Answer:

y = 10.2 m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge, q_1=-3\ nC

It is placed at a distance of 9 cm at x axis

Charge, q_2=+4\ nC

It is placed at a distance of 16 cm at x axis

We need to find the point on the y-axis where the electric potential zero. The net potential on y-axis is equal to 0. So,

\dfrac{kq_1}{r_1}+\dfrac{kq_2}{r_2}=0

Here,

r_1=\sqrt{y^2+9^2} \\\\r_2=\sqrt{y^2+15^2}

So,

\dfrac{kq_1}{r_1}=-\dfrac{kq_2}{r_2}\\\\\dfrac{q_1}{r_1}=-\dfrac{q_2}{r_2}\\\\\dfrac{-3\ nC}{\sqrt{y^2+81} }=-\dfrac{4\ nC}{\sqrt{y^2+225} }\\\\3\times \sqrt{y^2+225}=4\times \sqrt{y^2+81}

Squaring both sides,

3\times \sqrt{y^2+225}=4\times \sqrt{y^2+81}\\\\9(y^2+225)=16\times (y^2+81)\\\\9y^2+2025=16y^2-+1296\\\\2025-1296=7y^2\\\\7y^2=729\\\\y=10.2\ m

So, at a distance of 10.2 m on the y axis the electric potential equals 0.

garri49 [273]

Answer:

Explanation:

When a player throws a football , he applies force on the ball , due to which ball accelerates in forward direction . This is the action force .

The ball also applies a force on the hand of the player . Due to it the player experiences a pushing force in backward direction . This is reaction force .

Due to this force , the player does not move in backward direction because of frictional force of the ground . The frictional force keeps him stationary .

Is it polar or non-polar... i need help on all of them plz hurry
Murljashka [212]
Answers

1.) non-polar

2.) non-polar

3.) Polar

4.) Polar

Non-polar molecules are essentially molecules that have an even distribution of of electrical charges.

Polar molecules is the separation of electric charges, having one positive end and another negative end.
