coulumb's law part two
@Shadow
Well you'd just solve for the force in each direction then sum them.
Since all the numbers are the same, you'd only need to do it once.
\[F_{e} = \sqrt (F_{x}^2 + F_{y}^2 )\]
-2.048N
ok wth
Okay let me see if that's correct
ok i give up ily but i wanna sleep thanks
I got the same force, but keep in mind that's just the attractive force between Q1 and Q3 or Q2 and Q3.
It's just one last easy step.
oh so you multiply that value by two
We take -2.048 and then square it, then multiply it by two, since the forces in each direction are the same magnitude and direction (since they are same distance, charge, etc).
Then take the square root of that
2.896 N
good job, easy
By the way, this is my guide: https://questioncove.com/study#/updates/5ae2784b1b352b3acc334c00
For when the exam comes up.
