The Three Point Charges +4.0μC,5.0μC+ 4.0 \mu \mathrm { C } , - 5.0 \mu \mathrm { C }

Question 53

Multiple Choice

The three point charges +4.0μC,5.0μC+ 4.0 \mu \mathrm { C } , - 5.0 \mu \mathrm { C } , and 9.0μC- 9.0 \mu \mathrm { C } are placed on the xx -axis at the points x=0x = 0 cm,x=40 cm\mathrm { cm } , x = 40 \mathrm {~cm} , and x=120 cmx = 120 \mathrm {~cm} , respectively. What is the xx component of the electrostatic force on the 9.0μC- 9.0 \mu \mathrm { C } charge due to the other two charges? (k=1/4πε0=9.0×109 Nm2/C2) \left( k = 1 / 4 \pi \varepsilon _ { 0 } = 9.0 \times 10 ^ { 9 } \mathrm {~N} \cdot \mathrm { m } ^ { 2 } / \mathrm { C } ^ { 2 } \right)


A) 0.64 N0.64 \mathrm {~N}
B) 0.55 N- 0.55 \mathrm {~N}
C) 0.41 N- 0.41 \mathrm {~N}
D) 0.55 N0.55 \mathrm {~N}
E) 0.41 N0.41 \mathrm {~N}
