A Parallel circuit has certain characteristics and basic rules: A parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through. Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit. The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total current that flows from the source.

(7)Figure 4 shows three charges: Q₁, Q₂ and Q3 . Determine the net force (Fnet) acting on Q3. (Hint: Draw a free body diagram of
NISA [10]

Remember Coulomb's law: the magnitude of the electric force F between two stationary charges q₁ and q₂ over a distance r is

F = \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

where k ≈ 8,98 × 10⁹ kg•m³/(s²•C²) is Coulomb's constant.

8.1. The diagram is simple, since only two forces are involved. The particle at Q₂ feels a force to the left due to the particle at Q₁ and a downward force due to the particle at Q₃.

8.2. First convert everything to base SI units:

0,02 µC = 0,02 × 10⁻⁶ C = 2 × 10⁻⁸ C

0,03 µC = 3 × 10⁻⁸ C

0,04 µC = 4 × 10⁻⁸ C

300 mm = 300 × 10⁻³ m = 0,3 m

600 mm = 0,6 m

Force due to Q₁ :

F_{Q_2/Q_1} = \dfrac{k (6 \times 10^{-16} \,\mathrm C)}{(0,3 \, \mathrm m)^2} \approx \boxed{6,0 \times 10^{-5} \,\mathrm N} = 0,06 \,\mathrm{mN}

Force due to Q₃ :

F_{Q_2/Q_3} = \dfrac{k (12 \times 10^{-16} \,\mathrm C)}{(0,6 \, \mathrm m)^2} \approx \boxed{3,0 \times 10^{-5} \,\mathrm N} = 0,03 \,\mathrm{mN}

8.3. The net force on the particle at Q₂ is the vector

\vec F = F_{Q_2/Q_1} \, \vec\imath + F_{Q_2/Q_3} \,\vec\jmath = \left(-0,06\,\vec\imath - 0,03\,\vec\jmath\right) \,\mathrm{mN}

Its magnitude is

\|\vec F\| = \sqrt{\left(-0,06\,\mathrm{mN}\right)^2 + \left(-0,03\,\mathrm{mN}\right)^2} \approx 0,07 \,\mathrm{mN} = \boxed{7,0 \times 10^{-5} \,\mathrm N}

and makes an angle θ with the positive horizontal axis (pointing to the right) such that

\tan(\theta) = \dfrac{-0,03}{-0,06} \implies \theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac12\right) - 180^\circ \approx \boxed{-153^\circ}

where we subtract 180° because \vec F terminates in the third quadrant, but the inverse tangent function can only return angles between -90° and 90°. We use the fact that tan(x) has a period of 180° to get the angle that ends in the right quadrant.

A 10-kg wagon is pulled by a force of 70 Newtons while friction provides 20 Newtons of force. How much acceleration will the wag
kkurt [141]

Answer:

5m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of wagon  = 10kg

Force of pull  = 70N

Frictional force = 20N

Unknown:

Acceleration of the wagon = ?

Solution:

Frictional force is a force that opposes motion.

The net force is given as:

   Net force  = mass x acceleration

 Force of pull  - Frictional force = mass x acceleration

 Insert the parameters and solve;

     70 - 20  = 10 x acceleration

       50  = 10 x acceleration

      Acceleration  = 5m/s²
