Two particles are fixed on an x-axis. Particle 1 of charge 40Cis located at x=-2.0cm; particle 2 of charge Qis located at x=3.0cm. Particle 3 of charge magnitude 20Cis released from rest on the yaxis aty=2.0cm. What is the value of Qif the initial acceleration of particle 3 is in the positive direction of (a) the x-axis and (b) the y-axis?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The value of Q on the x-axis in the initial acceleration of particle 3 is balanced .
  2. The value of Q on the x-axis in the initial acceleration of particle 3 is 55.2C

Step by step solution

01

 Step 1: The given data

Particle 1 of charge40Cis located at x=-2.0cm

Particle 2 of charge Q is located at x=3.0cm

Particle 3 of charge 20Cis released from rest on the y axis at y=2.0cm

Understanding the concept of Coulomb’s law

Using the given formula of angle exerted by one force on the other force, we can get the angle between the particular forces. Hence, using this formula in the force equation of Coulomb's law, we can get the required components of acceleration by considering the required case of canceling the components to get the desired value.

Formulae:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between any two particles,

F1=1(40)|q1||q2|cosr2i^+|q1||q2|sinr2j

(1)

The angle between two forces q1,and q2 =tan-1r1r2,=tan-1r1r2

a) Calculation of the value of Q in the positive x-axis

For the net force to be in the +x direction, the y components of the individual forces must cancel. The angle of the force exerted by the q1=40Ccharge on localid="1662639426410" q3=20Cis localid="1663918785308" 45, and the angle of force exerted on q3 by Q is at 鈥撐 where the angle value is given using equation (2) as follows:

=tan-12.0cm3.0cm=33.70

Therefore, the cancellation of y components is achieved if the net force of the y-component of particle 3 is balanced. This is found by substituting the given values in equation (1) of y-components to get the following equation:

localid="1662640231077" kq1q3(0.022m)2sin45=k|Q|q3((0.03m)2+(0.02m)2)2sin33.7

|Q|=83C

Charge Q is 鈥減ulling鈥 on q3 , so (since > 0) we conclude that is-83Cthe charge value for the positive x-axis.

b) Calculation of value of Q in the positive y-axis

Now, we require that the x components cancel, and we note that in this case, the angle of force on exerted by Q is +胃 (it is repulsive, and Q is positive-valued).

Therefore, the cancellation of x components is achieved if the net force of the y-component of particle 3 is balanced. This is found by substituting the given values in equation (1) of y-components to get the following equation:

kq1q3(0.022m)2cos45=k|Q|q3((0.03m)2+(0.02m)2)2cos33.7

Q=55.2C

Hence, the value of the charge in the positive y-axis is 55.2C.
