Charge A and charge B are 3.00 m apart, and charge A is +1.44 C and charge B is +3.10 C. Charge C is located between them at a c

ertain point and the force on charge C is zero. How far from charge A is charge C?

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

What does -9.8 m/s mean? And what does it mean if something has a negative velocity?
a_sh-v [17]

I can't guess what -9.8 m/s means until you tell me where it came from,
or what 'm/s' means.

If perhaps it has something to do with the acceleration of gravity on Earth,
then the correct figure is ' -9.8 m/s² '.  That means that any object that
has no other force acting on it except gravity has its speed changing by
9.8 meters per second every second.  Since it's gravity doing the job,
then the object's speed is either increasing down, or decreasing up. 

If an object has negative velocity, then it's moving in the direction opposite
to the direction that you decided to call positive when you started doing the
problem.

For example, if you decide that up is positive and down is negative, and
then somebody drops a stone from the top of a tall building, then the
gravitational force on the stone is negative (pointing down), its velocity
is negative (it's falling towards down), and its acceleration is negative (its
speed towards down is getting faster and faster).  Everything is negative,
only because you decided that up is positive and down is negative.  It's
nothing to be worried about.

The chart shows data for four different moving objects.
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Hello! The answer is D or X, Z, Y, W

Explanation:

Well to work out kinetic energy, you need to use the formula:

(1/2 * mass) * velocity^2 = Kinetic Energy (Joules)

W = (1/2 * 10) * 8m/s^2 = 320 J

X = (1/2 * 18) * 3m/s^2 = 81 J

Y = (1/2 * 14) * 6m/s^2 = 252 J

Z = (1/2 * 30) * 4m/s^2 = 240 J

If you put those in order, you get X, Z, Y, W, which is option D.
