Answer:Solution:  

Q1 = -27 × 10^-6 C  

Q2 = 50 × 10^-6 C  

d = 13cm = 0.13 m  

Let x be the distance between P and Q1. At point P, the field due to q1 ie. E1 and q2 ie. E2 are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction and hence cancel each other resulting in zero net electric field.  

At P  

|E1|=|E2|  

kq1/x^2 = kq2/(x+d)^2  

q1 (x^2+0.0169+0.26x)= q2 × x^2  

27x^2 + 0.4563 + 7.02x = 50x^2  

23x^2 -7.02x -0.4563 =0  

x = 0.36m = 36cm  

Or x= -0.055m= -5.5 cm  

Note: -5.5 cm corresponds to a position of P between q1 and q2 where the net electric field is also 0.

The object experiences two external forces: 60 N to the west and 130 N to the east. What is the net external force?
MArishka [77]

Answer: 70 N to the East

Explanation:

lets assume east is positive and west is negative, since they are in opposite directions the net external force = F1+F2

Net force = (-60) + 130

Net force = 70

or

Net force = 70 N in the east direction

The solar noon solar radiation values at the top of the atmosphere above maun are 1366 wm−2 on february 2 and 1074 wm−2 on augus
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

You haven't stated any numbers showing that the intensity of solar radiation at the surface is lower than at the top of the atmosphere. Your data only show that the value at the top of the atmosphere is different on different dates.

From our vast experience, however, we do know that the solar intensity at the surface IS lower than it is at the top of the atmosphere, simply because the atmosphere absorbs some solar radiation ... different amounts of it at different wavelengths.

That's the main reason, for example, why the sky is red at sunrise and sunset and blue the rest of the day, and why the temperature of the air is so much higher than 3° absolute, and why we aren't broiled by X-rays all day. Also the reason why it's worth the tremendous cost and makes such a difference to build astronomical observatories on mountain tops and in low-Earth-orbit, instead of in convenient deep valleys.
