Magnitude of the resultant force (Fn₁) on q₁

Fn₁ = 0.142N (directed toward the center of the square)

Explanation:

Theory of electrical forces

Because the particle q₁ is close to three other electrically charged particles, it will experience three electrical forces and the solution of the problem is of a vector nature.

Graphic attached

The directions of the individual forces exerted by q₂, q₃ and q₄ on q₁ are shown in the attached figure.

The force (F₁₄) of q₄ on q₁ is repulsive because the charges have equal signs and the forces (F₁₂) and (F₁₃) of q₂ and q₃ on q₁ are attractive because the charges have opposite signs.

Calculation of the forces exerted on the charge q₁

To calculate the magnitudes of the forces exerted by the charges q₂, q₃, and q₄ on the charge q₁ we apply Coulomb's law:

$F_{12} = \frac{k*q_1*q_2}{r_{12}^2}$ : Magnitude of the electrical force of q₂ over q₁. Equation((1)

$F_{13} = \frac{k*q_1*q_3}{r_{13}^2}$ : Magnitude of the electrical force of q₃ over q₁. Equation (2)

$F_{14} = \frac{k*q_1*q_4}{r_{14}^2}$ : Magnitude of the electrical force of q₄ over q₁. Equation (3)

Equivalences

1µC= 10⁻⁶ C

Known data

q₁=q₄= 1.96 µC = 1.96*10⁻⁶C

q₂=q₃= -1.96 µC = -1.96*10⁻⁶C

r₁₂= r₁₃ = 0.47m: distance between q₁ and q₂ and q₁ and q₄

$r_{14} = \sqrt{0.47^2+ 0.47^2}=0.664m$

k=8.99x10⁹N*m²/C² : Coulomb constant

F₁₂ calculation

We replace data in the equation (1):

$F_{12} = \frac{8.99*10^9*(1.96*10^{-6})^2}{0.47^2}$

F₁₂ = 0.156 N Direction of the positive x axis (+x)

F₁₃ calculation

We replace data in the equation (2):

$F_{13} = \frac{8.99*10^9*(1.96*10^{-6})^2}{0.47^2}$

F₁₃ = 0.156 N Direction of the negative y axis (-y)

Magnitude of the net electrostatic force between F₁₃ and F₁₂

$F_{n23}= \sqrt{0.156^2+0.156^2} = 0.22N$ (directed toward the center of the square)

F₁₄ calculation

We replace F₁₄ data in the equation (3):

$F_{14} = \frac{8.99*10^9*(1.96*10^{-6})^2}{0.664^2}$

F₁₄ = 0.078 N (In the opposite direction to Fn₂₃)

Calculation of the resulting force on q₁: Fn₁

Fn₁ = Fn₂₃ - F₁₄ = 0.22 - 0.078 = 0.142 N

The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. what best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter? sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to transfer when the molecules are close together. sound travels slowest in steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart. sound travels fastest in ice because the temperature of solids is always greater, so the heat transfers the sound energy. sound travels slowest in steam because the pressure is so great the sound cannot travel though the steam particles.

Two cannon balls weighing 18 kg and 24 kg are chained together and fired horizontally with a velocity of 165 m/s from the top of a 21-m wall. the chain breaks during the flight of the cannonballs and the 18-kg cannonball strikes the ground at t = 1.5 s, at a distance of 240 m from the foot of the wall, and 7 m to the right of the line of fire. determine the position of the other cannonball at that instant. neglect the resistance of the air.
