Two point charges of +2.0 μC and -6.0 μC are located on the x-axis at x = -1.0 cm and x 12) = +2.0 cm respectively. Where should

a third charge of +3.0-μC be placed on the +x-axis so that the potential at the origin is equal to zero?

Answer:

 x = 0.006 m

Explanation:

The potential at one point is given by

          V = k ∑ q_{i} / r_{i}

remember that the potential is to scale, let's apply to our case

          V = k (q₁ / x₁ + q₂ / x₂ + q₃ / x)

in this case they indicate that the potential is zero

          0 = k (2 10⁻⁶ / (- 1 10⁻²) + (-6 10⁻⁶) / 2 10⁻² + ​​3 10⁻⁶ / x)

         3 / x = + 2 / 10⁻² + ​​3 / 10⁻²

         3 / x = 500

          x = 3/500

          x = 0.006 m

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The velocity is   v =0.333 \  m/s in positive x -direction

The speed is s = 0.733 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance from the house to truck is  D =  20 m

  The distance traveled back to retrieve  wind-blown hat is  d =  15

  The distance from the wind-blown hat position too the truck is  k =  20  m

  The total time taken is  t  =  75 s

Generally when calculating the displacement the Justin's backward movement to collect his wind - blown hat is taken as negative

Generally Justin's displacement is mathematically represented as

      L  =  20 - 15 + 20

=>    L  =  25 \ m

Generally the average velocity is mathematically represented as

          v  =  \frac{L}{t}

=>      v = \frac{25}{75}

=>      v =0.333 \  m/s

Generally the distance covered by Justin is mathematically represented as  

         R =  D+ d + k

=>      R =  20 + 15 +20

=>     R =  55 \  m

Generally Justin's average speed over a 75 s period is mathematically represented as

            s = \frac{R}{ t}

=>         s = \frac{55}{ 75}

=>        s = 0.733 \ m/s

A large rocket has a mass of 2.00×10⁶ kg at takeoff, and its engines produce a thrust of 3.50×10⁷ N. Find its initial accelerati
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

17.5 m/s²

1.90476 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Force

F=ma\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{F}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{3.5\times 10^7}{2\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow a=17.5\ m/s^2

Initial acceleration of the rocket is 17.5 m/s²

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow \frac{120}{3.6}=0+17.5t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{\frac{120}{3.6}}{17.5}=1.90476\ s

Time taken by the rocket to reach 120 km/h is 1.90476 seconds

Change in the velocity of a rocket is given by the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation

\Delta v=v_{e}\ln \frac{m_0}{m_f}

where,

m_0 = Initial mass of rocket with fuel

m_f = Final mass of rocket without fuel

v_e = Exhaust gas velocity

Hence, the change in velocity increases as the mass decreases which changes the acceleration

On the planet Xenophous a 1.00 m long pendulum on a clock has a period of 1.32 s. What is the free fall acceleration on Xenophou
Vilka [71]
The period of the pendulum is given by the following equation

T = 2π * sqrt (L/g)

Where g is the gravity (free fall acceleration)

L is the longitude of the pendulum

T is the period.

We find g.............> (T /2π)^2 = L/g

g = L/(T /2π)^2...........> g = 22.657 m/s^2
