Well, if we've been paying attention in class, we already KNOW that the electrostatic force changes as the inverse square of the distance, and the top graph is conveniently labeled "Electrostatic Force".

But if we didn't already know that, we'd have to examine the graphs, and find the one where 'y' changes like 1/x² .

The top graph does that.  After 1 unit of time, the force is 350.  Double the time to 2 units, and the force should drop to 1/4 of 350 ... sure enough, it's a little less than 90.  Double the time again, to 4 units, and it should drop to 1/4 of a little less than 90 ... by golly, it's down below 30.

The first graph is what an inverse square looks like.  Now that you've worked out this graph, you'll know an inverse square relationship whenever you see it.

An antibaryon composed of two antiup quarks
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

(2) −1 e

Explanation:

A quark is the lightest elementary particles which form hadron such as proton and neutron. A quark has fractional charge.

Up, charm and top quarks have +\frac{2}{3} e charge where as down, strange and bottom quarks have -\frac{1}{3}e charge.

The antiparticle of up quark is antiup quark and has charge -\frac{2}{3}e charge.

The antiparticle of down quark is antidown quark and has charge +\frac{1}{3}e charge.

An antibaryon is composed of two anti-up quark and one anti-down quark.

Net charge of the anti-baryon is:

2\times (-\frac{2}{3} e)+1\times (+\frac{1}{3})e=-1e

Thus, antibaryon has -1e charge.

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
notka56 [123]

Complete Question

Part of the question is shown on the first uploaded image

The rest of the question

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

Ilya [14]

Answer:

There is an inward force acting on the can

Explanation:

This inward force is known as Centripetal force and it is responsible for making the can whirl on the end of a string in circle and it is also directed towards the center around which the can is moving.
