Complete Question:
Two 3.0µC charges lie on the x-axis, one at the origin and the other at 2.0m. A third point is located at 6.0m. What is the potential at this third point relative to infinity? (The value of k is 9.0*10^9 N.m^2/C^2)
Answer:
The potential due to these charges is 11250 V
Explanation:
Potential V is given as;
where;
K is coulomb's constant = 9x10⁹ N.m²/C²
r is the distance of the charge
q is the magnitude of the charge
The first charge located at the origin, is 6.0 m from the third charge; the potential at this point is:
The second charge located at 2.0 m, is 4.0 m from the third charge; the potential at this point is:
Total potential due to this charges = 4500 V + 6750 V = 11250 V

As per Stefan - Boltzmann law we know that
1. Power radiated in the form of electromagnetic energy by an object at nonzero temperature.
2. Every object at absolute (kelvin) temperature t will radiate electromagnetic waves.
3. This radiation is typically in the infrared for objects at room temperature, with some visible light emitted for objects heated above 1000 k.
4. The formula governing the rate of energy radiation from a surface is given by ,
where p is the thermal power (also known as the heat current h).
Thermal radiation in visible light can be seen on hot metalwork. Its emission in the infrared is invisible to the human eye. Infrared cameras are capable of capturing this infrared emission.
Thermal radiation is electromagnetic radiation generated by the thermal motion of charged particles in matter. All matter with a temperature greater than absolute zero emits thermal radiation. Particle motion results in charge-acceleration or dipole oscillation which produce electromagnetic radiation.
Examples of thermal radiation include the visible light and infrared light emitted by an incandescent light bulb, the infrared radiation emitted by animals that is detectable with an infrared camera, and the cosmic microwave background radiation. Thermal radiation is different from thermal convection and thermal conduction—a person near a raging bonfire feels radiant heating from the fire, even if the surrounding air is very cold.
Sunlight is part of thermal radiation generated by the hot plasma of the Sun. The Earth also emits thermal radiation, but at a much lower intensity and different spectral distribution. The Earth's absorption of solar radiation, followed by its outgoing thermal radiation, are the two most important processes that determine the temperature and climate of the Earth in most climate models.
So the correct answer which is applicable here will be
This formula applies to any object of total surface area a, kelvin temperature t, and emissivity e

Answer:
32s
Explanation:
We must establish that by the time the police car catches up to the speeder, both have travelled a certain distance during the same amount of time. However, the police car experiences accelerated motion whereas the speeder travels at a constant velocity. Therefore we will establish two formulas for distance starting with the speeder's distance:
and the police car distance:
Since they both travel the same distance x, we can equal both formulas and solve for t:
Two solutions exist to the equation; the first one being
The second solution will be:
This result allows us to confirm that the police car will take 32s to catch up to the speeder
Answer:
q₁ = + 1.25 nC
Explanation:
Theory of electrical forces
Because the particle q₃ is close to two other electrically charged particles, it will experience two electrical forces and the solution of the problem is of a vector nature.
Known data
q₃=5 nC
q₂=- 3 nC
d₁₃= 2 cm
d₂₃ = 4 cm
Graphic attached
The directions of the individual forces exerted by q1 and q₂ on q₃ are shown in the attached figure.
For the net force on q3 to be zero F₁₃ and F₂₃ must have the same magnitude and opposite direction, So, the charge q₁ must be positive(q₁+).
The force (F₁₃) of q₁ on q₃ is repulsive because the charges have equal signs ,then. F₁₃ is directed to the left (-x).
The force (F₂₃) of q₂ on q₃ is attractive because the charges have opposite signs. F₂₃ is directed to the right (+x)
Calculation of q1
F₁₃ = F₂₃
We divide by (k * q3) on both sides of the equation
q₁ = + 1.25 nC
