A negative charge is at rest at the origin of an axis system. Location x is at coordinate point (2m,3m) while location y is at (

-3m,-2m). At which location will the E-field have the greatest magnitude?

The magnitude of the E-field decreases as the square of the distance from the charge, just like gravity.

Location ' x ' is √(2² + 3²) = √13 m from the charge.

Location ' y ' is √ [ (-3)² + (-2)² ] = √13 m from the charge.

The magnitude of the E-field is the same at both locations.

The direction is also the same at both locations ... it points toward the origin.

A long uniform wooden board (a playground see-saw) has a pivot point at its center. An older child of mass M=32 kg is sitting a

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer: $\frac{5L}{6}$

Explanation:

Given

Wooden board is pivoted at center and

Older child of mass $M=32\ kg$ is sitting at a distance of L from center

if two child of mass $\frac{M}{2}$ is sitting at a distance $\frac{L}{6}$ and $x$ (say) from pivot then net torque about pivot is zero

i.e.

$\Rightarrow \tau_{net}=MgL-\frac{M}{2}g\frac{L}{6}-\frac{M}{2}gx$

as $\tau_{net}=0$

Therefore

$MgL=\frac{M}{2}g\frac{L}{6}+\frac{M}{2}gx$

$L-\frac{L}{6}=x$

$x=\frac{5L}{6}$

Therefore another child is sitting at a distance of $\frac{5L}{6}$

Answer:

I am sorry I can't draw graphical ok how to draw the graph where what is your position the displacement of time and work 7 kilometres east in 2 hours and what will happen to the time and 72 in 1 hour what is the displacement you after take the displacement formula that is total time taken divided by the distance travelled ok displacement and distance travelled is different about its terms ok

An 89 kg man drops from rest on a diving board −3.1 m above the surface of the water and comes to rest 0.5 s after reaching the

OLga [1]

To solve this problem we will use the linear motion kinematic equations, for which the change of speed squared with the acceleration and the change of position. The acceleration in this case will be the same given by gravity, so our values would be given as,

$m= 89 kg\\x = 3.1 m\\t = 0.5s\\a = g = 9.8m/s^2$

Through the aforementioned formula we will have to

$v_f^2-v_i^2 = 2ax$

The particulate part of the rest, so the final speed would be

$v_f^2 = 2gx$

$v_f=\sqrt{2(9.8)(3.1)}$

$v_f = 7.79m/s$

Now from Newton's second law we know that

$F = ma$

Here,

m = mass

a = acceleration, which can also be written as a function of velocity and time, then

$F = m\frac{dv}{dt}$

Replacing we have that,

$F = (89)\frac{7.79}{0.5}$

$F = 1386.62N$

Therefore the force that the water exert on the man is 1386.62

How much energy will a stock tank heater rated at 1790 Watts use in a 24 hour period? 1. 1790 × 24 × 3600 Joules 2. 1790 × 24 ×

Rashid [163]

<h2>Option 1 is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

Power of heater, P = 1790 W

Time used, t = 24 hours = 24 x 60 x 60 = 24 x 3600 s

We have the equation

$\texttt{Power}=\frac{\texttt{Energy}}{\texttt{Time}}$

We need to find energy,

Substituting

$\texttt{Power}=\frac{\texttt{Energy}}{\texttt{Time}}\\\\1790=\frac{\texttt{Energy}}{24\times 3600}$

Energy = 1790 x 24 x 3600 J

Option 1 is the correct answer.
