Answer:

the distance from charge A to C is r₁₃= 1.216 m

Explanation:

following Coulomb's law , the force exerted by 2 point charges between themselves is:

F= k*q₁*q₂/r₁₂² , where q is charge , r is distance and 1 and 2 represents the charge A and charge B respectively , k=constant

since C ( denoted as 3) is at equilibrium

F₁₃=F₂₃

k*q₁*q₃/r₁₃²=k*q₂*q₃/r₂₃²

q₁/r₁₃²=q₂/r₂₃²

r₁₃²/q₁=r₂₃²/q₂

r₂₃=r₁₃*√(q₂/q₁)

since C is at rest and is co linear with A and B ( otherwise it would receive a net force in either vertical or horizontal direction) , we have

r₁₃+r₂₃=d=r₁₂

r₁₃+r₁₃*√(q₂/q₁)=d

r₁₃*(1+√(q₂/q₁))=d

r₁₃=d/(1+√(q₂/q₁))

replacing values

r₁₃=d/(1+√(q₂/q₁)) = 3.00 m/(1+√(3.10 C/1.44 C)) = 1.216 m

thus the distance from charge A to C is r₁₃= 1.216 m

An experiment is performed on an unknown material and produces the given heat curve. The temperature of the material is shown as
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

In the table, 1=46.7 °C, 1=165 J, 2=819 J, 3=1510 J, and 4=2830 J.

Other experiments determine that the material has a temperature of fusion of

fusion =235 °C and a temperature of vaporization of vapor=481 °C.

If the sample of material has a mass of =8.60 g, calculate the specific heat when this material is a solid, and when it is liquid, l

A tiger travels 3m/s^2 for 4.1s,what was its initial speed if it's final speed was 55k/h?
zaharov [31]
Acceleration a=3m/s^2
time t= 4.1seconds
Final velocity V= 55km/h
initial velocity U= ?
First convert V to m/s
36km/h=10m/s
55km/h= 55*10/36=15.28m/s
Using the formula V= U+at
U= V-at
U= 15.28-3*4.1=15.28-12.3=2.98m/s
Initial velocity U= 2.98m/s or 10.73km/h (Using the conversion rate 36km/h=10m/s)

Find the magnitude of this<br> vector:<br> 174 m<br> N<br> 188.4 m<br> HELP FAST
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

195.168 m

Explanation:

To find the magnitude of the vector you can use the Pythagorean Theorem since you have the height and base and the vector is really just the hypotenuse

Pythagorean Theorem:

a^2+b^2=c^2

Plug values in

88.4^2+174^2=c^2

Simplify

7814.56+30276=c^2

Add the two values

38090.56=c^2

Take the square root of both sides

195.168\approx195.168
