Answer:

The distance from charge 5 μ C = 26.45 cm and the distance from - 4 μ C is 23.55 cm.

Explanation:

Given that

q₁ = 5 μ C

q₂ = - 4 μ C

The distance between charges = 50 cm

d= 50 cm

Lets take at distance x from the charge μ C ,the electrical field is zero.

That is why the distance from the charge - 4 μ C =  50 - x cm

We know that ,electric field is given as

E=K\dfrac{q}{r^2}

K\dfrac{5\ \mu}{x^2}=K\dfrac{4\mu }{(50-x)^2}\\\\\dfrac{5}{x^2}=\dfrac{4 }{(50-x)^2}\\\\\\5(50-x)^2=4x^2\\(50-x)^2=0.8x^2\\\\50-x =0.89x\\\ x=\dfrac{50}{1.89}\ cm\\\\\\x=26.45\ cm\\

Therefore the distance from charge 5 μ C = 26.45 cm and the distance from - 4 μ C is 23.55 cm.

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram for each disc.

Disc A has three forces acting on it: 86.5 N up, T₁ down, and Wa down.

∑F = ma

86.5 N − T₁ − Wa = 0

Wa = 86.5 N − T₁

ma × 9.8 m/s² = 86.5 N − 55.6 N

ma = 3.2 kg

Disc B has three forces acting on it: T₁ up, T₂ down, and Wb down.

∑F = ma

T₁ − T₂ − Wb = 0

Wb = T₁ − T₂

mb × 9.8 m/s² = 55.6 N − 36.5 N

mb = 1.9 kg

Disc C has three forces acting on it: T₂ up, T₃ down, and Wc down.

∑F = ma

T₂ − T₃ − Wc = 0

Wc = T₂ − T₃

mc × 9.8 m/s² = 36.5 N − 9.6 N

mc = 2.7 kg

Disc D has two forces acting on it: T₃ up and Wd down.

∑F = ma

T₃ − Wd = 0

Wd = T₃

md × 9.8 m/s² = 9.6 N

md = 0.98 kg

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

when the mass of the bottle is 0.125 kg, the average height of the beanbag is 0.35 m.

when the mass of the bottle is 0.250 kg, the average maximum height of the beanbag is 0.91m.

when the mass of the bottle is 0.375 kg, the average maximum height of the beanbag is 1.26m.

when the mass of the bottle is 0.500 kg, the average maximum height of the beanbag is 1.57m.

Two identical waves are traveling toward each other in the same medium. One has a positive amplitude, meaning that its peaks onl
Olin [163]
The correct answer is Destructive Interference.

Consider the image attached below. Two waves are travelling towards each other. Blue wave always has a positive peak and the red wave always has a negative peak.

Now imagine these waves are moving through a rope. If blue waves will try to move the rope in positive direction, the red wave will pull it down, and thus the two waves will cancel the effect of each other. Thus resulting in a destructive interference.
