. Point charges q1 = q2 = 4.0 × 10−6 C are fixed on the x-axis at x = −3.0 m and x = 3.0 m. What charge q must be placed at the

origin so that the electric field vanishes at x = 0, y = 3.0 m?

Answer:

q_3=-2.83\cdot 10^{-6}\ c

Explanation:

<u>Electric Field</u>

The total electric field is the sum of all the individual electric fields produced by each charge. Please refer to the image below. The charges q1 and q2 produce the electric fields shown in the point (0,3). Since both charges are equal in magnitude and sign and are at the same distance from the point, the horizontal component of their electric fields cancel each other, only the vertical component remains and it's directed upwards.

The third charge q3 must be negative, so the total electric field is zero. Let's first compute the value of the angle \theta by analyzing the distances in the right triangle formed by the charges q1, q2, and the point (0,3)

\displaystyle tan\theta=\frac{3}{3}=1

It follows that \theta=45^o

The distance from q1 (or q2) to the point (0,3) is computed by

d^2=3^2+3^2=18\ m^2

Let's compute the magnitude of the electric of q1 or q2:

\displaystyle E=\frac{Kq_1}{d^2}=\frac{Kq_2}{d^2}

\displaystyle E=\frac{9\cdot 10^9\times 4\cdot  10^{-6}}{18}

E=2000\ N/c

The vertical component of both fields is given by

Ey=2000cos45^o=1414.21

The total field produced by q1 and q2 is twice that quantity

E_{yt}=2828.42\ N/c

That should be the value of E3 to make the total field vanish (equal to 0)

\displaystyle E_3=\frac{Kq_3}{d_3^2}=2828.42

Solving for q3

\displaystyle q_3=\frac{2828.42\cdot d_3^2}{K}=\frac{2828.42\cdot 3^2}{9\cdot 10^9}

\boxed{ q_3=-2.83\cdot 10^{-6}\ c}

We had already established the sign of q3 must be negative

How do characteristics help you to classify seeds?
Artyom0805 [142]

Characteristics help us to classify seeds because different plants have different features.

<h3>How are characteristics used to identify and classify plants?</h3>

The divisions classify plants that are based on whether they reproduce by spores or seeds. Spore-bearing plants include ferns, club mosses, and horsetail while on the other hand, Seed-bearing plants are divided into gymnosperms and angiosperms. Different plants have different characteristics and features so on the basis of these characteristics we can easily classify seeds whether they belong from angiosperm and gymnosperm.

So we can conclude that characteristics help us to classify seeds because different plants have different features.

Convert the mass to kgs thanks
Natali [406]
Memorize this and you'll be able to do ALL of these:  <em>1  kg = 1,000 g</em>

So if you have some grams, divide the number by 1,000 to get kilograms.

1,000 g = 1.000 kg

500 g = 0.500 kg

100 g = 0.100 kg

50 g = 0.050 kg

20 g = 0.020 kg

10 g = 0.010 kg

What would happened if there is no invented of machine?​
yuradex [85]

if there were no invention of machines then life would have been more difficult and simple works could be hard to do. Even now we are using our phones, sitting in a AC room interacting to eachother from different places. without the invention of machines simple things like transportation would have been difficult. There would be horses and donkey for the transportation. There would be no electricity,no internet, no transportation, not even c computers or mobile etc. The market for business will be smaller, the knowledge and news about world would be less.

so the problem would have been bigger than we can imagine. But one thing is that nature could survive lot more compared to what we have done till now by destroying nature.

An electron is confined to a one dimensional region, bounded by an infinite potential. If the energy of the electron in its firs
OLga [1]

Answer:

The energy in its ground state is 10 meV.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The energy of the electron in its first excited state is 40 meV.

Energy of the electron in any state is given by :

E=\dfrac{n^2\pi^2h^2}{8mL^2}

For ground state, n = 1

E_1=\dfrac{\pi^2h^2}{8mL^2}.............(1)

For first excited state, n = 2

40=\dfrac{2^2\pi^2h^2}{8mL^2}.............(2)

Dividing equation (1) and (2), we get :

\dfrac{E_1}{40}=\dfrac{1}{4}

E_1=10\ meV

So, the energy in its ground state is 10 meV. Hence, this is the required solution.

Rod AB has a diameter of 200mm and rod BC has a diameter of 150mm. Find the required temperature increase to close the gap at C.
Leni [432]

Answer:

T&=\frac{\sigma_{AB}+\sigma_{BC}}{2\alpha E}

Explanation:

The given data :-

  • Diameter of rod AB ( d₁ ) = 200 mm.
  • Diameter of rod BC ( d₂ ) = 150 mm.
  • The linear co-efficient of thermal expansion of copper ( ∝ ) = 1.6 × 10⁻⁶ /°C
  • The young's modulus of elasticity of copper ( E ) = 120 GPa = 120 × 10³ MPa.
  • Consider the required temperature increase to close the gap at C = T °C
  • Consider the change in length of the rod = бL

Solution :-

\begin{aligned}\sum H& =0\\-R_A+R_C&=0\\R_A&=R_C\\R_A&=R\\R_C&=R\\R_{A}&=\text{reaction\:force\:at\:A}\\R_{C}&=\text{reaction\:force\:at\:C}\\\sigma_{AB}&=\text{axial\:stress\:at\:A}\\\sigma_{BC}&=\text{axial\:stress\:at\:B}\\\sigma_{AB}&=\frac{R}{A_{A}}\\&=\frac{R_{A}}{A_{A}}\\\sigma_{BC}&=\frac{R_{B}}{A_{B}}\\&=\frac{R}{A_{B}}\\\frac{\sigma_{AB}}{\sigma_{BC}}&=\frac{A_{B}}{A_{B}}\\&=\frac{\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot 150^{2}}{\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot 200^{2}}\\&=\frac{9}{16}\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}\delta L&= (\delta L _{thermal} +\delta L_{axial})_{AB} + ( \delta L _{thermal} +\delta L_{axial})_{BC}\\0& = (\delta L _{thermal} +\delta L_{axial})_{AB} + ( \delta L _{thermal} +\delta L_{axial})_{BC}\\&=\left[\alpha\:T\:L+\left(\frac{-RL}{AE}\right)\right]_{AB}+\left[\alpha\:T\:L+\left(\frac{-RL}{AE}\right)\right]_{BC}\\&=2\:\alpha\:T\:L-\frac{L}{E}(\sigma_{AB}+\sigma_{BC})\\T&=\frac{\sigma_{AB}+\sigma_{BC}}{2\alpha E}\end{aligned}
