Question

For this written assignment you must upload an electronic version of your answer to Canvas by the deadline above. (Look under Assignments, then click on the name of the assignment and then click on the Submit Assignment button.) Your answer must contain only a single PDF file of good quality and reasonable size. More information and suggested apps to create a file are given in the course syllabus under Course Information in Canvas Points will be deducted for late submissions We can think of a water molecule as 3 charges, two positively charged hydrogen atoms which each have a charge of +e, and an oxygen atom with a charge of -2e, where e is the charge of a single electron 1.60 × 10-19 C. The hydrogens are both spaced approximately 10-10 m from the oxygen atom and there is an angle of 104.5° between them, as shown in the figure below. In this problem, please neglect any gravitational forces. 104.5° 0-10 m 10-10 m a.) Sketch three free body diagrams, one for each atom, showing the forces due to the two ot her atoms. Be sure that the length of your arrows roughly reflect the relative magnitudes of the forces. b.) On each of your diagrams, also draw an arrow indicating the net force on each atom Again please pay attention to the relative lengths of your arrows c.) Determine the magnitude of the net force (in Newtons) on the oxygen atom due to the Coulomb forces from the hydrogen atoms
