Acharge 5.00 nc is placed at the origin of an xy-coordinate system, and a charge -1.97 nc is placed on the positive x-axis at x = 4.00 cm . a third particle, of charge 6.05 nc is now placed at the point x = 4.00 cm , y= 3.02 cm . q: find the y-component of the total force exerted on the third charge by the other two

The total force exerted on the Y axis is: -52.07μC

Explanation:

This is an electrostatic problem, so we will use the formulas from the Coulomb's law:

We are interested only of the effect of the force on the Y axis. We can notice that the charge placed on the x=4cm will exers a force only on the Y axis so:

Fy1=-117.61μC

For the charge placed on the origin we have to calculate the distance and the angle:

we can find the angle with:

The for the Force on Y axis is:

Fy2=65.54μC

The total force exerted on the Y axis is:

Fy=Fy1+Fy2=-52.07μC

hi there!

your question asks at which segment does freezing occur.

since we're talking about water, the freezing point of water will be 32 degrees fahrenheit or below.

hope this ! ~
