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 car owner forgets to turn off the headlights of his car while it is parked in his garage. If the 12.0-V battery in his car is

avanturin [10]

Answer: 22.6 hours

Explanation:

The power is the measure of the rate of energy.

In this problem, the 12.0 V battery is rated at 51.0 Ah, which means it delivers 51.0 A of current in a time of t = 1 h = 3600 s. The power delivered by the battery can be written as

$P=IV$

where

I is the current

V = 12.0 V is the voltage of the battery

So the energy delivered by the battery can be written as

$E=Pt=VIt$

Where

$It=51.0 A\cdot h = 51.0 A \cdot 3600 s/h=183,600 A\cdot s$

So the energy delivered is

$E=(12.0)(183,600)=2.2\cdot 10^6 J$

At the same time, the headlight consumes 27.0 W of power, so 27 Joules of energy per second; Therefore, it will remain on for a time of:

$t=\frac{2.2\cdot 10^6 J}{27.0 W}=81481 s = 22.6 h$

One end of an insulated metal rod is maintained at 100 ∘C and the other end is maintained at 0.00 ∘C by an ice–water mixture. Th

lozanna [386]

Answer:

$k=105.0359\times 10^4\,W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

temperature at the hotter end, $T_H=100^{\circ}C$

temperature at the cooler end, $T_C=0^{\circ}C$

length of rod through which the heat travels, $dx=0.7\,m$

cross-sectional area of rod, $A=1.1\times 10^{-4}\,cm^2$

mass of ice melted at zero degree Celsius, $m=8.7\times 10^{-3}\,kg$

time taken for the melting of ice, $t=15\times60=900\,s$

thermal conductivity k=?

By Fourier's Law of conduction we have:

$\dot{Q}=k.A.\frac{dT}{dx}$ ......................................(1)

where:

$\dot{Q}$ =rate of heat transfer

dT= temperature difference across the length dx

Now, we need the total heat transfer according to the condition:

we know the latent heat of fusion of ice, $L = 334000\,J.kg^{-1}$

$Q=m.L$

$Q=8.7\times 10^{-3}\times 334000$

$Q=2905.8\,J$

Now the heat rate:

$\dot{Q}=\frac{Q}{t}$

$\dot{Q}=\frac{2905.8}{900}$

$\dot{Q}=3.2287\,W$

Now using eq,(1)

$3.2287=k\times 1.1\times 10^{-4} \times \frac{100}{0.7}$

$k=205.4606\,W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$
