Answer:

10.7 cm and 25.1 cm

Explanation:

Given:

Q_1 = 34 * 10^(-9) C

Q_1 = -5.5 * 10^(-9) C

Distance between charges = 0.15 m

Distance from origin where E is zero = x

k = 8.99*10^9 Nm^2 / C^2

It is to be noted that E due to positive charge at origin is directed along + x-axis while for negative charge it is directed towards the origin. General, the electric field strength E at a distance R due to charge q is given by :

E = k*(Q) / R^2

The Net Electric field strength of the two charges and is equated to zero as follows:

E_net = k*(Q_1) / x^2 + k*(Q_2) / (0.15 - x)^2 = 0

(Q_1) / x^2 + (Q_2) / (0.15 - x)^2 = 0

Solve the above equation for x:

Q_1 * (0.15 - x)^2 + Q_2 * x^2 = 0

Q_1 * (x^2 - 0.3x + 0.0225) - Q_2 * x^2 = 0

(Q_1 + Q_2) x^2 - 0.3*Q_1*x + 0.0225*Q_1 = 0

2.85x^2 - 1.02x + 0.0765 = 0

x = 0.107 m

x = 0.251 m

A piece of wood that floats on water has a mass of 0.0175 kg. A lead weight is tied to the wood, and the apparent mass with the
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Specific gravity is 0.56

Explanation:

We know that

mass of water displaced by the wood is, m1( apparent mass when wood in air and lead is submerged in water) - m2(the apparent mass when wood and lead both are submerged in water)

= 0.0765 - 0.0452 = 0.0313 Kg

So the specific gravity of the wood is, = mass of wood / mass of water displaced by the wood

= 0.0175/0.0313

=0.56

What is potential energy​
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The potential energy is the energy possessed by the body by the position relative to other things. It is also known as stored energy

The formula is: P.E = mgh

P.E = mass * gravitational energy * height

A ball is projected upward at time t = 0.0 s, from a point on a roof 70 m above the ground. The ball rises, then falls and strik
pentagon [3]

Answer:

The velocity of a ball will be "-70.13 m/s".

Explanation:

The given values are:

u = 70 m

t = 0.0 s

g = a = -9.8 m/s²

s = -1 m

v = ?

As we know,

The equation of motion will be:

⇒  v^2-u^2=2as

On substituting the estimated values, we get

⇒  v^2-(70)^2=2\times (-9.8)\times (-1)

⇒  v^2-4900=19.6

⇒  v^2=19.6+4900

⇒  v^2=4919.6

⇒  v=\sqrt{4919.6}

⇒  v=70.13 \ m/s

In downward direction, it will be:

⇒  v=-70.13 \ m/s
