Answer:
X₃₁ = 0.58 m and X₃₂ = -1.38 m
Explanation:
For this exercise we use Newton's second law where the force is the Coulomb force
F₁₃ - F₂₃ = 0
F₁₃ = F₂₃
Since all charges are of the same sign, forces are repulsive
F₁₃ = k q₁ q₃ / r₁₃²
F₂₃ = k q₂ q₃ / r₂₃²
Let's find the distances
r₁₃ = x₃- 0
r₂₃ = 2 –x₃
We substitute
k q q / x₃² = k 4q q / (2-x₃)²
q² (2 - x₃)² = 4 q² x₃²
4- 4x₃ + x₃² = 4 x₃²
5x₃² + 4 x₃ - 4 = 0
We solve the quadratic equation
x₃ = [-4 ±√(16 - 4 5 (-4)) ] / 2 5
x₃ = [-4 ± 9.80] 10
X₃₁ = 0.58 m
X₃₂ = -1.38 m
For this two distance it is given that the two forces are equal
Answer: vl = 2.75 m/s vt = 1.5 m/s
Explanation:
If we assume that no external forces act during the collision, total momentum must be conserved.
If both cars are identical and also the drivers have the same mass, we can write the following:
m (vi1 + vi2) = m (vf1 + vf2) (1)
The sum of the initial speeds must be equal to the sum of the final ones.
If we are told that kinetic energy must be conserved also, simplifying, we can write:
vi1² + vi2² = vf1² + vf2² (2)
The only condition that satisfies (1) and (2) simultaneously is the one in which both masses exchange speeds, so we can write:
vf1 = vi2 and vf2 = vi1
If we call v1 to the speed of the leading car, and v2 to the trailing one, we can finally put the following:
vf1 = 2.75 m/s vf2 = 1.5 m/s
Answer:The frequency of the echo is slightly decreased
Explanation:
Given
speed of boat 
cliff is 
away
when boat is still , suppose t is the time taken by the echo to reach observer on the boat
But as soon as boat starts moving the distance between cliff and boat decreasing and time for echo to reach observer also decreases
and we know 
therefore frequency of the echo slightly decreased.
The work-energy theorem states that the net work done by the forces on an object equals the change in its kinetic energy.
