Two point charges lie on the x axis. A charge of + 2.30 pC is at the origin, and a charge of − 4.50 pC is at x=−11.0cm.
Radda [10]

r₁ = distance of point A from charge q₁ = 0.13 m

r₂ = distance of point A from charge q₂ = 0.24 m

r₃ = distance of point A from charge q₃ = 0.13 m

Electric field by charge q₁ at A is given as

E₁ = k q₁ /r₁² = (9 x 10⁹) (2.30 x 10⁻¹²)/(0.13)² = 1.225 N/C     towards right

Electric field by charge q₂ at A is given as

E₂ = k q₂ /r₂² = (9 x 10⁹) (4.50 x 10⁻¹²)/(0.24)² = 0.703 N/C    towards left

Since the electric field in left direction is smaller, hence the electric field by the third charge must be in left direction

Electric field at A will be zero when

E₁ = E₂ + E₃

1.225 = 0.703 + E₃

E₃ = 0.522 N/C

Electric field by charge "q₃" is given as

E₃ = k q₃ /r₃²

0.522 = (9 x 10⁹) q₃/(0.13)²

q₃ = 0.980 x 10⁻¹² C = 0.980 pC

How can resistance be useful and where can they be useful?
sergiy2304 [10]
-- Resistance can be useful among the population of a repressive government.
Although it can be dangerous for those who resist, it can also exert pressure
against the regime to alter its repressive practices.

-- Resistance can also be useful in electronic circuits. "Lumped" components with
known numerical values of resistance are used to divide voltage, limit current, and
dissipate controlled amounts of electrical energy.

A block lies on a horizontal frictionless surface and
zhenek [66]

Answer:

0.1 m

Explanation:

F = Force exerted on spring = 3 N

k = Spring constant = 60 N/m

x = Displacement of the block

As the energy of the system is conserved we have

Fx=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{2F}{k}

\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{2\times 3}{60}

\\\Rightarrow x=0.1\ m

The position of the block is 0.1 from the initial position.

compare the theories that scientists proposed about the source of the sun's energy with the process of nuclear fusion in the sun
ANTONII [103]
The sun's source of energy is know as nuclear fusion (means to fuse) this process has a small nuclei atoms that join together to form a large nucleus. The result of this process is released energy. The fusion of hydrogen into helium in the sun makes a large amount of energy and this is known as the sun's energy source.
The theories that scientist proposed about the source of the sun's energy was that the sun burned fuel to generate its energy and that gravity was causing the sun to shrink slowly and have its energy released. Also both of these theories were disproved.
