What is (Fnet3)x, the x-component of the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 55.0 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.220 m ? Your answer may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force. Express your answer numerically in newtons to three significant figures.

Answer:

The net force exerted on the third charge is $F_{net}= 3.22*10^{-5} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The third charge is $q_3 = 55 nC = 55 *10^{-9} C$

The position of the third charge is $x = -1.220 \ m$

The first charge is $q_1 = -16 nC = -16 *10^{-9} \ C$

The position of the first charge is $x_1 = -1.650m$

The second charge is $q_2 = 32 nC = 32 *10^{-9} C$

The position of the second charge is $x_2 = 0 \ m$

The distance between the first and the third charge is

$d_{1-3} = -1.650 -(-1.220)$

$d_{1-3} = -0.43 \ m$

The force exerted on the third charge by the first is

$F_{1-3} = \frac{k q_1 q_3}{d_{1-3}^2}$

Where k is the coulomb's constant with a value $9*10^{9} \ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4}\cdot A^2.$

substituting values

$F_{1-3} = \frac{9*10^{9}* 16 *10^{-9} * (55*10^{-9})}{(-0.43)^2}$

$F_{1-3} = 4.28 *10^{-5} \ N$

The distance between the second and the third charge is

$d_{2-3} = 0- (-1.22)$

$d_{2-3} =1.220 \ m$

The force exerted on the third charge by the first is mathematically evaluated as

$F_{2-3} = \frac{k q_2 q_3}{d_{2-3}^2}$

substituting values

$F_{2-3} = \frac{9*10^{9} * (32*10^{-9}) *(55*10^{-9})}{(1.220)^2}$

$F_{2-3} = 1.06*10^{-5} N$

The net force is

$F_{net} = F_{1-3} -F_{2-3}$

substituting values

$F_{net} = 4.28 *10^{-5} - 1.06*10^{-5}$

$F_{net}= 3.22*10^{-5} \ J$

An electron and a proton are held on an x axis, with the electron at x = + 1.000 m and the proton at x = - 1.000 m.how much work

aksik [14]

It is required an infinite work. The additional electron will never reach the origin.

In fact, assuming the additional electron is coming from the positive direction, as it approaches x=+1.00 m it will become closer and closer to the electron located at x=+1.00 m. However, the electrostatic force between the two electrons (which is repulsive) will become infinite when the second electron reaches x=+1.00 m, because the distance d between the two electrons is zero:
$F=k_e \frac{q_e q_e}{d^2}$
So, in order for the additional electron to cross this point, it is required an infinite amount of work, which is impossible.

If you want to maximize the magnetic force on a current in a conductor, how should you orient the current relative to the magnet

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Should place the current perpendicular to the magnetic field

Explanation:

The magnetic force exerted on a current-carrying wire is given by

$F=ILBsin \theta$

where

I is the current in the wire

L is the length of the wire

B is the magnetic field

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the wire and the magnetic field

As we see from the formula, the magnetic force is maximum when

$sin \theta=1$

which means

$\theta=90^{\circ}$

So, when the current in the wire and the magnetic field are perpendicular to each other.

A block with mass m = 0.250 kg is attached to one end of an ideal spring and moves on a horizontal frictionless surface. The oth

ehidna [41]

Answer:

13.54 N/m

0.6 m

4.37 m/s

32.496 m/s²

Explanation:

m = Mass of block = 0.25 kg

k = Spring constant

A = Amplitude

x = Compression of spring = 0.24 m

a = Acceleration = -13 m/s²

v = Velocity = 4 m/s

The weight of the block and force on spring is equal

$ma=-kx\\\Rightarrow k=-\frac{ma}{x}\\\Rightarrow k=-\frac{0.25\times -13}{0.24}\\\Rightarrow k=13.54\ N/m$

The spring's force constant is 13.54 N/m

Total energy of the system is given by

$E=\frac{1}{2}(mv^2+kx^2)\\\Rightarrow E=\frac{1}{2}(0.25\times 4^2+13.54\times 0.24^2)\\\Rightarrow E=2.39\ J$

At maximum displacement v = 0

$E=\frac{1}{2}(mv^2+kA^2)\\\Rightarrow E=\frac{1}{2}(0+kA^2)$

$\\\Rightarrow E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2\\\Rightarrow A=\sqrt{\frac{E2}{k}}\\\Rightarrow A=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 2.39}{13.54}}\\\Rightarrow A=0.6\ m$

The amplitude of the motion is 0.6 m

Speed of the block

$E=\frac{1}{2}mv_m^2+0\\\Rightarrow v_m=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v_m=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 2.39}{0.25}}\\\Rightarrow v_m=4.37\ m/s$

The maximum speed of the block during its motion is 4.37 m/s

Forces in the spring

$ma_m=kA\\\Rightarrow a_m=\frac{kA}{m}\\\Rightarrow a_m=\frac{13.54\times 0.6}{0.25}\\\Rightarrow a_m=32.496\ m/s^2$

Maximum magnitude of the block's acceleration during its motion is 32.496 m/s²

A thin electrical heating element provides a uniform heat flux qo" to the outer surface of a duct through which air flows. The d

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

a)q= 2800 W/m²

b)To=59.4°C

Explanation:

Given that

L = 10 mm

K= 20 W/m·K

T=30°C

h= 100 W/m²K

Ti=58°C

a)

Heat flux q

q= h ΔT

q= 100 x (58 - 30 )

q= 2800 W/m²

b)

As we know that heat transfer by Fourier law given as

Q= K A ΔT/L

Lets take outer temperature is To

So by Fourier law

To= Ti + qL/K

Now by putting the values

To= Ti + qL/K

$To= 58 + 2800 \times \dfrac{ 0.01}{20}$

To=59.4°C
