Answer to Problem 1EAP

Solution:

Straightest possible paths are followed by the explorers, while these “straight” lines are following the curved surface of the earth. Travelers are moving in opposite directions along paths.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Considering the Earth’s surface and describing the straightest possible path.

Straightest possible paths are followed by the explorers, while these “straight” lines are following the curved surface of the earth. Travelers are moving in opposite directions along the paths. Paths are as straight as possible, and they will meet as they go around the earth, and this fact that we attribute to the curvature of the earth’s surface.

Conclusion:

Paths are as straight as possible, and they will meet as they go around the earth, and this fact that we attribute to the curvature of the earth’s surface.

Example Two charges, one with +10 μC of charge, and another with - 7.0 μC of charge are placed in line with each other and held at a fixed distance of 0.45 m. Where can you put a 3rd charge of +5 μC, so that the net force on the 3rd charge is zero?
* Coulomb's Law Example Three charges are positioned as seen below. Charge 1 is +2.0 μC and charge 2 is +8.0μC, and charge 3 is - 6.0MC. What is the magnitude and the direction of the force on charge 2 due to charges 1 and 3? 93 kq92 F == 2 r13 = 0.090m 91 r12 = 0.12m 92 Coulomb's Constant: k = 8.99x10+9 Nm²/C² ✓
