A) Calculate the resultant electric field strength at the midpoint between the charges.

Qx is the charge at X and Qy is the charge at Y.

E at midpoint = k×Qx/0.25² - k×Qy/0.25²

k = 9×10⁹Nm²C⁻², Qx = 45nC, Qy = 12nC

E = 4752N/C

Well done.

B) Calculate the distance from X at which the electric field strength is zero.

Let D be some point between X and Y for which the net E field is 0.

Let d be the distance from X to D.

Set up the following equation:

E at D = k×Qx/d² - k×Qy/(0.5-d)² = 0

Do some algebra to solve for d:

k×Qx/d² = k×Qy/(0.5-d)²

Qx/d² = Qy/(0.5-d)²

Qx(0.5-d)² = Qyd²

(0.5-d)√Qx = d√Qy

0.5√Qx-d√Qx = d√Qy

d(√Qx+√Qy) = 0.5√Qx

d = (0.5√Qx)/(√Qx+√Qy)

Plug in Qx = 45nC, Qy = 12nC

d ≈ 330mm

C) Calculate the magnitude of the electric field strength at the point P on the diagram below.

First determine the angles of the triangle. The sides of the triangle are 0.3m, 0.4m, and 0.5m, so this is a right triangle where the angle between the 0.3m and 0.4m sides is 90°

∠Y = tan⁻¹(0.4/0.3) = 53.13°

∠X = 90-∠Y = 36.87°

Determine the horizontal component of E at P:

Ex = E from Qx × cos(∠X) - E from Qy × cos(∠Y)

Ex = k×Qx/0.4²×cos(36.87°) - k×Qy/0.3²×cos(53.13°)

Ex = 1305N/C

Determine the vertical component of E at P:

Ey = E from Qx × sin(∠X) - E from Qy × sin(∠Y)

Ey = k×Qx/0.4²×sin(36.87°) - k×Qy/0.3²×sin(53.13°)

Ey = 2479N/C

Use the Pythagorean theorem to determine the magnitude of E at P:

E = √(Ex²+Ey²)

E ≈ 2802N/C

How to find the maximum amount of a substance that will dissolve using a graph?
soldi70 [24.7K]
Solubility indicates the maximum amount of a substance that can be dissolved in a solvent at a given temperature. Such a solution is called saturated. Divide the mass of the compound by the mass of the solvent and then multiply by 100 g to calculate the solubility in g/100g .

a distant galaxy is studied with a radio telescope x ray telescope and optical light telescope. the images form which set of mus
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

The modern instruments or we can say the different levels of telescopes are used to explore and study the distant galaxies. i.e the Hubble telescope is out there providing the data regarding the different properties of the celestial entities which in other case is not visible to the human naked eye.

Explanation:

  • Scientists and research workers are in constant search for more answers as they explore the universe and implement the laws of physics on the celestial entities. But, most of the objects inside the universe are not visible to human naked eye, as they are far from sight and thus more advanced form of instruments like the x-ray, optical, and light telescopes are used to determine the different properties of the celestial entities inside the universe.
  • As, these telescopes includes the most recent "Hubble telescope", which is out there inside the space to explore the universe and more over the galaxies by subjecting them with x-rays and then provide us with a very rough but valid results to study the distant galaxies.

A flow is isentropically expanded to supersonic speeds in a convergent-divergent nozzle. The reservoir and exit pressures are 1.
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Ae/A* = 1.115

Explanation:

Let the reservoir pressure be  p_0

Let the exit  pressure be p_e

Ratio of reservoir pressure and exit pressure

\frac{p_o}{p_e} = \frac{1}{0.3143}

  = 3.182

For the above value of pressure ratio

Obtain the area ratio from the isentropic flow table

Ae/A* = 1.115

The value of pressure ratio is Ae/A* = 1.115
