Answer:

The position on the x axis is 0.32 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Point charge = 27 nC

Charge = 6 nC

Distance = 1

We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of electric field

\dfrac{kq_{1}}{x^2}=\dfrac{kq_{2}}{(r-x)^2}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{27\times10^{-9}}{x^2}=\dfrac{6\times10^{-9}}{(1-x)^2}

\dfrac{27}{x^2}=\dfrac{6}{(1-x)^2}

\dfrac{(1-x)^2}{x^2}=\dfrac{27}{6}

\dfrac{1-x}{x}=\sqrt{\dfrac{27}{6}}

\dfrac{1}{x}=\sqrt{\dfrac{27}{6}}+1

x=0.32\ m

Hence, The position on the x axis is 0.32 m.

On what factor does speed of sound depend​
velikii [3]

Answer:

For sound waves to travel, there is a requirement of medium and density of the medium is considered to be one of the factors on which the speed of sound depends. When the medium is dense, the molecules in the medium are closely packed which means that the sound travels faster.

Tema [17]

Answer

given,

heat added to the gas,Q = 3300 kcal

initial volume, V₁ = 13.7 m³

final volume, V₂ = 19.7 m³

atmospheric pressure, P = 1.013 x 10⁵ Pa

a) Work done by the gas

    W = P Δ V

    W = 1.013 x 10⁵ x (19.7 - 13.7)

    W = 6.029 x 10⁵ J

b) internal energy of the gas = ?

  now,

 change in internal energy

  Δ U = Q - W

    Q = 3300 x 10³ cal

    Q = 3300 x 10³ x 4.186 J

    Q = 1.38 x 10⁷ J

now,

  Δ U = 1.38 x 10⁷  - 6.029 x 10⁵

  Δ U = 1.32 x 10⁷ J
