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.

what is the acceleration of an object that moves at a constant velocity of 2.0 meters per second for 5 seconds?
nexus9112 [7]
Constant velocity means moving in a straight line at a speed that doesn't change. If the object is moving with constant velocity then its acceleration is zero. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity is changing.

inessss [21]

Answer:

t=0.193s

Explanation:

What is said is that the meter fell d=18.3cm=0.183m under the action of gravity. We can use the formula for accelerated motion:

d=v_0t+\frac{at^2}{2}

Since it departed from rest it will mean that:

d=\frac{at^2}{2}

So our time will be:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}

Which for our values is:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.183m)}{(9.81m/s^2)}}=0.193s
