Full Question

Consider two point charges located on the x axis: one charge, Q1 = -12.0 nC , is located at x1 = -1.705m ; the second charge, Q2 = 36.5 nC, is at the origin (x=0.0000).

What is the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 49.5 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.170 m ? Your answer may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force.

Answer:

6.79E6 N

Explanation:

Given

Q1 is negative and to the left of Q3 the force will be to the left

Q2 is positive and to the right of Q3 the the force will also be to the left

Net Force is calculated as:

Using Coulomb's law

Coulomb's law: F = kqQ / r²

the constant k = 8.99 x 10^9 N m2 / C2

F = -kQ1*Q3/(r1)² -kQ2*Q3/(r2)²)

F = -kQ3(Q1/(r1)² + Q2/(r2)²)

Where

Q1 = -12nC = -12 * 10^-9C

Q2 = 36.5nC = 36.5 * 10^-9C

Q3 = 49.5nC = 49.5 * 10^-9C

x1 = -1.705m

x2 = x = 0

x3 = -1.170m

r1 = x3 - x1

r1 = -1.170 - -1.705

r1 = -1.170 + 1.705

r1 = 0.535

r1² = 0.286225

r2 = x3

r2 = -1.170

r2² = -1.170²

r2² = 1.3689

So,

F = (-8.99 * 10^9)(49.5 *10^-9) [-12 * 10^-9/0.286225 + 36.5 * 10^-9/1.3689]

F = -445.005 (−4.192505895711E−8 + 2.6663744612462E−8)

F = -445.005 * −1.5261314344648E−8

F = -(8.99 * 10^9) * (49.5 * 10^-9) * [ (-12 * 10^-9) /(-1.770 - -1.705)² + (36.5 * 10^-9)/(-1.170)²]

F = -445.005( −0.000002813572941777538)

F = 0.00000679136118994008324

F = 6.79E6 N

Explanation:

Essential Knowledge

It is essential that the student be able to distinguish between specialized structures that allow protists and fungi to obtain energy and explore their environment.

Protists

Protists are organisms that are classified into the Kingdom Protista. Although there is a lot of variety within the protists, they do share some common characteristics.

● Protists are usually single celled organisms.

● Live in moist environments.

● Vary in the ways they move and obtain energy.

Protists obtain their energy in several ways.

● Animal-like protists ingest or absorb food after capturing or trapping it.

● Plant-like protists produce food through photosynthesis.

● Fungus-like protists obtain their food by external digestion either as decomposers or as parasites.

● Some protists have both autotrophic and heterotrophic characteristi
