In Fig. 21-29a, three positively charged particles are fixed on an x axis. Particles B and C are so dose to each other that they can be considered to be at the same distance from particle A. The net force on particle A due to particles B and C is 2.014 × 10−23 N in the negative direction of the x axis. In Fig. 21-29b, particle B has been moved to the opposite side of A but is still at the same distance from it. The net force on A is now 2.877 × 10−24 N in the negative direction of the x axis. What is the ratio qC/qB?

- In nuclear fission, a nucleus of uranium-238, which contains 92 protons, can divide into two smaller spheres, each having 46 protons and a radius of 5.90 1015 m. What is the magnitude of the repulsive electric force pushing the two spheres apart?arrow_forwardA particle with charge q on the negative x axis and a second particle with charge 2q on the positive x axis are each a distance d from the origin.

The net force on particle A due to particles B and C is 3.69 × 10-23 N in the negative direction of the x axis. In Figure (b), particle B has been moved to the opposite side of A but is still at the same distance from it. The net force on A is now 6.08 x 10-24 N in the negative direction of the x axis.

- An electron is placed on the y-axis at y = 1.0 cm. Another electron is placed on the x-axis at x = 1.0 cm. If a proton is placed at the origin, determine the net electric force magnitude experienced by the proton.arrow_forwardTwo 1.20 m nonconducting rods meet at a right angle. One rod carries +2.50 mC of charge distributed uniformly along its length, and the other carries -2.50 mC distributed uniformly along it (Fig.). (a) Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field these rods produce at point P, which is 60.0 cm from each rod. (b) If an electron is released at P, what are the magnitude and direction of the net force that these rods exert on it?arrow_forward35 In Fig. 21-24, three charged particles lie on an x axis. Particles 1 and 2 are fixed in place. Particle 3 is free to move, but the net elec- trostatic force on it from particles 1 and 2 happens to be zero. If 2.0L23 = L12, what is the ratio qı1q;?

- Two protons in an atomic nucleus are typically separated by a distance of 2 & 10"15 m. The electric repulsion force between the protons is huge, but the attractive nuclear force is even stronger and keeps the nucleus from bursting apart. What is the magnitude of the electric force between two protons separated by 2.00 & 10"15 m?arrow_forwardTwo point charges q1= 1.25 nC and q2= 4.50 nC with masses of = 3.00 µg and = 1.00 µg respectively, are both initially being held at rest separated by a distance of 0.155 cm. Charge is then released and the electrostatic force of repulsion started pushing it in the direction opposite that of which remains stationary. When they are separated by 0.225 cm, the speed of is most nearly.arrow_forwardTwo red blood cells each have mass of 9.05 × 10-14 kg and carry a negative charge spread uniformly over their surfaces. The repulsion arising from the excess charge prevents the cells from clumping together. One cell carries -2.30 pC and the other -2.60 pC, and each cell can be modeled as a sphere 3.75 x 10-° m in radius. If the red blood cells start very far apart and move directly toward each other with the same speed, what initial speed would each need so that they get close enough to just barely touch? Assume that there is no viscous drag from any of the surrounding liquid. initial speed: m/s What is the maximum acceleration of the cells as they move toward each other and just barely touch? maximum acceleration: m/s?arrow_forward
