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!!!

My mass is 65 kg and on Earth this equals a weight of 640 N, but on the moon where gravity is 1.7 m/s² my
Helen [10]

Your weight on the moon given the data from the question is 110.5 N

<h3>Definition of mass and weight </h3>

Mass is simply defined as the quantity of matter present in an object. The mass of an object is constant irrespective of the location of the object.

Weight is simply defined as the gravitational pull on an object. The weight of an object varies from place to place due to gravity.

<h3>Relationship between mass and weight </h3>

Mass and weight are related according to the following equation

Weight (W) = mass (m) × Acceleration due to gravity (g)

<h3>How to determine the weight on the moon</h3>
  • Mass (m) = 65 Kg
  • Acceleration due to gravity on the moon (g) = 1.7 m/s²
  • Weight (W) =?

W = mg

W = 65 × 1.7

W = 110.5 N

How is it technically correct to say that a car making a u-turn can have a constant speed but cannot have a constant velocity?
saw5 [17]

During the "U" part of the turn, the car would follow an approximately circular path, and if it's moving at a constant speed, it would have to accelerate toward the center of the circle in order to change its direction.

A 91.0-kg hockey player is skating on ice at 5.50 m/s. another hockey player of equal mass, moving at 8.1 m/s in the
never [62]

The momentum before the collision velocity after the collision will be 1237.6 kg m/s² and 6.8 m/sec.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of momentum?</h3>

According to the law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the body before the collision is always equal to the momentum of the body after the collision.

The given data in the problem is;

(m₁) is the mass of hockey player 1= 91.0-kg

(m₂) is the mass of hockey player 2=  91.0-kg

(u₁) is the velocity before collision of hockey player 1 = 5.50 m/s.

(u₂) is the velocity before the collision of hockey player 2=?

a)

Momentum before the collision;

\rm  m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 \\\\ 91.0 \times 5.50 + 91.0 \times 8.1 \\\\ 1237.6 kg m/s^2

Momentum before the collision = 1237.6 kg m/s².

b)

The velocity of the two hockey players after the collision from the law of conservation of the momentum as:

Momentum before collision = Momentum after the collision

1237.6 kg m/s² = (m₁+m₂)V

1237.6 kg m/s² =(2 ×91.0-kg )V

V=6.8 m/sec.

Hence, momentum before the collision velocity after the collision will be 1237.6 kg m/s² and 6.8 m/sec.

17. A volleyball weighs about 300 grams.
atroni [7]

Answer:

PE = 44.1 J

Explanation:

Ok, to have the specific data, the first thing we must do is convert from grams to kilograms. Since mass must always be in kilograms (kg)

We have:

  • 1 kilograms = 1000 grams.

We convert it using a rule of 3, replacing, simplifying units and solving:

  • \boxed{\bold{x=\frac{gr*1\ kg}{1000\ gr}=\frac{300\ gr*1\ kg}{1000\ gr}=\frac{300\ kg}{1000}=\boxed{\bold{0.3\ kg}}}}

==================================================================

Earth's gravity is known to be 9.8 m/s², so we have:

Data:

  • m = 0.3 kg
  • g = 9.8 m/s²
  • h = 15 m
  • PE = ?

Use formula of potencial energy:

  • \boxed{\bold{PE=m*g*h}}

Replace and solve:

  • \boxed{\bold{PE=0.3\ kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*15\ m}}
  • \boxed{\boxed{\bold{PE=44.1\ J}}}

Since the decimal number, that is, the number after the comma is less than 5, it cannot be rounded, then we have this result.

The potential energy of the volleyball is <u>44.1 Joules.</u>

Greetings.
