Answer:

Ep= 3.8 10⁵ N/C

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

The electric field at a point P due to a point charge is calculated as follows:

E = k*q/d²

E: Electric field in N/C

q: charge in Newtons (N)

k: electric constant in N*m²/C²

d: distance from charge q to point P in meters (m)

Equivalence

1nC= 10⁻⁹C

1cm= 10⁻²m

Data

k= 9*10⁹ N*m²/C²

q₁ =+7.5 nC = +7.5*10⁻⁹C  

q₂ =  -2.0 nC = -2.0*10⁻⁹C

d₁ =d₂ = 1.5cm = 1.5 *10⁻²m  = 0.015 m

Calculation of the electric fieldsat the midpoint (P) between the two charges

Look at the attached graphic:

E₁: Electric Field at point ;Due to charge q₁. As the charge q₁ is positive negative (q₁+), the field leaves the charge .

E₂: Electric Field at point : Due to charge q₂. As the charge q₂ is negative (q₂-) ,the field enters the charge

E₁ = k*q₁/d₁² = 9*10⁹ *7.5  *10⁻⁹/ ( 0.015 )² = 3*10⁵ N/C

E₂ = k*q₂/d₂²= 9*10⁹ *2*10⁻⁹/( 0.015 )² = 0.8*10⁵ N/C

The electric field at a point P due to several point charges is the vector sum of the electric field due to individual charges.

Ep= E₁ + E₂  

Ep= 3*10⁵ N/C +  0.8*10⁵ N/C

Ep= 3.8 10⁵ N/C

Compute the dot product of the vectors u and v​, and find the angle between the vectors. Bold v equals 7 Bold i minus Bold j and
OLga [1]

Answer:

\theta = 106.3 degree

Explanation:

As we know that

\vec w = -\hat i + 7\hat j

\vec v = 7\hat i - \hat j

also we know that

\vec v. \vec w = -14

it is given as

\vec v. \vec w = (-\hat i + 7\hat j).(7\hat i - \hat j)

\vec v. \vec w = - 7 - 7 = -14

also we can find the magnitude of two vectors as

|v| = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (7)^2}

|v| = \sqrt{50}

similarly we have

|w| = \sqrt{(7^2) + (-1)^2}

|w| = \sqrt{50}

now we know the formula of dot product as

\vec v. \vec w = |v||w| cos\theta

-14 = (\sqrt{50})^2cos\theta

\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{-14}{50})

\theta = 106.3 degree

Russia shut off the nord stream pipeline that supplies which nation with natural gas?.
Katyanochek1 [597]

Russia shut off the Nord Stream pipeline that supplies natural gas to Germany.

What is the Nord Stream pipeline?

A pair of offshore natural gas pipeline systems in Europe called Nord Stream cross the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany. It consists of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines, both of which originate in northwest Russia, near Finland, in Vyborg and Ust-Luga, respectively. Both pipelines travel to Lubmin in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state of northeastern Germany.

Due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, certification for Nord Stream 2 has been rejected. When referring to a larger network of pipelines, such as the feeding onshore pipeline in Russia and additional connections in Western Europe, the term "Nord Stream" is sometimes used.

Nord Stream joins the NEL pipeline to Rehden near Bremen in northwestern Germany and the OPAL pipeline to Olbernhau in eastern Germany at the Czech border in Lubmin.

Thus, the Nord Stream pipeline supplies natural gas to Germany.
