Answer:

The points where the electric field due to the two charges are 0 include

x = 4.54 cm and x = 2.24 cm.

Explanation:

For a positive charge, the electric field is directed outward from the charge,

For a negative charge, it is directed towards it.

Since the positive charge is at the origin, the, and the negative charge is at p = 3cm on the x-axis, let the point where the electric field is 0 be x.

For ease of calculation, we will be looking for x, along the positive x-axis in between the two charges.

Electric field at a point due to a particular charge is given as

E = (kq/r²)

k = Coulomb's constant = (9.0 × 10⁹) Nm²/C²

r = distance of the point from the charge.

q = the charge

q₁ = 30.5 nC = (30.5 × 10⁻⁹) C

q₂ = -3.5 nC = (3.5 × 10⁻⁹) C

For the positive charge

E₁ = (kq₁)/x²

= (9.0 × 10⁹ × 30.5 × 10⁻⁹)/x²

E₁ = (274.5/x²) (eqn 1)

For the negative charge

E₂ = [kq₂/(x-0.03)²]

E₂ = 31.5/(x-0.03)²

E₁ + E₂ = 0

(274.5/x²) - [31.5/(x-0.03)²] = 0 (with the assumption that the point is to the right of both charges)

(274.5/x²) =-[31.5/(x-0.03)²]

274.5 (x-0.03)² = 31.5x²

274.5 (x² - 0.06x + 0.0009) = 31.5x²

274.5x² - 16.47x + 0.24705 = 31.5x²

243x² - 16.47x + 0.24705 = 0

Solving this equation

x = 0.0454 m or x = 0.0224 m

So, the points where the electric field due to the two charges are 0 include

x = 4.54 cm and x = 2.24 cm.

Hope this Helps!!!

Which, if any, of the following statements about electric field lines is/are true? A.The electric field is always perpendicular
jonny [76]
The electric field is always perpendicular to the surface outside of a conductor. TRUE

<span> If an electron were placed on an electric field line, it would move in a direction perpendicular to the field. FALSE, it would move in an anti-parallel direction because its charge is negative </span>
 
<span>Electric field lines originate on positive charge and terminate on negative charge. TRUE ; but they can also go to infinity </span>
 
It is possible for two electric field lines to cross each other.
<span> Usually FALSE; though technically possible at special points where field is zero. </span>
 
If an electron and a positron were in the presence of a very strong electric field, they would move away from each other.
<span> TRUE; one is positive, and one is negative. If the field is strong enough, the action of the field will overcome the mutual attraction between them </span>
 
It is not possible for the electric field to ever be zero. FALSE: it IS possible, inside a conductor for instance
   
If a proton were placed on an electric field line, it would move in a direction anti-parallel to the field.
<span> FALSE: being positive, it would move in the SAME direction as the field</span>ic

A tennis ball is shot vertically upward in an evacuated chamber inside a tower with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s at time t=0s. W
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

at the highest point of the path the acceleration of ball is same as acceleration due to gravity

Explanation:

At the highest point of the path of the ball the speed of the ball becomes zero as the acceleration due to gravity will decelerate the motion of ball due to which the speed of ball will keep on decreasing and finally it comes to rest

So here we will say that at the highest point of the path the speed of the ball comes to zero

now by the force diagram we can say that net force on the ball due to gravity is given by

F_g = mg

now the acceleration of ball is given as

a = \frac{F_g}{m}

a = \frac{mg}{m} = g

so at the highest point of the path the acceleration of ball is same as acceleration due to gravity
