(a) The location of a point where the electric field is zero is at the center of the triangle which is equal to ¹/₆√3a.

(b) The magnitude and direction of the electric field at the top corner due to the two charges at the base is  1.732 kq/a².

<h3>Position where the electric field is zero</h3>

The electric field is zero at the center of the equilateral triangle whose magnitude is equal to √3a/6.

<h3>Electric field at top corner due to two charges at the base</h3>

E = E₁ + E₂

where;

  • E₁ is electric field at the left base corner
  • E₂ is electric field at the right base corner

E = kq/a²[(cos 60i + sin 60j) + (-cos 60i + sin 60j)]

E = kq/a²[2(sin 60j)] = 1.732 kq/a²

Thus, the location of a point where the electric field is zero is at the center of the triangle which is equal to ¹/₆√3a.

The magnitude and direction of the electric field at the top corner due to the two charges at the base is  1.732 kq/a².

A block of mass 500g is pulled from rest on ahorizontal frictionless bench by a steady force F and travels 8m in 2s find the acc
Korvikt [17]

<u>We are Given:</u>

Mass of the block (m) = 500 grams or 0.5 Kg

Initial velocity of the block (u) = 0 m/s

Distance travelled by the block (s) = 8 m

Time taken to cover 8 m (t)= 2 seconds

Acceleration of the block (a) = a m/s²

<u>Solving for the acceleration:</u>

From the seconds equation of motion:

s = ut + 1/2* (at²)

<em>replacing the variables</em>

8 = (0)(2) + 1/2(a)(2)²

8 = 2a

a = 4 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the block is 4 m/s²
