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.

A launched hopper reach to 1.20 m maximum height. How much is it’s launch velocity?
garri49 [273]

The launch velocity is 4.8 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying the law of conservation of energy. In fact, the mechanical energy of the hopper (equal to the sum of the potential energy + the kinetic energy) is conserved. So we can write:

U_i +K_i = U_f + K_f

where:

U_i is the initial potential energy, at the bottom

K_i is the initial kinetic energy, at the bottom

U_f is the final potential energy, at the top

K_f is the final kinetic energy, at the top

We can rewrite the equation as:

mgh_i + \frac{1}{2}mu^2 = mgh_f + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where:

m is the mass of the hopper

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h_i = 0 is the initial height

u is the launch speed of the hopper

h_f = 1.20 m is the maximum altitude reached by the hopper

v = 0 is the final speed (which is zero when the hopper reaches the maximum height)

Solving the equation for u, we find the launch speed of the hopper:

u=\sqrt{2gh_g}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(1.20)}=4.8 m/s

Two forces of 83 pounds and 56 pounds act simultaneously on an object. The resultant forms an angle of 52° with the 56-pound for
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

95.9°

Explanation:

The diagram illustrating the action of the two forces on the object is given in the attached photo.

Using sine rule a/SineA = b/SineB, we can obtain the value of B° as shown in the attached photo as follow:

a/SineA = b/SineB,

83/Sine52 = 56/SineB

Cross multiply to express in linear form

83 x SineB = 56 x Sine52

Divide both side by 83

SineB = (56 x Sine52)/83

SineB = 0.5317

B = Sine^-1(0.5317)

B = 32.1°

Now, we can obtain the angle θ, between the two forces as shown in the attached photo as follow:

52° + B° + θ = 180° ( sum of angles in a triangle)

52° + 32.1° + θ = 180°

Collect like terms

θ = 180° - 52° - 32.1°

θ = 95.9°

Therefore, the angle between the two forces is 95.9°

How could you use the microscopes from this activity to determine
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The magnification is a function of the lenses in the objective and the eyepiece, so the magnification of the two must be multiplied to obtain the total magnification possible. So, for example, if the objective lens was 4X and the eye piece lens was 10X, the total magnification would be 40. (4 x 10 = 40)
