Describe a situation that includes no less than four charges of any magnitude, but they combine so that another location, p, has

no net electric field at that point. Describe where those charges could be or what magnitudes they could be

Answer:

Four charges of equal magnitude sitting at the vertices of a square

Explanation:

We can arrive at such a situation by thinking of a simple example first, a configuration of two charges. The force acting on the middle point of a straight line joining the two points(charges) will be zero. That is, the net Electric field will be zero as they cancel out being equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Now, we can extend this idea to a square having charge q at each vertex. If we put 'p' at the geometric center, we can see that the Electric fields along the diagonals cancel out due to the charges at the diagonally opposite vertices(refer to the figure attached). Actually, the only requirement is that the diagonally opposite charges are equal.

We can further take this to 3 dimensions. Consider a cube having charges of equal magnitude at each vertex. In this case, the point 'p' will yet again be the geometric center as the Electric field due to the diagonally opposite charges will cancel out.

A string along which waves can travel is 4.36 m long and has a mass of 222 g. The tension in the string is 60.0 N. What must be
lora16 [44]

Answer:

frequency is 195.467 Hz

Explanation:

given data

length L = 4.36 m

mass m = 222 g = 0.222 kg

tension T = 60 N

amplitude A = 6.43 mm = 6.43 × 10^{-3} m

power P = 54 W

to find out

frequency f

solution

first we find here density of string that is

density ( μ )= m/L ................1

μ = 0.222 / 4.36  

density μ is 0.050 kg/m

and speed of travelling wave

speed v = √(T/μ)       ...............2

speed v = √(60/0.050)

speed v = 34.64 m/s

and we find wavelength by power that is

power = μ×A²×ω²×v  /  2     ....................3

here ω is wavelength put value

54 = ( 0.050 ×(6.43 × 10^{-3})²×ω²× 34.64 )   /  2

0.050 ×(6.43 × 10^{-3})²×ω²× 34.64 = 108

ω² = 108 / 7.160  × 10^{-5}

ω = 1228.16 rad/s

so frequency will be

frequency = ω / 2π

frequency = 1228.16 / 2π

frequency is 195.467 Hz

Why forces are balanced and unbalanced? need help with this the lesson is tommorow
Naya [18.7K]
"Balanced" means that if there's something pulling one way, then there's also
something else pulling the other way. 

-- If there's a kid sitting on one end of a see-saw, and another one with the
same weight sitting on the other end, then the see-saw is balanced, and
neither end goes up or down.  It's just as if there's nobody sitting on it.

-- If there's a tug-of-war going on, and there are 300 freshmen pulling on one
end of a rope, and another 300 freshmen pulling in the opposite direction on
the other end of the rope, then the hanky hanging from the middle of the rope
doesn't move.  The pulls on the rope are balanced, and it's just as if nobody
is pulling on it at all.

-- If a lady in the supermarket is pushing her shopping cart up the aisle, and her
two little kids are in front of the cart pushing it in the other direction, backwards,
toward her.  If the kids are strong enough, then the forces on the cart can be
balanced. Then the cart doesn't move at all, and it's just as if nobody is pushing
on it at all.

From these examples, you can see a few things:

-- There's no such thing as "a balanced force" or "an unbalanced force".
It's a <em><u>group</u> of forces</em> that is either balanced or unbalanced.

-- The group of forces is balanced if their strengths and directions are
just right so that each force is canceled out by one or more of the others.

-- When the group of forces on an object is balanced, then the effect on the
object is just as if there were no force on it at all.

Why do deer depend on plants to survive
jarptica [38.1K]
Deer depend on plants to survive because they are herbivores. Herbivores are animals that only eats plants and fruits in order to survive. Deer's meal includes grass and evergreen plants. If grass is unavailable, they eat whatever food like fallen leaves, twigs, bushes and other woody plants.

What is the conclusion of coin and feather experiment? ​
valina [46]

Answer:

So the conclusion is that in presence of air net force acting downward reduces for feather and hence falls slower than coin. But in absence of air resistance, net downward force is just equal to force due to gravity which is same for both coin and feather and hence they fall down at the same rate.
