Answer:

electricfield at (0,0,0) is Et = 2 k q / a²

Explanation:

For the first part see the diagram , the field lines start from the positive charge and reach the negative charge, notice that no line should cross, some lines go to infinity

For the second part we use that the electric field is a vector quantity and therefore we add the field of each charge, using the equation

     E = k q / r²

Point (0,0,0)

We calculate for the charge -q which is at a distance R = a

   E1 = k (-q) / a²

   E1 = - kq / a²

As the test charge is positive in the field it goes to the left, attractive force

We calculate for the charge that is also at R = a

    E2 = k q / a²

This field goes to the left, repulsive force

We find the total electric field

    Et = E1 + E2

    Et = kq / a² + kq / a²

    Et = 2 k q / a²

Point (0,0, R)

We use the same equations, but with another distance, for the charge -q the distance is R = R+a and for the charge + q the distance is R = R-a

     E1 = k q / (R + a)²

     E2 = kq / (R-a)²

     Et = kq [1 / (R + a)² + 1 / (R-a)²]

     Et= kq {[(R-a)² + (R + a)²] / [(R + a)² (R-a)²]}

     Et= kq {2 (R² + a²) / [(R + a)² (R-a)²]}

If we use the condition that  R> a we can despise in the patents "a"

     (R² + a²) = R² (1+ a² / R²) ≈ R²

     (R + a)² = R² (1 + a / R)² ≈ R²

     (R- a)²  = R² (1-a / R)² ≈ R²

Substituting in the total electric field

     Et = kq {2 R²) / [R²R²]}

     Et =kq 2 / R²

A positive charge is placed in an electric field that points west. What direction is the force on the positive particle? I think
Kisachek [45]

A small cube of metal measures 19.0 mm on a side and weighs 79.6 g. What is the density of the metal in g/cm3?
Nady [450]

Answer:

density of cube =11.605 g/cm³

Explanation:

density of a substance is the mass per unit volume of that substance.

the density of a substance = \frac{mass}{volume}

volume of a cube = l³,

l = 19.0mm , lets convert mm to cm

1mm = 0.1cm, thus, 19mm =19*0.1 =1.9cm

length of cube =1.9cm

volume of cube = 1.9³

density of cube = \frac{79.6}{1.9^{3} }

density of cube =11.605 g/cm³

A square wave has amplitude 0 V for the low voltage and 4 V for the high voltage. Calculate the average voltage by integrating o
Margarita [4]

Answer:

V_{average} = \frac{1}{2}  V_o  ,     V_{average} = 2 V

Explanation:

he average or effective voltage of a wave is the value of the wave in a period

            V_average = ∫ V dt

in this case the given volage is a square wave that can be described by the function

           V (t) = \left \{ {{V=V_o \ \ \  t<  \tau /2} \atop {V=0 \ \  \ \  t> \tau /2 }   } \right.

to substitute in the equation let us separate the into two pairs

             V_average = \int\limits^{1/2}_0 {V_o} \, dt + \int\limits^1_{1/2} {0} \, dt

             V_average = V_o \ \int\limits^{1/2}_0 {} \, dt

             V_{average} = \frac{1}{2}  V_o

we evaluate  V₀ = 4 V

             V_{average} = 4 / 2)

             V_{average} = 2 V

Describe the forces involved in Throwing a spear
Alexeev081 [22]

Explanation:

The center of gravity is near the grip and does not change during throw. "Throwing through the tip," a popular term of how to throw a javelin, means throwing through the grip or center of gravity. The center of pressure is the aerodynamic force of drag and lift on the javelin.
