The Electric field is zero at a distance 2.492 cm from the origin.

Let A be point where the charge 15\times10^-6 C is placed which is the origin.

Let B be the point where the charge 9\times 10^-6 C is placed. Given that B is at a distance 1 cm from the origin.

Both the charges are positive. But charge at origin is greater than that of B. So we can conclude that the point on the x-axis where the electric field = 0 is after B on x - axis.

i.e., at distance 'x' from B.

Using Coulomb's law, \frac{kQ_A^2}{d_A^2} = \frac{kQ_B^2}{d_B^2},

Q_A = 15\times 10^-6 C

Q_B=9\times10^-6C

d_A = 1+x cm

d_B=x cm

k is the Coulomb's law constant.

On substituting the values into the above equation, we get,

\frac{(15\times10^-6)^2}{(1+x)^2} =\frac{(9\times10^-6)^2}{x^2}

Taking square roots on both sides and simplifying and solving for x, we get,

1.67x = 1+x

Therefore, x = 1.492 cm

Hence the electric field is zero at a distance 1+1.492 = 2.492 cm from the origin.

Answer:

12.7m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the diver = 77kg

Height  = 8.18m

Unknown:

Final velocity  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use one of the motion equations.

            v²  = u² + 2gh

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

             v² = 0² + (2 x 9.8 x 8.18)

             v² = 160.3

             v = 12.7m/s

When you sit in a chair, your body exerts a downward force on the chair. What
Ahat [919]

I feel like the answer would be B. The chair pushes down on the floor becuase the question says when you sit in a chair, your body exerts a downward force on the chair so it would be pushing downward meaning that the chair would also go down making it push onto the floor.

A student pushes on a crate with a force of 100 Newtons directed to the right.
romanna [79]

Answer:

100N

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Therefore 100N of force is exerted by the crate on student as a reaction to his action

A wheel that is rotating at 33.3 rad/s is given an angular acceleration of 2.15 rad/s 2. Through what angle has the wheel turned
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The angle through which the wheel turned is 947.7 rad.

Explanation:

initial angular velocity, \omega _i = 33.3 rad/s

angular acceleration, α = 2.15 rad/s²

final angular velocity, \omega_f = 72 rad/s

angle the wheel turned, θ = ?

The angle through which the wheel turned can be calculated by applying the following kinematic equation;

\omega_f^2 = \omega_i^2 + 2\alpha \theta\\\\\theta = \frac{\omega_f^2\   -\  \omega_i^2}{2\alpha } \\\\\theta = \frac{(72)^2\   -\  (33.3)^2}{2(2.15)}\\\\\theta = 947.7 \ rad

Therefore, the angle through which the wheel turned is 947.7 rad.
