Two free charges +q and +4q are a distance l apart. A third charge is placed so that the entire system is in equilibrium. Find the location, magnitude and sign of the third charge.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the value of the charge is   q₃ = [tex]- \frac{4}{9} q[/tex]- 4/9 q, in the position  x= l/3

Explanation:

The forces in this system are given by Coulomb's law

           F = [tex]k \frac{q_1 q_2}{ r^2}[/tex]

As the forces are vector, we must add them as a vector, also let us take that charges of the same sign repel and charges of the opposite sign attract, therefore for the system to be in equilibrium the third charge must be of the opposite sign, that is, NEGATIVE .

Let's analyze the situation for card charge, let's use the indexes 1 for the charge q₁ = + q located at the origin (x₁ = 0), index 2 for the face q₂ = + 4q located at x₂ = l and the index 3 for the third charge

Let's find the location of charge 3 so that it is in balance

               ∑ F = F₁₃ - F₂₃ = 0

               F₁₃ = F₂₃

we seek every force

              F₁₃ = k [tex]\frac{q_1q_3 }{x_{13}^2}[/tex]

              F₂₃ = k [tex]\frac{q_2q_3}{ x_{23}^2}[/tex]

the distances are

              x₁₃ = x-0 = x

              x₂₃ = l -x

we substitute

              k \frac{q_1q_3 }{x^2} = k \frac{q_2q_3 }{(l-x)^2}

           

we solve

             (l-x)² = [tex]\frac{q_2}{q_1}[/tex]   x²

               

              l² - 2lx + x² = \frac{4q}{q} x²

              3x² + 2l x - l² = 0

we solve the quadratic equation

              x = [-2l ± [tex]\sqrt{4l^2 + 4\ 3\ l^2}[/tex] / (2 3)

              x = [-2l + 2l [tex]\sqrt{1+3}[/tex]] / 6 = 2l [-1 ± 2] / 6

              x₁ = -l

              x₂ = l / 3

as charge 3 must be between the two charges the correct answer is

              x = l / 3

with charge 3 in this location it remains in equilibrium regardless of the value of its NEGATIVE charge.

now let's analyze the force on the other charges

charge 1 so that it is in balance

           ∑F = F₁₃ - F₁₂ = 0

           F₁₃ = F₁₂

          [tex]k \frac{q_1q_3}{(l/3)^2} = k \frac{q_1 q_2}{ l^2}[/tex]

           l² q₃ = q₂ (l/3)²

           q₃ = q₂ / 9

            q₃ = 4q / 9

            q₃ = [tex]\frac{4}{9} q[/tex]

in summary the value of the charge is   q₃ = [tex]- \frac{4}{9} q[/tex]- 4/9 q

in the position  x= l/3

What equation/formula would you use to find the distance an object traveled?

a.distance = s x t
b.distance = s/t
c.distance = t/s

Answers

Answer:

a. distance = s x t

Explanation:

The equation we know for speed is speed = distance/time, shortened to s = d/t

If you want to find the distance, you'd rearrange the formula to make d the subject. To isolate d, multiply by t on both sides (since it's being divided on the right. This leads to

s x t = d, with d isolated on the right side.

Therefore, to find the distance an object travelled you'd use a. distance = s x t

Answer is “a. distance = s x t”

describe three small changes that you can make to your current eating habits to support a healthier lifestyle.

Answers

Answer:   Eat only when you're truly hungry instead of when you are tired, anxious, or feeling an emotion besides hunger.

Plan meals ahead of time to ensure that you eat a healthy well-balanced meal.

Keep more fruits, low-fat dairy products (low-fat milk and low-fat yogurt), vegetables, and whole-grain foods at home and at work.

Explanation:

Answer:

I know that some foods have a lot of sugar. I read online that I don’t need any more than 25 grams of added sugar a day. One kind of pop that I like to drink has 40 grams of sugar per can. I can start by drinking less pop. Next, I learned that some food makers are now putting nutrition keys on the front of their boxes. I love all kinds of breakfast cereal, so I can use the nutrition key to compare brands. Cereal high in fiber is good, but cereal high in sugar isn’t. I’ll be more careful, too, when ordering fast food. Sometimes fast-food places want to change the size of my order from medium to large for a higher price. From now on, I won’t pick the bigger meal. Picking the medium-sized meal should be better for me and can even save me money.

