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!!!

Answer:

4.02 km/hr

Explanation:

5 km/hr = 1.39 m/s

The swimmer's speed relative to the ground must have the same direction as line AC.

The vertical component of the velocity is:

uᵧ = us cos 45

uᵧ = √2/2 us

The horizontal component of the velocity is:

uₓ = 1.39 − us sin 45

uₓ = 1.39 − √2/2 us

Writing a proportion:

uₓ / uᵧ = 121 / 159

(1.39 − √2/2 us) / (√2/2 us) = 121 / 159

Cross multiply and solve:

159 (1.39 − √2/2 us) = 121 (√2/2 us)

220.8 − 79.5√2 us = 60.5√2 us

220.8 = 140√2 us

us = 1.115

The swimmer's speed is 1.115 m/s, or 4.02 km/hr.

Water enters the constant 130-mm inside-diameter tubes of a boiler at 7 MPa and 65°C and leaves the tubes at 6 MPa and 450°C wit
snow_lady [41]

The inlet velocity is 1.4 m/s and inlet volume is 0.019 m³/s.

Explanation:

When water entering the tube of constant diameter flows through the tube, it exhibits continuity of mass in the hydrostatics. So the mass of water moving from the inlet to the outlet tend to be same, but the velocity may differ.

As per mass flow equality which states that the rate of flow of mass in the inlet is equal to the product of area of the tube with the velocity of the water and the density of the tube.

Since, the inlet volume flow is measured as the product of velocity with the area.

Inlet volume flow=Inlet velocity*Area*time

And the mass flow rate is  

Mass flow rate in the inlet=density*area*inlet velocity*time

Mass flow rate in the outlet=density*area*outlet velocity*time

Since, the time and area is constant, the inlet and outlet will be same as

(Mass inlet)/(density*inlet velocity)=Area*Time

(Mass outlet)/(density*outlet velocity)=Area*Time

As the ratio of mass to density is termed as specific volume, then  

(Specific volume inlet)/(Inlet velocity)=(Specific volume outlet)/(Outlet velocity)

Inlet velocity=  (Specific volume inlet)/(Specific volume outlet)*Outlet velocity

As, the specific volume of water at inlet is 0.001017 m³/kg and at outlet is 0.05217 m³/kg and the outlet velocity is given as 72 m/s, the inlet velocity

is

Inlet velocity = \frac{0.001017}{0.05217}*72 =1.4035 m/s

So, the inlet velocity is 1.4035 m/s.

Then the inlet volume will be

Inlet volume = inlet velocity*area of circle=\pi  r^{2}*inlet velocity

As the diameter of tube is 130 mm, then the radius is 65 mm and inlet velocity is 1.4 m/s

Inlet volume = 1.4*3.14*65*65*10^{-6} =0.019 \frac{m^{3} }{s}

So, the inlet volume is 0.019 m³/s.

Thus, the inlet velocity is 1.4 m/s and inlet volume is 0.019 m³/s.
