( \ cos(\theta) \ , \ sin (\theta) \ )

where | \vec{A} | its the magnitude and θ.

So, for our vectors, we will have:

\vec{D}= 3.00 m \ ( \ cos(315) \ , \ sin (315) \ )

\vec{D}=  ( 2.121 m , -2.121 m )

and

\vec{E}= 4.50 m \ ( \ cos(53.0) \ , \ sin (53.0) \ )

\vec{E}= ( 2.71 m , 3.59 m )

Now, we can take the sum of the vectors

\vec{R} = \vec{D} + \vec{E}

\vec{R} = ( 2.121 \ m , -2.121 \ m ) + ( 2.71 \ m , 3.59 \ m )

\vec{R} = ( 2.121 \ m  + 2.71 \ m , -2.121 \ m + 3.59 \ m )

\vec{R} = ( 4.831 \ m , 1.469 \ m )

This is R in Cartesian representation, now, to find the magnitude we can use the Pythagorean theorem

|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2}

|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{(4.831 m)^2 + (1.469 m)^2}

|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{23.338 m^2 + 2.158 m^2}

|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{25.496 m^2}

|\vec{R}| = 5.049 m

To find the direction, we can use

\theta = arctan(\frac{R_y}{R_x})

\theta = arctan(\frac{1.469 \ m}{4.831 \ m})

\theta = arctan(0.304)

\theta = 16\°54'33''

As we are in the first quadrant, this is relative to the x axis.

A positively charged particle Q1 = +35nC is held fixed at the origin. A second charge of mass m = 3.5ug is floating a distance d
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Q1 = 35 nC = 35 x 10^-9 C

m = 3.5 micro gram = 3.5 x 10^-9 Kg

d  = 35 cm = 0.35 m

(a) The electrostatic force between the two charges is balanced by the weight of another charge.

F = m g

\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _{0}}\frac{Q_{1}Q_{2}}{d^{2}}=mg

Q_{2}=\frac{4\pi \epsilon _{0}mgd^{2}}{Q_{1}}

(b) By substituting the values

Q_{2}=\frac{3.5\times 10^{-9}\times 9.8\times 0.35\timees 0.35}{9\times 10^{9}\times 35\times 10^{9}}

Q2 = 13.34 x 10^-12 C

Q2 = 0.0134 nC
