Answer:

x = a + \frac{a\sqrt2}{\sqrt3 - \sqrt2}

Explanation:

Position of charge 3q is x = 0

position of charge -2q is x = a

so here we know that

when two charges are of opposite nature then the electric field will be zero on the line joining the two charges at the position near to smaller magnitude charge

So here the electric field will be zero if the field due to 3q is counterbalanced by field due to -2q

so here we can say

\frac{k(3q)}{(r+a)^2} + \frac{k(-2q)}{r^2} = 0

\frac{3}{(r + a)^2} = \frac{2}{r^2}

\frac{r+a}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}

1 + \frac{a}{r} =\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}

\frac{a}{r} = \frac{\sqrt3 - \sqrt2}{\sqrt2}

so we will have

r = \frac{a\sqrt2}{\sqrt3 - \sqrt2}

so the x coordinate of this position is given as

x = a + \frac{a\sqrt2}{\sqrt3 - \sqrt2}

A simple harmonic oscillator completes 1550 cycles in 30 min. (a) Calculate the period. s (b) Calculate the frequency of the mot
nordsb [41]

Answer:

(a) 1.16 s

(b)0.861 Hz

Explanation:

(a) Period : The period of a simple harmonic motion is the time in seconds, required for a object undergoing oscillation to complete one cycle.

From the question,

If 1550 cycles is completed in (30×60) seconds,

1 cycle is completed in x seconds

x = 30×60/1550

x = 1.16 s

Hence the period is 1.16 seconds.

(b) Frequency : This can be defined as the number of cycles that is completed in one seconds, by an oscillating body. The S.I unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz).

Mathematically, Frequency is given as

F = 1/T ........................... Equation 1

Where F = frequency, T = period.

Given: T = 1.16 s.

Substitute into equation 1

F = 1/1.16

F = 0.862 Hz

Hence thee frequency = 0.862 Hz

What's the formula for efficiency?​
Neko [114]

Answer:

r=P/C, where P is the amount of useful output ("product") produced per the amount C ("cost") of resources consumed.

Explanation:

Efficiency is often measured as the ratio of useful output to total input, which can be expressed with the mathematical formula r=P/C, where P is the amount of useful output ("product") produced per the amount C ("cost") of resources consumed.
