Answer:
y = 10.2 m
Explanation:
It is given that,
Charge,
It is placed at a distance of 9 cm at x axis
Charge,
It is placed at a distance of 16 cm at x axis
We need to find the point on the y-axis where the electric potential zero. The net potential on y-axis is equal to 0. So,
Here,
So,
Squaring both sides,
So, at a distance of 10.2 m on the y axis the electric potential equals 0.
Answer:
Distance = 345719139.4[m]; acceleration = 3.33*10^{19} [m/s^2]
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by using Newton's universal gravitation law.
In the attached image we can find a schematic of the locations of the Earth and the moon and that the sum of the distances re plus rm will be equal to the distance given as initial data in the problem rt = 3.84 × 108 m
Now the key to solving this problem is to establish a point of equalisation of both forces, i.e. the point where the Earth pulls the astronaut with the same force as the moon pulls the astronaut.
Mathematically this equals:
When we match these equations the masses cancel out as the universal gravitational constant
To solve this equation we have to replace the first equation of related with the distances.
Now, we have a second-degree equation, the only way to solve it is by using the formula of the quadratic equation.
We work with positive value
rm = 38280860.6[m] = 38280.86[km]
<u>Second part</u>
<u />
The distance between the Earth and this point is calculated as follows:
re = 3.84 108 - 38280860.6 = 345719139.4[m]
Now the acceleration can be found as follows:
