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

1. What coefficients would balance the following equation?
maksim [4K]

Answer:

D. 4Al + 3O2 → 2Al2O3

Explanation:

Chemical reactions involves the chemical combination of two or more substances called REACTANTS to yield other substances called PRODUCTS. However, in accordance with the LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS, the amount of reactants must be equal to that of the products.

To accomplish this, the reaction must be BALANCED. A balanced equation is an equation in which the number of atoms of each element in the reactant side equals the number of atoms in the product side. In this reaction involving Aluminum and Oxygen to give Aluminum oxide as follows:

Al + 02 → Al2O3

A coefficient is used to balance the number of atoms on both sides of the equation as follows:

4Al + 3O2 → 2Al2O3

A small rubber ball is launched by a compressed-air cannon from ground level with an initial speed of 17.3 m/s directly upward.
elena-s [515]

Answer:

h=15.27m

Explanation:

Since at maximum height the vertical velocity must be null it's better to use the formula:

v_f^2=v_i^2+2ad

We will use this formula for the vertical direction, choosing the upward direction as the positive one, so we have:

0=v_i^2+2ah

or

h=-\frac{v_i^2}{2a}

which for our values is:

h=-\frac{(17.3m/s)^2}{2(-9.8m/s^2)}=15.27m
