three charges are laid out on the x-axis at x1= -4, x2= 0, x3=4 with values of q1= 50 uC, q2= -25 uC, q3= -50 uC. determine the force and acceleration felt by the fourth charge placed at the point P with m= 0.02 g and Q= +100 uC

Step 1
The force between two charges can be calculated using Coulomb's Law: \[ F = \frac{{k \cdot |q_1 \cdot q_2|}}{{r^2}} \] where F is the force, k is the electrostatic constant (9 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2), q1 and q2 are the charges, and r is the distance between the Show more…

Two point charges are located on the y-axis as follows: charge q1 = -1.50 nC at y = -0.600 m, and charge q2 = +3.20 nC at the origin 1y = 02. What is the total force (magnitude and direction) exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = +5.00 nC located at y = -0.400 m ?
