Two particles are located on the x axis. particle 1 has a mass m and is at the origin. particle 2 has a mass 2m and is at x = +l

. a third particle is placed between particles 1 and 2. where on the x axis should the third particle be located so that the magnitude of the gravitational force on both particle 1 and particle 2 doubles? express your answer in terms of l.

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

<span>
The force on m is:</span>

<span>
GMm / x^2 + Gm(2m) / L^2 = 2[Gm (2m) / L^2] -> 1

The force on 2m is:</span>

<span>
GM(2m) / (L - x)^2 + Gm(2m) / L^2 = 2[Gm (2m) / L^2] -> 2

From (1), you’ll get M = 2mx^2 / L^2 and from (2) you get M = m(L - x)^2 / L^2 

Since the Ms are the same, then 

2mx^2 / L^2 = m(L - x)^2 / L^2 

2x^2 = (L - x)^2 

xsqrt2 = L - x 

x(1 + sqrt2) = L 

x = L / (sqrt2 + 1) From here, we rationalize. 

x = L(sqrt2 - 1) / (sqrt2 + 1)(sqrt2 - 1) 

x = L(sqrt2 - 1) / (2 - 1) 


x = L(sqrt2 - 1) </span>

 

= 0.414L

 

<span>Therefore, the third particle should be located the 0.414L x axis so that the magnitude of the gravitational force on both particle 1 and particle 2 doubles.</span>

Sound will travel slowest through which medium?
SSSSS [86.1K]

The speed of sound depends on the medium in which it is transported.

Sound travels fastest through solids, slower through liquids and slowest through gases. 

So it will travel slowest through water at 55 degrees

The total negative charge on the electrons in 1mol of helium (atomic number 2, molar mass 4) is ________?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

1.92\times 10^5 C

Explanation:

We are given that

Atomic number=2

We have to find the total negative charge on the electrons in one mole of Helium.

We know that atomic number=Proton number

Proton number=Number of electrons=2

Number of electrons in Helium=2

1 mole of Helium=6.02\times 10^{23} atoms

We know that q=ne

Where n =Number of fundamental units

e=Charge on electron

1 e=1.6\times 10^{-19}C

Using the formula

q=2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}=3.2\times 10^{-19}C

Total negative charge in 1 mole=3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 6.02\times 10^{23}=1.92\times 10^5C

Hence, the total negative charge on the electrons in 1 mole of Helium=1.92\times 10^5 C

A bus starts from rest.if the acceleration is 2m/s square, find
MrMuchimi

Answer:

The velocity after 2 seconds can be found through:

V = u +a*t

Where V is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

V = 0 + 2* 2= 4 meters/second

The distance (s) can be found through:

V^2= u^2 +2*a* s

Where V is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration.

4^2= 0^2 + 2 *2*s

16= 0 + 4s

s= 4 meters

Distance (s) can also be found through:

s= ut + 1/2 at^2

s= 0+ 1/2 *2*2^2= 1 *2*2

s= 4 meters
