A -5.40nC point charge is on the x axis at x = 1.25m . A second point charge Q is on the x axis at -0.625m.
A) What must be the charge Q for the resultant electric field at the origin to be 50.0N/C in the +x direction?
B) What must be the charge Q for the resultant electric field at the origin to be 50.0N/C in the -x direction?

Answers

Answer 1

Answe

a)  Q = 0.820 10⁻⁹ C ,   b)  Q = -3.52 10⁻⁹ C

Explanation:

The electric field is given by the formula

         E = k q / r²

where E is a vector quantity, so it must be added as a vector

          E_total = E₁ + E₂

let's look for the two electric fields

           E₁ = k q₁ / r₁²

           E₁ = 9 10⁹  5.4 10⁻⁹ / 1.25²

           E₁ = 31.10 N / C

           E2 = k Q / r₂²

           E2 = 9 10⁹ Q / 0.625²

           E2 = 23.04 10⁹ Q N / C           (1)

now we can solve the two cases presented

a) The total field is

            E_total = 50.0 N / C towards + x

since the test charge is positive the electric field E1 points to the right in the direction of the + x axis, so the equation is

            E_total = E1 + E₂

             E₂ = E_toal - E₁

             E₂ = 50.0 -31.10

             E2 = 18.9 N /C

With the value of the electric field we can calculate the charge (Q) using equation 1

             E₂ = 23.04 10⁹ Q

              Q = E₂ / 23.04 10⁹

              Q = 18.9 / 23.04 10⁹

              Q = 0.820 10⁻⁹ C

the charge on Q is positive

b) E_total = -50.0 N / C

              E_total = E₁ + E₂

              E₂ = E_total - E₁

              E2 = -50.0 - 31.10

               E2 = -81.10 N /C

we calculate the charge

             Q = E2 / 23.04 10⁹

             Q = -81.1 / 23.04 10⁹

              Q = -3.52 10⁻⁹ C

for this case the charge is negative

A rectangular building lot has a width of 52.5 ft and a length of 136 ft. Determine the area of this lot in square meters.

Answers

Answer:  A = l x w  = 16.006 m x 41.344 m = 661.75 m²

Explanation:

Conversion first to meters and then the question is easy

How many ft in a meter?   1ft = .304 m

52.5 ft = 52.5 ft  x .304m/ft = 16.006m

136 ft = 136 ft  x .304 m/ft =  41.344m

What is the equation to find the area of a rectangular lot?

A = l x w  = 16.006 m x 41.344 m = 661.75 m²

Metal sphere A has a charge of −????. An identical metal sphere B has a charge of +2????. The magnitude of the electric force on sphere B due to sphere A is F. The magnitude of the electric force on A due to B must be:______.

Answers

Answer:

Force on Sphere A due to B = F

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between the two charges is given by the Coulomb's Law, by the following formula:

F₁₂ = kq₁q₂/r²

where,

F₁₂ = Force on charge 1 due to charge 2

k = Coulomb's Constant

q₁ = magnitude of charge 1

q₂ = magnitude of charge 2

r = distance between both the charges

Similarly, the force on charge 2 due to charge 1 is given by the following formula:

F₂₁ = kq₁q₂/r²

It is clear from the formula that the force of both the charges on each other due to the other charge are same. Therefore, in our case:

Force on Sphere A due to B = Force on Sphere B due to A

Force on Sphere A due to B = F

your walk home, or both?

Answers

Answer: the distance of our walk home.

Explanation:

In Physics when we speak of distance we refer to the space traveled that is always measured on the trajectory, while displacement refers to the space from an initial position to a final position regardless of the path. When the path is a straight line, the space traveled is equal to the module of the displacement.
