Answer:

a)   x = ⅔ d , b) the charge must be negative, c) Q

Explanation:

a) In this exercise the force is electric between the charges, we are asked that the system of the three charges is in equilibrium, we use Newton's second law. Balance is on the third load that we are placing

         ∑ F = 0

        -F₁₂ + F₂₃ = 0

         F₁₂ = F₂₃

         

let's replace the values

        k Q Q / r₁₂² = k Q 4Q / r₂₃²

            Q² / r₁₂² = 4 Q² / r₂₃²

suppose charge 3 is placed at point x

        r₁₂ = x

        r₂₃ = d-x

             

we substitute

             1 / x² = 4 / (d-x) 2

             1 / x = 2 / (d-x)

             x = 2 (x-d)

             x = 2x -2d

            3x = 2d

              x = ⅔ d

b) The sign of the charge must be negative, to have an attractive charge on the two initial charges

c)  Q

The latitude of any location on earth is the angle formed by the two rays drawn from the center of earth to the location and to
Alina [70]

The distance between city a and city b is 833.345 miles.

We know that

1°=60'

The distance of city a from the initial ray is  calculated as

x_a=3960*tan45.46°=4024.101 miles

The distance of city b from the initial ray is calculated as

x_b=3960*tan 38.86°=3190.75 miles

Now the distance between city a and b is equal to

4024.101-3190.75=833.345 miles

This is the vertical distance between the cities.

A rubber band has potential energy of 5 J. If the spring constant of the rubber band is 50 N/m, what is the displacement of the
Valentin [98]
To determine the displacement, since we are given the potential energy, we use the equation for potential energy. For a spring, it is one-half the product of the spring constant and the square of the displacement. We do as follows:

PE = kx^2/2
5 Nm = 50N/m (x^2)
x = 0.32 m

Therefore, the displacement would be 0.32 m.

Katena32 [7]

Answer and Explanation:

Parallax method is used for finding the distance of objects in space there are two types of parallax method that is stellar parallax and trigonometric parallax.The disadvantage of using parallax method is that it can can not reach so far in the Galaxy due to this reason parallax method is generally not used for measuring distance in galaxy.

Answer:

1.It's the world's most famous equation, but what does it really mean? "Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared." On the most basic level, the equation says that energy and mass (matter) are interchangeable; they are different forms of the same thing.

2.The process releases energy because the total mass of the resulting single nucleus is less than the mass of the two original nuclei.

3.In nuclear reactions, mass is never conserved—some mass is exchanged for energy and energy for mass. Nuclear reactions take place in an atom's nucleus. In a spontaneous nuclear reaction, such as radioactive decay, mass is "lost" and appears as energy in the form of particles or gamma rays.

4.In a nuclear reaction, mass decreases and energy increases. The sum of mass and energy is always conserved in a nuclear reaction.

5.The process releases energy because the total mass of the resulting single nucleus is less than the mass of the two original nuclei.
