Question

particles q1=+18.1uC, q2=-11.2uC, and q3=+5.67uC are in a line. particles q1 and q2 are separated by 0.280m and particles q2 and q3 are separated 0.350m. what is the net force on particle q2?

Answer 1

To find the net force on particle q2, calculate the forces between q1 and q2, and between q2 and q3, and then add them together using Coulomb's Law.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the net force on particle q2, we need to calculate the forces between q1 and q2, and between q2 and q3, and then add them together.

The force between two charged particles can be calculated using Coulomb's Law:

Force = (k * |q1 * q2|) / r^2

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the charges, and r is the separation between the charges

Once we have the forces, we can add them together to find the net force.
