Two point charges are fixed on the y axis: a negative point charge q1 = -28 µC at y1 = +0.21 m and a positive point charge q2 at y2 = +0.36 m. A third point charge q = +8.5 µC is fixed at the origin. The net electrostatic force exerted on the charge q by the other two charges has a magnitude of 17 N and points in the +y direction. Determine the magnitude of q2.

Explanation:

Coulomb's force:

where, q and q' are two charges, d is the distance between them and k is the Coulomb constant.

The net force on charge q at origin is 17 N.

5.35 x 10^-5 C

Explanation:

q1 = - 28 micro Coulomb =- 28 x 10^-6 C

q2 = ?

q3 = 8.5 micro Coulomb = 8.5 x 10^-6 C

y1 = 0.21 m

y2 = 0.36 m

q3 is at origin.

Let F1 is the force between q1 and q3 and F2 is the force between q2 and q3.

By use of Coulomb's law, the force between the two charges is given by

Now,

F1 = 48.6 N    .... (1)

Now,

F2 = 590277.78 q2   .... (2)

Now, F1 - F2 = 17

48.6 - 590277.78 q2 = 17     from (1) and (2)

q2 = 5.35 x 10^-5 C

Thus, the charge on q2 is 5.35 x 10^-5 C.  

the word that best describes martin luther king jr.'s tone in the video is dignified

martin luther king, jr. was a social activist and baptist minister who played a key role in the american civil rights movement from the mid-1950s until his assassination in 1968. the video shows his manner and attitude having or showing a composed or serious manner that is worthy of respect so dignified is the correct answer

true is the correct answer
