Answer:

The test charge will move to the left side after being released.

Explanation:

Given that,

Test charge = q

First charge = Q

Second charge = 2Q

Distance of point charge from first charge = r

Distance of point charge from second charge = 2r

Let the charge Q placed at left side and charge 2Q placed at right side.

We need to calculate the force due to first charge

Using formula of force

F=\dfrac{kq_{1}q}{r^2}

Put the value into the formula

F=\dfrac{kQq}{r^2}...(I)

We need to calculate the force due to second charge

Using formula of force

F'=\dfrac{k2Qq}{4r^2}...(I)

Divided equation (I) by equation (II)

\dfrac{F}{F'}=\dfrac{\dfrac{kQq}{r^2}}{\dfrac{k2Qq}{4r^2}}

\dfrac{F}{F'}=\dfrac{1}{2}

F=\dfrac{1}{2}F'

Hence,The test charge will move to the left side after being released.

Answer:

B. to the right

Explanation:

Given:

  • test charge +q
  • distance of the test charge from +Q, r
  • distance of test charge from +2Q, 2r

<u>Force on the test charge due to +Q:</u>

F_1=k.\frac{Q.q}{r^2}

<u>Force on the test charge due to +Q:</u>

F_2=k.\frac{2Q.q}{(2r)^2}

F_2=k.\frac{Q.q}{2r^2}

Since all the charges are positive here, so they will try to repel the test charge away. And the force due to charge +Q will be greater so initially the test charge will move rightwards away from the +Q charge.

Answer:

c. 2 m/s

Explanation:

The relationship between speed, frequency and wavelength of a wave is given by:

v=f \lambda

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is its frequency

\lambda is the wavelength

For the transverse wave in this problem, we have:

f = 4 Hz is the frequency

\lambda=0.5 m is the wavelength

Substituting these numbers into the equation, we find the speed of the wave:

v=(4 Hz)(0.5 m)=2 m/s

Which of the following is a nonferromagnetic material? (a) aluminum (b) iron (c) cobalt (d) gadolinium
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Iron and gadlinium are both very easily made into magnetic substances.  Cobalt is also capable of being magnetized. Aluminum, put in an alloy, can make a magnetic substance, but

Aluminum by itself is not able to be magnetized.

Suppose I have a vector that is 7 units long and that makes an angle of +30 degrees from the positive x-axis. I want to add to t
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

sum of these two vectors is 6.06i+3.5j-3.5i+6.06j = 2.56i+9.56j

Explanation:

We have given first vector which has length of 7 units and makes an angle of 30° with positive x-axis

So x component of the vector =7cos30^{\circ}=7\times 0.866=6.06

y component of the vector =7sin30^{\circ}=7\times 0.5=3.5

So vector will be 6.06i+3.5j

Now other vector of length of 7 units and makes an angle of 120° with positive x-axis

So x component of vector  =7cos120^{\circ}=7\times -0.5=-3.5i

y component of the vector =7sin120^{\circ}=7\times 0.866=6.06j

Now sum of these two vectors is 6.06i+3.5j-3.5i+6.06j = 2.56i+9.56j

Josh starts his sled at the top of a 2.9-m-high hill that has a constant slope of 25∘. After reaching the bottom, he slides acro
algol13

Answer:

S=48.29 m

Explanation:

Given that the height of the hill h = 2.9 m

Coefficient of kinetic friction between his sled and the snow μ = 0.08

Let u be the speed of the skier at the bottom of the hill.

By applying conservation of energy at the top and bottom of the inclined plane we get.

Potential Energy=kinetic Energy

mgh = (1/2) mu²

u² = 2gh

u²=2(9.81)(2.9)

   =56.89

u=7.54 m/s

a = - f / m

a = - μ*m*g / m

a = - μg

From equation of motion

v²- u² = 2 -μ g S

v=0 m/s

-(7.54)²=-2(0.06)(9.81)S

S=48.29 m

Assume that the electric field E is equal to zero at a given point. Does it mean that the electric potential V must also be equa
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

  • No, this doesn't mean the electric potential equals zero.

Explanation:

In electrostatics, the electric field \vec{E} is related to the gradient of the electric potential V with :

\vec{E} (\vec{r}) = - \vec{\nabla} V (\vec{r})

This means that for constant electric potential the electric field must be zero:

V(\vec{r}) = k

\vec{E} (\vec{r}) = - \vec{\nabla} V (\vec{r}) = - \vec{\nabla} k

\vec{E} (\vec{r}) = -  (\frac{\partial}{\partial x} , \frac{\partial}{\partial y } , \frac{\partial}{\partial z}) k

\vec{E} (\vec{r}) = -  (\frac{\partial k}{\partial x} , \frac{\partial k}{\partial y } , \frac{\partial k}{\partial z})

\vec{E} (\vec{r}) = -  (0,0,0)

This is not the only case in which we would find an zero electric field, as, any scalar field with gradient zero will give an zero electric field. For example:

V(\vec{r})= (x+2)^2 (y+4)^3 (z+5)^4

give an electric field of zero at point (0,0,0)
