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 total charge of 4.70 is distributed on two metal spheres. When the spheres are 10 cm apart, they each feel a repulsive force o
Anna35 [415]

Answer:0.114 C

Explanation:

Given

Total 4.7 C is distributed in two spheres

Let q_1 and q_2 be the charges such that

q_1+q_2=4.7

and Force between charge particles is given by

F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

4.7\times 10^11=\frac{9\times 10^9\times q_1\cdot q_2}{0.1^2}

q_1\cdot q_2=0.522

put the value of q_1

q_2\left ( 4.7-q_2\right )=0.522

q_2^2-4.7q_2+0.522=0

q_2=\frac{4.7\pm \sqrt{4.7^2-4\times 1\times 0.522}}{2}

q_2=0.114 C

thus q_1=4.586 C

Will mark as brainliest if correct!!!!!!!!
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Light refracts when its speed changes as it enters a new medium.

Explanation:

Bending of light wave while it entering a medium with different speed is called refraction of light. Light passing from a faster medium to the slower medium bends the light rays toward the normal to boundary between two media. The amount of the  bending of light depends on refractive index of the two media which is described by  the Snell's Law. The angle of incidence is not equal to  angle of refraction. Rainbow is caused but this refraction phenomena. Also Refraction is used in magnifying glasses, prism and lenses

It is generally seen that, when a substance absorbs heat energy, its heating curve shows two plateaus. Which phenomenon is indic
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is;

Change of phase.

Explanation:

When the physical state in which a substance exists in nature changes to another physical state such as a change from solid state to a liquid stat or from a liquid state to a gaseous state, the substance is said to have undergone a phase change, or phase transformation.

The state of a substance will change, depending on the surrounding temperature and the applied pressure and the energy required for the substance to change its state is known as latent heat.

The observed plateaus are periods the latent heat is absorbed to completely change the phase of the substance.

Whiat is quantum numbers describes the size and energy of an orbital?
Levart [38]

Answer:

The answer is the principal Quantum number (n)

Explanation:

The principal quantum number is one of the four quantum numbers associated with an atom.

It is denoted by a number n=1,2,3,4 etc

It tells both size (directly) and energy (indirectly) of an orbital.

When n=1 means it is the closest to the nucleus and is the smallest orbital and with increase in principal quantum number, it depicts that size of the orbital is increasing.

It tells the energy of the orbital as well as smaller number means less distance from nucleus and having less energy. Since electrons requires to absorb energy to jump into higher orbitals making n=2,3,4 etc. Thus electrons in the orbitals with higher n number indicates higher energy orbitals.
