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

A girl is whirling a ball on a string around her head in
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

The girl whirling the ball should let go off ball when the ball is at a position such that tangent to the circle is in the direction of the target.

the tangent at any point in a circular path indicates the direction of velocity at that point. And the moment when the centripetal force is removed the ball will follow the tangential path at that moment.
