Answer:

Explanation:
A charge located at a point will experience a zero electrostatic force if the resultant electric field on it due to any other charge(s) is zero.
is located at the origin. The net force on it will only be zero if the resultant electric field intensity due to
and
at the origin is equal to zero. Therefore we can perform this solution without necessarily needing the value of
.
Let the electric field intensity due to
be +
and that due to
be -
since the charge is negative. Hence at the origin;

From equation (1) above, we obtain the following;

From Coulomb's law the following relationship holds;

where
is the distance of
from the origin,
is the distance of
from the origin and k is the electrostatic constant.
It therefore means that from equation (2) we can write the following;

k can cancel out from both side of equation (3), so that we finally obtain the following;

Given;

Substituting these values into equation (4); we obtain the following;


Answer:
47 m
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question include the following:
Length of dry leg 1 (L1) = 40 m
Length of dry leg 2 (L2) = 25 m
Length of swimming course (L) =..?
The length of the swimming course can be obtained by using pythagoras theory as shown below:
L² = L1² + L2²
L² = 40² + 25²
L² = 1600 + 625
L² = 2225
Take the square root of both side.
L = √2225
L = 47.1 ≈ 47 m
Therefore, the length of the swimming course is approximately 47 m.
Answer:
1) The greatest height attained by the ball equals 20.387 meters.
2) The time it takes for the ball to reach 15 meters approximately equals 1 second.
Explanation:
The greatest height will be attained when the ball stop's in the air and starts falling back to the earth.
thus using third equation of kinematics we obtain the height attained as

where
'v' is the final speed of the ball
'u' is the initial speed of the ball
'a' is the acceleration that the ball is under which in this case equals 9.81 
's' is the distance it covers
Thus for maximum height applying the values in the equation we get

Using the same equation we can find the speed of the ball when it reaches 15 meters of height as

the time it takes to reduce the velocity to this value can be found by first equation of kinematics as
