A charge of +2.00 x 10^-9 C is placed at the origin, and another charge of +4.50 x 10^-9 C is placed at x = 1.6 m. The Coulomb c

onstant is 8.98755 x 10^9 N m2/C2. Find the point (coordinate) between these two charges where a charge of +3.70 x 10^-9 C should be placed so that the net electric force on it is zero.

Answer:

0.64 m from the first charge

Explanation:

Force is given by

F_1=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F_1=\dfrac{k2\times 10^{-9}\times 3.7\times 10^{-9}}{x^2}

F_2=\dfrac{kq_2q_3}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F_1=\dfrac{k4.5\times 10^{-9}\times 3.7\times 10^{-9}}{(1.6-x)^2}

These forces are equal

\dfrac{k2\times 10^{-9}\times 3.7\times 10^{-9}}{x^2}=\dfrac{k4.5\times 10^{-9}\times 3.7\times 10^{-9}}{(1.6-x)^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{x^2}=\dfrac{4.5}{(1.6-x)^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{4.5}=\dfrac{x^2}{(1.6-x)^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{4.5}{2}=\dfrac{(1.6-x)^2}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{\dfrac{4.5}{2}}=\dfrac{1.6-x}{x}\\\Rightarrow 1.5=\dfrac{1.6-x}{x}\\\Rightarrow 1.5x+x=1.6\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{1.6}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow x=0.64\ m

The distance that charge should be placed is 0.64 m from the first charge

Operators must slow to no wake speed when within what distance of a u.s. naval vessel?
Alex Ar [27]
Recreational boaters have a role in keeping the waterways safe and secure. Violators of the restrictions can expect a quick and severe response. The operator should not approach within yards and slow to minimum speed within 500 yards of any of united states naval vessel. If the vessel need to pass within 100 yards of a united states naval vessel for safe passage, must contact the united states naval vessel or the united states coast guard escort vessel on VHF-FM channel 16. In addition,

• The operator must perceive and avoid all security areas.

• Avoid commercial port operation areas particularly those that include military cruise line or petroleum amenities. 

• The operator must perceive and avoid other controlled areas near dams, power plants, etc. 

• The operator of the vessel must not discontinue or anchor underneath bridges or in the channel.

What do the different colors in a line spectrum represent? why are the spectra for each element unique?
Lana71 [14]
They typically represents different wavelengths of element due to its energy emission in the form of visible light. When an electron of that particular element move from a higher energy level down to a lower energy level, it gives off energy in the form of photon emission. Atom of a certain element has a unique electron arrangement thus it can considered that particular element's spectrum is unique.

When you are ice skating, to get started, you push your stake backwards on the ice and, as a result, begin to move forward. whic
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

C. Newtons third law of motion

Because eventually, the frictional forces will slow you to a halt. Newton's Third Law of Motion For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When they push off against the ice, or "stroke" with their skates, they are applying a force down and back against the ground.

Hope this helps!