If a 25kg car accelerates at a speed 100m/ s2 s2, what will the force of the car be?
Plug in the numbers: Force=mass x acceleration

Answers

Answer:

2500 Newtons

Explanation:

If force equals the mass × acceleration then all should be quite simple

25kg is the mass of your car

100 m/s/s is the acceleration of you car

25kg • 100m/s/s = 2500 Newtons

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 2500 \ Newtons }}[/tex]

Explanation:

The formula for force is the product of mass and acceleration.

[tex]F=m*a[/tex]

The mass of the car is 25 kilograms and the acceleration is 100 meters per square second. So,

[tex]m= 25 \ kg \\a= 100 \ m/s^2[/tex]

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]F= 25 \ kg * 100 \ m/s^2[/tex]

Multiply.

[tex]F= 2500 \ kg*m/s^2[/tex]

1 kilogram meter per square second is equal to 1 NewtonOur answer of 2500 kg*m/s² is equal to 2500 Newtons

[tex]F= 2500 \ N[/tex]

The force of the car is 2500 Newtons.

John slides down a hill at a 4 m height initially at rest. If all energy is conserved and friction is excluded, what is John's velocity at the bottom of the ramp?

Answers

The velocity at the bottom : v = 8.85 m/s

Further explanation

Given

height of the hill = 4 m

Required

The velocity at the bottom

Solution

The law of conservation energy :

ME₁=ME₂

(PE+KE)₁ = (PE+KE)₂

initially at rest⇒vo=0⇒KE₁=0

At the bottom⇒h=0⇒PE₂=0

So the equation becomes :

PE₁=KE₂

mgh=1/2.mv²

gh = 1/2v²

[tex]\tt v=\sqrt{2gh}[/tex]

v = √2x9.8x4

v = 8.85 m/s

Further explanation

Given

Frequency of radio : 96 MHz and 106 MHz

Required

The wavelength

Solution

Wavelength : from the crest to the crest of the next wave or the trough to the trough

Frequency (f): number of waves in one second

v = λ x f

λ = v : f

Input the value :

f = 96 MHz = 96 x 10⁶ Hz

λ = v : f

λ = 3 x 10⁸ :  96 x 10⁶

λ = 3.125 m

C. The net force acting on the object

Explanation:

The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object.

When a 5 kg rock is dropped from a height of 6 m on Planet X, it loses 24 J of GPE. What is the acceleration due to gravity on Planet X?

Answers

Answer:

g = 1.25m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 5kg

Height = 6m

Gravitational potential energy = 24J

To find the acceleration due to gravity;

Potential energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

[tex] P.E = mgh[/tex]

Where,

P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

GPE = mgh

Substituting into the equation, we have;

24 = 5*6*g

24 = 30g

g = 30/24

g = 1.25m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration due to gravity on Planet X is 1.25m/s².

Answer:

g=0.8m/s^2

Explanation:

M=5kg

h=6m

GPE=24J

GPE=Mgh

g=GPE/Mh

g=24J/(5kg)(6m)=0.8

g=0.8m/s^2

A boy kicks a football with a force of 420.0 N for a time of 22.3 s. What is the impulse and change in momentum?

Answers

Answer:

the impulse and change in momentum of the football is 18.83 N/s.

Explanation:

Given;

applied force, F = 420 N

time of force action, t = 22.3 s

The impulse and change in momentum of the football is calculated as;

J = ΔP = [tex]\frac{F}{t}[/tex]

where;

J is the impulse

ΔP is the change in momentum

J = ΔP = [tex]\frac{F}{t}= \frac{420}{22.3} = 18.83 \ N/s[/tex]

Therefore, the impulse and change in momentum of the football is 18.83 N/s.

A refrigerator having a power rating of 350W operates for 12 hours a day. calculate the cost of electrical energy to operate it for 30 days. the rate of electrical energy is rs4.50 per kWh. calculate the minimum fuse rating to be put in the refrigerator circuit if the supply voltage is 240V.​

Answers

Answer:

See the answers below.

Explanation:

The cost of energy can be calculated by multiplying each given value, a dimensional analysis must be taken into account in order to calculate the total value of the cost in Rs.

[tex]Cost=0.350[kW]*12[\frac{hr}{1day}]*30[days]*4.5[\frac{Rs}{kW*hr} ]=567[Rs][/tex]

The fuse can be calculated by knowing the amperage.

[tex]P=V*I[/tex]

where:

P = power = 350 [W]

V = voltage = 240 [V]

I = amperage [amp]

Now clearing I from the equation above:

[tex]I=P/V\\I=350/240\\I=1.458[amp][/tex]

The fuse should be larger than the current of the circuit, i.e. about 2 [amp]
