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}

How can you increase the force required to move an object without changing the mass of the object?
Effectus [21]

To increase the force required to move an object without change mass is : To increase the acceleration of the object

<h3>Force acting on an object </h3>

Given that Force = Mass * acceleration

An increase in the acceleration of an object in motion will result in a proportional increase in the Force required to move the object becasue force of an object is directly proportional to the acceleration of an object.

Hence we can conclude that To increase the force required to move an object without change mass is To increase the acceleration of the object.

An open system is a system where __________.
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Can enter or leave the system matter and energy. (The correct option is D)

Explanation:

Open system is defined as the system where exchange of matter, and energy occurs with its surrounding, presenting breaking down, and build up of its materials, and import, export of components.

Open system transfer the material into, and out of the system boundary, it contains an external interaction. A good example of open system is living things they actively connect with its environment, in results it shows changes in both the environment, and the living things.

So, the correct option is D.
