Three point charges are arranged along the x axis. Charge q1 = -4.10 nC is located at x= 0.250 mand charge q2 = 2.20 nC is at x= -0.320 m . A positive point charge q3 is located at the origin. What must the value of q3 be for the net force on this point charge to have magnitude 3.10 μN ? (ans in nC)

What is the direction of the net force on q3? + or - direction

1) q₃ is approximately -7.58 nC

2) The direction of the net force on 'q₃' is the negative '-' direction

3) For the net force on 'q₃' to be zero, 'q₃' can be placed at x = -0.079 m or x = -1.881 m

Explanation:

1) The force, 'F', between two charged spheres is given as follows;

$F = \dfrac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^2}$

The net force acting on the point charge, 'q₃', is given as follows;

$F_{NET} = \dfrac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_3}{x_1^2} + \dfrac{k \cdot q_2 \cdot q_3}{x_2^2}$

By substituting the given values, we have;

$F_{NET} = 3.10 \ \mu N = \dfrac{k \cdot (-4.10 \ nC) \cdot q_3}{(0.250 \ m) ^2} + \dfrac{k \cdot 2.20 \ nC \cdot q_3}{(-0.320 \ m)^2}$

$3.01 \ \mu N= q_3 \cdot \left ( \dfrac{k \cdot (-4.10 \ nC) }{(0.250 \ m) ^2} + \dfrac{k \cdot 2.20 \ nC }{(-0.320 \ m)^2} \right) = -\dfrac{14117 \ nC \cdot K}{320}$

$\therefore q_3 = 3.01 \ \mu N \times -\dfrac{320 \ m^2}{14117 \ nC \cdot K}$

K = 9 × 10⁹ N·m²·C⁻²

$\therefore q_3 = 3.01 \ \times 10^{-6} \ N \times -\dfrac{320 \ m^2}{14117 \times 10^{-9} \ C \times 9 \times 10^9 \ N \cdot m^2 \cdot C^{-2}}= -7.58 \ nC$

q₃ ≈ -7.58 nC

2) Given that the negative charge, 'q₁' (-4.10 nC), is located at x = 0.250 m, which is on the positive, '+' side of the origin, it will repel the negatively charged 'q₃', to the '-' direction. q₃ will also be attracted to the '-' direction by the positively charged 'q₂' which is at -0.320 m on the negative side of the origin

The net force's direction on q₃ will be in the '-' direction

3) For zero net force, we have;

The distance between the given point charges, r = 0.250 - (-0.320)) = 0.57 m

Let 'r1' represent the distance between 'q1' and 'q3', therefore, the distance between 'q2' and 'q3' is 0.57 - r1

By substitution, we have;

$0 \ N= q_3 \cdot \left ( \dfrac{k \cdot (-4.10 \ nC) }{(0.57 - r_1 ) ^2} + \dfrac{k \cdot 2.20 \ nC }{(r_1)^2} \right)$

$\therefore \dfrac{k \cdot 4.10 \ nC }{(0.57 - r_1 ) ^2} = \dfrac{k \cdot 2.20 \ nC }{(r_1)^2}$

From which we have;

$\dfrac{4.10 \ nC }{(0.57 - r_1 ) ^2} = \dfrac{2.20 \ nC }{(r_1)^2}$

(r₁)²×4.10 = 2.20 × (0.57 - r₁)²

From the above equation, we have;

95,000·r₁²+ 125,400·r₁-35739 = 0

Solving, using a graphing calculator we get;

r₁ ≈ 0.241 or r₁ ≈ -1.561

Where, 'r₁', is measured from 'q₂', therefore, we have;

r₁ = 0.241 + (-0.320) ≈ -0.079 or r₁ = -1.561 + (-0.320) ≈ -1.881

Therefore, the charge 'q₃' can be placed at x = -0.079 or x = -1.881 for the ne force on it to be zero

Answer from: Quest

we have been given a quadratic function $f(x)=(x-5)^{2} +2$ and we need to restrict the domain such that it becomes a one to one function.

we know that vertex of this quadratic function occurs at (5,2).

further, we know that range of this function is $[2,\infty)$ .

if we restrict the domain of this function to either $(-\infty,5]$ or $[5,\infty)$ , it will become one to one function.

let us know find its inverse.

$y=(x-5)^{2}+2$

upon interchanging x and y, we get:

$x=(y-5)^{2}+2$

let us now solve this function for y.

$(y-5)^{2}=x-2\\ y-5=\pm \sqrt{x-2}\\ y=5\pm \sqrt{x-2}\\$

hence, the inverse function would be $f^{-1}(x)=5+\sqrt{x-2}$ if we restrict the domain of original function to $[5,\infty)$ and the inverse function would be $f^{-1}(x)=5-\sqrt{x-2}$ if we restrict the domain to $(-\infty,5]$ .

Consider an ordinary, helium-filled party balloon with a volume of 2.2 ft3. the lifting force on the balloon due to the outside air is the net resultant of the pressure distribution exerted on the exterior surface of the balloon. using this fact, we can derive archimedes’ principle, namely that the upward force on the balloon is equal to the weight of the air displaced by the balloon. assuming that the balloon is at sea level, where the air density is 0.002377 slug/ft3, calculate the maximum weight that can be lifted by the balloon. note: the molecular weight of air is 28.8 and that of helium is 4.
