A +13.4 nC charge is located at (0,9.4) cm and a -4.23 nC charge is located (4.99, 0) cm. Where would a -14.23 nC charge need to

be located in order that the electric field at the origin be zero? Express your answer, in cm, as the magnitude of the distance of q3 from the origin.

In order to solve this problem, we will first need to find the electric field at the origin without the 3rd charge

E1 = (9x10^9)(13.4x10^-9)/(9.4x10^-2)^2 = 13648.7 V/m towards the negative y-axis

E2 = (9x10^9)(4.23x10^-9)/(4.99x10^-2)^2 = 15289.1 V/m towards the positive x-axis

The red arrow shows the direction of which the electric field points.

To make the electric field at the origin 0, we must find a location where q3 = the magnitude of q1 and q2

Etotal = sqrt(E1+E2) = 20494.97 V/m

E3 = 20494.97 = (9x10^9)(14.23x10^-9)/(d)^2

d = 0.079 m = 7.9 cm

A pendulum that has a period of 2.67000 s and that is located where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.77 m/s2 is moved to a l
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for time period of pendulum is given as follows

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

where l is length of pendulum and g is acceleration due to gravity .

Putting the given values for first place

2.67=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{9.77} }

Putting the values for second place

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{9.81} }

Dividing these two equation

\frac{T}{2.67} =\sqrt{\frac{9.77}{9.81} }

T = 2.66455 s.

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

<em>18808.7 m/s^2</em>

Explanation:

Given

Length of the pendulum L = 1.44 m

Number of complete cycles of oscillation n = 1.10 x 10^2

total time of oscillation t = 2.00 x 10^2 s

The period of the T = n/t

T = (1.10 x 10^2)/(2.00 x 10^2) = 0.55 ^-s

The period of a pendulum is gotten as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }

where g is the acceleration due to gravity

substituting values, we have

0.55 = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{1.44}{g} }

0.0875 = \sqrt{\frac{1.44}{g} }

squaring both sides of the equation, we have

7.656 x 10^-3 = 144/g

g = 144/(7.656 x 10^-3) = <em>18808.7 m/s^2</em>

Why ultraviolet light have more energy than the visible light
Mumz [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ultraviolet radiation has shorter waves than blue or violet light, and thus oscillates more rapidly and carries more energy per photon than visible light does. Does ultraviolet rays carry more energy? The distinguishing factor among the different types of electromagnetic radiation is their energy content.

An unknown noise is generated in a building. Sound waves move toward an open doorway. Waves of which wavelength would diffract t
nadezda [96]
<span>The answer is 15 centimeters. The waves with the smallest wavelengths (also highest frequency) have the least capacity to diffract around objects hence have a shadowing effect, behind the object, especially if the wavelength is small compared to the object. This is also the reason why high-frequency electromagnetic waves do not have a good reach in mountainous regions. </span>
