The point midway between the two charges is located 15.0 cm from one charge and 15.0 from the other charge. The electric field generated by each of the charges is
E=k_e  \frac{q}{r^2}
where
ke is the Coulomb's constant
Q is the value of the charge
r is the distance of the point at which we calculate the field from the charge (so, in this problem, r=15.0 cm=0.15 m).

Let's calculate the electric field generated by the first charge:
E_1 = (8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2} ) \frac{+40.0 \cdot 10^{-9} C}{(0.15 m)^2}=1.6 \cdot 10^4 N/C

While the electric field generated by the second charge is
E_2 = (8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2} ) \frac{+60.0 \cdot 10^{-9} C}{(0.15 m)^2}=2.4 \cdot 10^4 N/C

Both charges are positive, this means that both electric fields are directed toward the charge. Therefore, at the point midway between the two charges the two electric fields have opposite direction, so the total electric field at that point is given by the difference between the two fields:
E=E_2 - E_1 = 2.4 \cdot 10^4 N/C - 1.6 \cdot 10^4 N/C = 8000 N/C

Answer:

C) True. S increases with time, v₁ = gt and v₂ = g (t-t₀)  we see that for the same t v₁> v₂

Explanation:

You have several statements and we must select which ones are correct. The best way to do this is to raise the problem.

Let's use the vertical launch equation. The positive sign because they indicate that the felt downward is taken as an opponent.

Stone 1

    y₁ = v₀₁ t + ½ g t²

    y₁ = 0 + ½ g t²

Rock2

It comes out a little later, let's say a second later, we can use the same stopwatch

     t ’= (t-t₀)

    y₂ = v₀₂ t ’+ ½ g t’²

    y₂ = 0 + ½ g (t-t₀)²

    y₂ = + ½ g (t-t₀)²

Let's calculate the distance between the two rocks, it should be clear that this equation is valid only for t> = to

    S = y₁ -y₂

    S = ½ g t²– ½ g (t-t₀)²

    S = ½ g [t² - (t²- 2 t to + to²)]  

    S = ½ g (2 t t₀ - t₀²)

    S = ½ g t₀ (2 t -t₀)

This is the separation of the two bodies as time passes, the amount outside the Parentheses is constant.

For t <to.  The rock y has not left and the distance increases

For t> = to.  the ratio (2t/to-1)> 1 therefore the distance increases as time

passes

Now we can analyze the different statements

A) false. The difference in height increases over time

B) False S increases

C) Certain s increases with time, v₁ = gt and V₂ = g (t-t₀) we see that for the same t   v₁> v₂

For two traveling waves, if the crest of one wave coincides with a trough of another, what type of interference occurs?
kogti [31]
When crest of one wave interferes with the trough of other wave, the amplitude of the resultant wave formed is less. Hence the type of interference is destructive interference.
