Two particles are fixed on an x axis. Particle 1 of charge
Chapter , Problem 11(choose chapter or problem)
Two particles are fixed on an x-axis. Particle 1 of charge \(40\,\mu{C}\) is located at x=-2.0 cm; particle 2 of charge Q is located at x=3.0 cm. Particle 3 of charge magnitude \(20\ \mu{C}\) is released from rest on the y-axis at y=2.0 cm. What is the value of Q if the initial acceleration of particle 3 is in the positive direction of (a) the x-axis and (b) the y-axis?

QUESTION:
Two particles are fixed on an x-axis. Particle 1 of charge \(40\,\mu{C}\) is located at x=-2.0 cm; particle 2 of charge Q is located at x=3.0 cm. Particle 3 of charge magnitude \(20\ \mu{C}\) is released from rest on the y-axis at y=2.0 cm. What is the value of Q if the initial acceleration of particle 3 is in the positive direction of (a) the x-axis and (b) the y-axis?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
Consider the given data as follows.
The charge on particle 1 is \(Q_1=40 \ \text{mC}\) .
The charge on particle 2 is \(Q_2=Q\) .
The charge on particle 3 is \(Q_3=20 \ \text{mC}\) .
The distance of particle 1 is \(x_1=2.0 \ \text{cm}\) .
The distance of particle 2 is \(x_2=3.0 \ \text{cm}\) .
The distance of particle 3 is \(y=2.0 \ \text{cm}\) .
