Answer:

a. charge C experiences the greatest net force, and charge B receives the smallest net force

b. ratio=9

Explanation:

<u>Electrostatic Force</u>

Two point-charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ separated a distance d will exert a force on each other of a magnitude given by the Coulomb's formula

$\displaystyle F=\frac{k\ q_1\ q_2}{r^2}$

Where k is the proportional constant of value

$k=9*10^9\ N.m^2/c^2$

The diagram provided in the question shows four identical charges (let's assume their value is Q) separated by identical distance (of value d). The force between the charges next to others is

$\displaystyle F_1=\frac{k\ Q\ Q}{d^2}$

$\displaystyle F_1=\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}$

The force between charges separated 2d is

$\displaystyle F_2=\frac{k\ Q^2}{(2d)^2}$

$\displaystyle F_2=\frac{k\ Q^2}{4d^2}$

And the force between the charges A and D is

$\displaystyle F_3=\frac{k\ Q^2}{(3d)^2}$

$\displaystyle F_3=\frac{k\ Q^2}{9d^2}$

Now, let's analyze each charge and the force applied to them by the others

Let's recall equally signed charges repel each other and differently signed charges attrach each other

Charge A. It receives force to the left from B and C and to the right from D

$\displaystyle F_A=-F_1-F_2+F_3=-\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}-\frac{k\ Q^2}{4d^2}+\frac{k\ Q^2}{9d^2}$

$\displaystyle F_A=\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}(-1-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{9})$

$\displaystyle F_A=-\frac{41}{36}F_1$

Charge B. It receives force to the right from A and D and to the left from C

$\displaystyle F_B=F_1-F_1+F_2=\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}-\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}+\frac{k\ Q^2}{4d^2}$

$\displaystyle F_B=\frac{1}{4}F_1$

Charge C. It receives forces to the right from all charges.

$\displaystyle F_C=F_2+F_1+F_1=\frac{k\ Q^2}{4d^2}+\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}+\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}$

$\displaystyle F_C=\frac{9}{4}F_1$

Charge D. It receives forces to the left from all charges

$\displaystyle F_D=-F_3-F_2-F_1=-\frac{k\ Q^2}{9d^2}-\frac{k\ Q^2}{4d^2}-\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}$

$\displaystyle F_D=-\frac{49}{36}F_1$

Comparing the magnitudes of each force is just a matter of computing the fractions

$\displaystyle \frac{41}{36}=1.13,\ \frac{1}{4}=0.25,\ \frac{9}{4}=2.25,\ \frac{49}{36}=1.36$

We can see the charge C experiences the greatest net force, and charge B receives the smallest net force

The ratio of the greatest to the smallest net force is

$\displaystyle \frac{\frac{9}{4}}{\frac{1}{4}}=9$

The greatest force is 9 times the smallest net force

Elemental analysis of the unknown gas from part a revealed that it is 30.45% n and 69.55% o by mass. What is the molecular formu

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

the molecular formula for the gas is NO₂

Explanation:

since it contains

Nitrogen = n → 30.45%

Oxygen = o → 69.55%

and 30.45%+69.55% = 100% , then the gas only contains nitrogen and oxygen

Also we know that the proportion of oxygen over nitrogen is

proportion of oxygen over nitrogen = moles of oxygen / moles of nitrogen

since

moles = mass / molecular weight

then for a sample of 100 gr of the unknown gas

mass of oxygen = 69.55%*100 gr = 69.55 gr

mass of Nitrogen = 30.45%*100 gr = 30.45 gr

proportion of oxygen over nitrogen = (mass of oxygen/ molecular weight)/(mass of nitrogen / molecular weight of nitrogen ) = (69.55 gr/ 16 gr/mol) /( 30.45 gr /14 gr/mol) = 1.998 mol of O/ mol of N≈ 2 mol of O/ mol of N

therefore there are 2 atoms of oxygen per atom of nitrogen

thus the molecular formula for the gas is:

NO₂

kkurt [141]

Answer:

$V_{ft}= 317 cm/s$

ΔK = 2.45 J

Explanation:

a) Using the law of the conservation of the linear momentum:

$P_i = P_f$

Where:

$P_i=M_cV_{ic} + M_tV_{it}$

$P_f = M_cV_{fc} + M_tV_{ft}$

Now:

$M_cV_{ic} + M_tV_{it} = M_cV_{fc} + M_tV_{ft}$

Where $M_c$ is the mass of the car, $V_{ic}$ is the initial velocity of the car, $M_t$ is the mass of train, $V_{fc}$ is the final velocity of the car and $V_{ft}$ is the final velocity of the train.
