Answer:
A. Moving the mass from Point C to B, although it involves a greater distance, requires less force to do the same amount of work.
Explanation:
The amount of work will be the same either way. By going from C to B, the mover will exert less force over a greater distance, which is easier than exerting a greater force over a shorter distance.
Answer:
The equilibrium position for the third charge is 69.28 cm
Explanation:
Given;
q₁ = -5.00 x 10⁻⁹ C
q₂ = -2.00 x 10⁻⁹ C
q₃ = 15.00 x 10⁻⁹ C
distance between q₁ and q₂ = 40.0 cm = 0.4 m
(-q₁)--------------------------------------(-q₂)---------------------------------(+q₃)
At equilibrium the repulsive force between q₁ and q₂ must be equal to attractive force between q₂ and q₃
According to Coulomb's law, repulsive or attractive force between charges is calculated as;

where;
F is repulsive or attractive force between charges
K is Coulomb's constant = 8.99 x 10⁹ Nm²/c²
r₁ is the distance between q₁ and q₂
q₁, q₂ and q₃ are the charge
distance between q₂ and q₃, r₂ is calculated as;

Therefore, the equilibrium position for the third charge is 69.28 cm
The combined acceleration of all the molecules of oxidized fuel as they emerge from the rocket's nozzles create the thrust that accelerates and propels the rocket
Acceleration = change in velocity/time
By F = ma,
6 = 33 x change in velocity / 9
change in velocity = +1.636 m/s
