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}

The equation P^xV^yT^z= constant is Boyle law for what is the values of x,y,z​
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

x = 1, y = 1 and z = 0

Explanation:

Given equation;

P^x V^y T^z = constant

Boyle's law states that at constant temperature, the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

Mathematically the law is written as;

PV = constant

From the given equation, the values of x, y and z that will match this law is calculated as follows;

P^1 V^1 T^0 = constant\\\\P^1 = P\\\\V^1 = V\\\\T^0 = 1\\\\P \times V \times 1 = PV = constant\\\\Thus, x = 1, \ y = 1 \ \ and \ z = 0

Lana wanted to do an investigation to see what kind of birdseed the birds in her neighborhood like best. She purchased three of
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The level of seed in each feeder

Explanation:

The independent variable is the variable which is the suspected cause of an observation, it is the variable that produce the effect observed in the dependent variable. The dependent variable is the variable that is measured

The independent variable is normally the x-value while the dependent variable is the y-value

In the question, Lana wants to find out the kind of birdseed that the neighborhood birds like (to eat) the most by feeding them different types of birdseed and measuring the level of the birdseed in the feeders at regular intervals

the independent variable is the bird seed types which Lana gives to the birds, to determine the type of bird seeds the birds like

The dependent variable is the level of the seed in the feeder which depends on the type of seeds the birds like.

Flura [38]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

The current trend in operations is accurately captured by Rapid Product Development.

This concept in an organization describes  a process in development which is quite fast and progressive.

To achieve rapid Product Development, a combination of integration of various innovative and creative prototyping techniques including latest Computer supportive operative tools, i.e., CSCW are used.

These tools are incorporated into the process of Research and Development in an organization in order to develop products by optimization of quality, price and time.
