Alfred Wegener believed that all of the continents were originally attached! By looking at the map, you can see that Africa and South America look like they were once joined. This 'super continent' was known as Pangaea. He also found fossils that proved his point.
Hope this helps :)

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Q_2 = +/- 295.75*Q

Explanation:

Given:

- The charge of the first particle Q_1 = +Q

- The second charge = Q_2

- The position of first charge x_1 = 2a

- The position of the second charge x_2 = 13a

- The net Electric Field produced at origin is E_net = 2kQ / a^2

Find:

Explain how many values are possible for the unknown charge and find the possible values.

Solution:

- The Electric Field due to a charge is given by:

E = k*Q / r^2

Where, k: Coulomb's Constant

Q: The charge of particle

r: The distance from source

- The Electric Field due to charge 1:

E_1 = k*Q_1 / r^2

E_1 = k*Q / (2*a)^2

E_1 = k*Q / 4*a^2

- The Electric Field due to charge 2:

E_2 = k*Q_2 / r^2

E_2 = k*Q_2 / (13*a)^2

E_2 = +/- k*Q_2 / 169*a^2

- The two possible values of charge Q_2 can either be + or -. The Net Electric Field can be given as:

E_net = E_1 + E_2

2kQ / a^2 = k*Q_1 / 4*a^2 +/- k*Q_2 / 169*a^2

- The two equations are as follows:

1: 2kQ / a^2 = k*Q / 4*a^2 + k*Q_2 / 169*a^2

2Q = Q / 4 + Q_2 / 169

Q_2 = 295.75*Q

2: 2kQ / a^2 = k*Q / 4*a^2 - k*Q_2 / 169*a^2

2Q = Q / 4 - Q_2 / 169

Q_2 = -295.75*Q

- The two possible values corresponds to positive and negative charge Q_2.

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

T’= 4/3 T

The new tension is 4/3 = 1.33 of the previous tension the answer e

Explanation:

For this problem let's use Newton's second law applied to each body

Body A

X axis

T = m_A a

Axis y

N- W_A = 0

Body B

Vertical axis

W_B - T = m_B a

In the reference system we have selected the direction to the right as positive, therefore the downward movement is also positive. The acceleration of the two bodies must be the same so that the rope cannot tension

We write the equations

T = m_A a

W_B –T = M_B a

We solve this system of equations

m_B g = (m_A + m_B) a

a = m_B / (m_A + m_B) g

In this initial case

m_A = M

m_B = M

a = M / (1 + 1) M g

a = ½ g

Let's find the tension

T = m_A a

T = M ½ g

T = ½ M g

Now we change the mass of the second block

m_B = 2M

a = 2M / (1 + 2) M g

a = 2/3 g

We seek tension for this case

T’= m_A a

T’= M 2/3 g

Let's look for the relationship between the tensions of the two cases

T’/ T = 2/3 M g / (½ M g)

T’/ T = 4/3

T’= 4/3 T

The new tension is 4/3 = 1.33 of the previous tension the answer e
