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!!!

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

N = 26.59 N

Explanation:

given,

mass = 0.38 kg

radius of the hoop = 1.10 m

speed = 5.35 m/s

force = ?

now,

\dfrac{1}{2}mv_t^2 + mg(2R) = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 + mgR(1-cos \theta)

mv^2 = mv_t^2 + 2mgR(1 + cos \theta)

we know that,

N - mgcos \theta = \dfrac{mv^2}{R}

N - mgcos \theta = \dfrac{mv_t^2 + 2mgR(1 + cos \theta)}{R}

N - mgcos \theta = \dfrac{mv_t^2 }{R}+ 2mg(1 + cos \theta)

N  = \dfrac{mv_t^2 }{R}+ 2mg + 3mgcos \theta)

N  = \dfrac{0.38\times 5.35^2 }{1.1}+ 2\times 0.38\times 9.8 + 3\times 0.38 \times 9.8 cos 34^0)

N = 26.59 N

HELP PLEASE BOYLES LAW
kogti [31]

Answer:

3 L

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial volume (V₁) = 2 L

Initial pressure (P₁) = 0.75 atm

Final pressure (P₂) = 0.5 atm

Final volume (V₂) =?

Using the Boyle's law equation, the new volume (i.e final volume) of the Ne gas can be obtained as:

Initial volume (V₁) = 2 L

Initial pressure (P₁) = 0.75 atm

Final pressure (P₂) = 0.5 atm

Final volume (V₂) =?

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

0.75 × 2 = 0.5 × V₂

1.5 = 0.5 × V₂

Divide both side by 0.5

V₂ = 1.5 / 0.5

V₂ = 3 L

Thus, the new volume of the Ne gas is 3 L

Which occurs when a wave is reflected?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: The wave can flip upside down.

Reflection is the bending of a wave when it cannot pass through. For example, plain mirrors which are flat, a ray of light hits the mirror and is reflected from the mirror since it cannot pass through  

When reflection occurs the speed and frequency of the wave does not change but the wave is flipped upside down.

The speed does not change because speed is affected by the change in medium the frequency also remains the same since the energy of the wave does not change.
