Answer:

x coordinate = -1.66 m

y coordinate is = -0.825m

Explanation:

Suppose z be the distance form the first charge and z + sqrt(1^2 +.5^2) be the distance from the second So z + sqrt(1+.25) = z + 1.12

We have k*2.0x10^-6/s^2 = k*6x10^-6/(s+1.12)^2

0.0356s^2 -0.019s-0.0897=0  

s=1.876m

The angle of the line between the two charges is arctan(.5/1) = 26.6o

x coordinate = -1.876*cos(26.6) = -1.66m

y coordinate is -1.876*sin(26.6) = -0.825m

What is weight transfer
zzz [600]

Answer:

Weight transfer involves the actual relatively small movement of the vehicle CoM relative to the wheel axes due to displacement of the chassis as the suspension complies, or of cargo or liquids within the vehicle, which results in a redistribution of the total vehicle load between the individual tires.

When a 4.20-kg object is hung vertically on a certain light spring that obeys Hooke's law, the spring stretches 2.00 cm. (a) If
mr_godi [17]

(a) 0.714 cm

First of all, we need to find the spring constant of the spring. This can be done by using Hooke's law:

F=kx

where

F is the force applied on the spring

k is the spring constant

x is the stretching of the spring

At the beginning, the force applied is the weight of the block of m = 4.20 kg hanging on the spring, therefore:

F=mg=(4.20)(9.8)=41.2 N

The stretching of the spring due to this force is

x = 2.00 cm = 0.02 m

Therefore, the spring constant is

k=\frac{F}{x}=\frac{41.2}{0.02}=2060 N/m

Now, a new object of 1.50 kg is hanging on the spring instead of the previous one. So, the weight of this object is

F=mg=(1.50)(9.8)=14.7 N

And so, the stretching of th spring in this case is

x=\frac{F}{k}=\frac{14.7}{2060}=0.00714 m = 0.714 cm

(b) 1.65 J

The work done on a spring is given by:

W=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where

k is the spring constant

x is the stretching of the spring

In this situation,

k = 2060 N/m

x = 4.00 cm = 0.04 m is the stretching due to the external agent

So, the work done is

W=\frac{1}{2}(2060)(0.04)^2=1.65 J

Radiation emitted from human skin reaches its peak at λ = 960 µm. what is the frequency of this radiation? planck's constant is
Artist 52 [7]
1) The wavelength of the radiation emitted by the human skin is
\lambda=960 \mu m = 960 \cdot 10^{-6} m
the frequency of the radiation is related to the wavelength by
f= \frac{c}{\lambda}
where c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light. Plugging numbers into the formula, we find the frequency of the radiation:
f= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{960 \cdot 10^{-6}m}=3.13 \cdot 10^{11} Hz

2) The frequency of this radiation is 313 GHz, and its wavelength 960 \mu m. If we look at the table of the electromagnetic spectrum
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum
We see that we are in the range of visible light (in particular, in the infrared range).
Therefore, the correct answer is <span>2. visible light .</span>
