Explanation :

It is given that, q and 4q are placed at a distance of l.

Let x is the distance where third charge is placed so that the entire three charge system is in static equilibrium.

Equilibrium means the net force acting on the system of charges is equal to zero. Let Q is the third charge.

So, \dfrac{kqQ}{x^2}=\dfrac{k(Q)(4q)}{(l-x)^2}

On solving,

x=\dfrac{l}{3}

For magnitude :

\dfrac{kqQ}{(l/3)^2}=\dfrac{kq4q}{l^2}

using x=\dfrac{l}{3}

Q=\dfrac{4q}{9}

So, a charge of -4q/9 is at a distance of l/3 is placed. It is placed to the right of  +q.

Answer:

The answer is the top choice. (-1)

Explanation:

We are dealing with a negative number here, so we should start at negative five on the number line. From here we see that we are subtracting a negative number from it, which means we are really adding. (Review your rules for negative signs if this doesn't make sense.) So we add 4 to -5, and we get -1. Thus, we get the top choice.

A 75 kg football player is gliding forward across very smooth ice at 4.6 m/s. He throws a 0.47 kg football straight forward. A)
lord [1]

Answer:

4.53482 m/s

4.506 m/s

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of player = 75 kg

v_1 = Initial velocity of player = 4.6 m/s

m_2 = Mass of ball = 0.47 kg

v_1 = Initial velocity of ball = 15 m/s

The linear momentum of the system is conserved

(m_1+m_2)v_1=m_1v+m_2v_2\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{(m_1+m_2)v_1-m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{(75+0.47)4.6-0.47\times 15}{75}\\\Rightarrow v=4.53482\ m/s

The player's speed is 4.53482 m/s

In the second case the equation of momentum is

(m_1+m_2)v_1=m_1v+m_2(v_2+v_1)\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{(m_1+m_2)v_1-m_2(v_2+v_1)}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{(75+0.47)4.6-0.47\times (15+4.6)}{75}\\\Rightarrow v=4.506\ m/s

The player's speed is 4.506 m/s

A car of mass 775 kg traveling at a velocity of 30 m/s in the positive x-direction crashes into the rear of a truck of mass 1,47
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

velocity of the car is 7.3516 m/s

Explanation:

M1v1a + m2v1b = m1v2a + m2v2b

775*30 + 1475*0 = 775*v2a+1475*11.9

Let v2a be x

23250 + 0 = 775x + 17552.5

775x = 23250-17552.5

775x = 5697.5

X = 7.3516 m/s
