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

Answer:

C. turtles with genes for long necks had a better chance of surviving to reach reproductive age.

Explanation:

The turtles that had long necks were more fit to the environmnet in which they were lovated and were able to grow larger and have more reproductive time because of their ability to feed on grass and small shrubs, this helped them always haev food available, and made them the dominant gene eventually.

Describe how pieces of rope move as waves pass
MaRussiya [10]
Well, as the waves move it moves the rope as if its trying to take shape of it. Since the rope it light it will move along the ocean and the ocean will keep pushing up on the rope. (even without the waves the water is pushing the rope up so it can take its shape)

Maybe that'll help

You are the juror of a case involving a drunken driver whose 1041 kg sports car ran into a stationary 1928 kg station wagon stop
mina [271]
1. Find the force of friction between the sports car and the station wagon stuck together and the road. The total mass m = 1928kg + 1041kg = 2969kg. The only force in the x-direction is friction: F = μ*N = μ * m * g 
2. Find the acceleration due to friction: 
F = m*a =  μ * m * g => a = μ * g = 0.6 * 9.81
3. Find the time it took the two cars stuck together to slide 12m:
x = 0.5*a*t² 
t = sqrt(2*x / a) = sqrt(2 * x / (μ * g) )
4. Find the initial velocity of the two cars:
v = a*t = μ * g * sqrt(2 * x / (μ * g) ) = sqrt( 2 * x * μ * g)
5. Use the initial velocity of the two cars combined to find the velocity of the sports car. Momentum must be conserved:

m₁ mass of sports car
v₁ velocity of sports car before the crash
m₂ mass of station wagon
v₂ velocity of station wagon before the crash = 0
v velocity after the crash

m₁*v₁ + m₂*v₂ = (m₁+m₂) * v = m₁*v₁ 
v₁ = (m₁+m₂) * v / m₁ = (m₁+m₂) * sqrt( 2 * x * μ * g) / m₁
v₁ = 33.9 m/s
