Answer:
Explanation:
The unknown charge can not remain in between the charge given because force on the middle charge will act in the same direction due to both the remaining charges.
So the unknown charge is somewhere on negative side of x axis . Its charge will be negative . Let it be - Q and let it be at distance - x on x axis.
force on it due to rest of the charges will be equal and opposite so
k3q Q / x² =k 8q Q / (L+x)²
8x² = 3 (L+x)²
2√2 x = √3 (L+x)
2√2 x - √3 x = √3 L
x(2√2 - √3 ) = √3 L
x = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )
Let us consider the balancing force on 3q
force on it due to -Q and -8q will be equal
kQ . 3q / x² = k3q 8q / L²
Q = 8q (x² / L²)
so charge required = - 8q (x² / L²)
and its distance from x on negative x side = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )
Work = force * distance
and newton*meters = Joule
In this case, work = 250N*50m = 12500 J
So the answer is D) 12,500 J
To stop instantly, you would need infinite deceleration. This in turn, requires infinite force, as demonstrable with this equation:F=ma<span>So when you hit a wall, you do not instantly stop (e.g. the trunk of the car will still move because the car is getting crushed). In a case of a change in momentum, </span><span><span>m<span>v⃗ </span></span><span>m<span>v→</span></span></span>, we can use the following equation to calculate force:F=p/h<span>However, because the force is nowhere close to infinity, time will never tend to zero either, which means that you cannot come to an instantaneous stop.</span>
