Answer:

Ok, the gravitational field in the x-axis can be written as:

g(x) = G*∑mₙ/(xₙ - x)

where the field points in the positive x-axis

where mₙ is the mass of the n-th particle, and xₙ is the position of the n-th particle, then, in our case we have:

g(x) = G*(- 2kg/x + 6kg(8m -x))

then; g(2)  = G*( -2kg/2m + 6kg/(8m- 2m)) = G*( -1kg/m + 1kg/m) = 0

g(12) = G*( -(2/12)kg/m  +6/(8 - 12)kg/m) = G* (-2/12 kg/m - 6/4kg/m) = -G*(20/12)kg/m

and we already find that the point where g(x) = 0 is 2

this is the x such:

G*(- 2kg/x + 6kg(8m -x)) = 0

then, the thing inside the parentheses must be zero, now we have:

2kg/x = 6kg(8m -x)

then:

x/2kg = (8/6) m/kg - x/(6kg)

x (1/(2kg) + 1/(6kg)) = (8/6)m/kg

x*(4/(6kg)) = (8/6)m/kg

x = (8/6)*(6/4)m = 2m

Explain how thermal conductivity occurs in poor conductor materials​
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

• As heat is applied to one end of this material, atoms in the hotter region gain vibràtory energy at a maximum amplitude. They transfer it on to their neighboring atoms and heat is transfered along this material in form of vibràtory energy.

What is the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction when light passes from a medium where its sp
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

This is because the speed of a wave is determined by the medium through which it is passing. When light speeds up as it passes from one material to another, the angle of refraction is bigger than the angle of incidence. For example, this happens when light passes from water to air or from glass to water ❤

Georgia [21]

components of the speed of the coin is given as

v_x = v cos60

v_x = 6.4 cos60 = 3.2 m/s

v_y = vsin60

v_y = 6.4 sin60 = 5.54 m/s

now the time taken by the coin to reach the plate is given by

t = \frac{\delta x}{v_x}

t = \frac{2.1}{3.2}

t = 0.656 s

now in order to find the height

h = vy * t + \frac{1}{2} at^2

h = 5.54 * 0.656 - \frac{1}{2}*9.8*(0.656)^2

h = 1.52 m

so it is placed at 1.52 m height

A very long straight wire has charge per unit length 1.44×10-10C/m.
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Distance of the point where electric filed is 2.45 N/C is 1.06 m            

Explanation:

We have given charge per unit length, that is liner charge density \lambda =1.44\times 10^{-10}C/m

Electric field E = 2.45 N/C

We have to find the distance at which electric field is 2.45 N/C

We know that electric field due to linear charge is equal to

E=\frac{\lambda }{2\pi \epsilon _0r}, here \lambda is linear charge density and r is distance of the point where we have to find the electric field

So 2.45=\frac{1.44\times 10^{-10} }{2\times 3.14\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times r}

r = 1.06 m

So distance of the point where electric filed is 2.45 N/C is 1.06 m
