Answer:
So Tammy must move with speed 4.76 m/s in opposite direction of Jackson
Explanation:
As per law of conservation of momentum we know that there is no external force on it
So here we can say that initial momentum of the system must be equal to the final momentum of the system
now we have

final they both comes to rest so here we can say that final momentum must be zero
now we have


I thinks it’s 2...........
Answer:
Explanation:
Let the equilibrium position of third charge be x distance from q₁.
Force on third charge due to q₁
= 9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ / x²
Force on third charge due to q₂
= 9 x 10⁹ x 2 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ /( .40-x)²
Both the force will act in opposite direction and for balancing , they should be equal.
9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ / x² = 9 x 10⁹ x 2 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ /( .40-x)²
5 / x² = 2 / ( .4 - x )²
Taking square root on both sides
2.236 / x = 1.414 / .4 - x
2.236 ( .4 - x ) = 1.414 x
.8944 - 2.236 x = 1.414 x
.8944 = 3.65 x
x = .245 m
24.5 cm
So the third charge should be at a distance of 24.5 cm from q₁ .
