hmm...good point, guess i shouldn't do this in my head. well, its 1.41421. Where Do i need to use it? I didn't have r in my final formula? where did i go wrong?

1234 yes

A^2 + B^2 =c^2 1^2+1^2=c^2 2=c^2 1=c

Well the diagonal is also 1. K should = 8.99E9. I still get the wrong answer.

I don't know how to do vector analysis, can you add more info? http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/3104/876fa4a066b34fc617aee82op8.th.jpg [Broken]

Homework Statement Three point charges are located at the corner of an equilateral triangle. The Coulomb constant is 8.98755 X 109 N*m2 / C2 What is the strength of the electrostatic force on the top charge? Answer in units of N. Length of each side is .19m Photo...

Homework Statement Four point charges are placed at the four corners of a square. Each side of the square has a length L. Find the magnitude of the electric force on q2 due to all three charges q1 , q2 , q3 and q4. Given L=1 and q= 1.38 μC. Answer in N...

distance is 1.12μm , so d=(1.12E-9) - (1.2E-9 * .004) =1.11552E-9 & i totally butchered the rest. I'm not sure what its supposed to look like Fe=8.99E+9 * ? / 1.11552E-9 Then Fs=kx Fs*x =K

Homework Statement A molecule of DNA lies along a straight line. It is 1.12 μm long. The ends of the molecule become singly ionized; negative on one end, positive on the other. The helical molecule acts as a spring and compresses .4% upon becoming charged. The Coulomb constant is 8.99 X...

Homework Statement Assume: Take the speed of sound in air to be 341 m/s. A bat, moving at 6.3 m/s, is chasing a flying insect. The bat emits a 47 kHz chirp and receives back an echo at 47.73kHz. At what speed is the bat gaining on its prey? Answer in units of m/s. Homework Equations...

Homework Statement A train is moving parallel and adjacent to a highway with a constant speed of 25 m/s. A car, at time t0, is 42 m behind the train, traveling in the same direction as the train at 49 m/s, and accelerating at 4 m/s^2. The train's whistle blows at a frequency of 460Hz. The...
