A star is located 5.9 light years from Earth.
We know that : 1 light year = 9.46 trillion kilometers.
We will calculate the distance in trillion kilometers multiplying the number of light years by 9.46:
5.9 * 9.46 = 55.814
Answer: The distance is 55.814 trillion km.
The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.
So since the boat has a lower density than the water, it will float.
So the answer is choice B
Answer:
Explanation:
The unknown charge can not remain in between the charge given because force on the middle charge will act in the same direction due to both the remaining charges.
So the unknown charge is somewhere on negative side of x axis . Its charge will be negative . Let it be - Q and let it be at distance - x on x axis.
force on it due to rest of the charges will be equal and opposite so
k3q Q / x² =k 8q Q / (L+x)²
8x² = 3 (L+x)²
2√2 x = √3 (L+x)
2√2 x - √3 x = √3 L
x(2√2 - √3 ) = √3 L
x = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )
Let us consider the balancing force on 3q
force on it due to -Q and -8q will be equal
kQ . 3q / x² = k3q 8q / L²
Q = 8q (x² / L²)
so charge required = - 8q (x² / L²)
and its distance from x on negative x side = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )
