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 physics student throws a stone horizontally off a cliff. one second later, he throws a second identical stone in exactly the s
Virty [35]

The second stone hits the ground exactly one second after the first.

The distance traveled by each stone down the cliff is calculated using second kinematic equation;

h = v_0_yt + \frac{1}{2} gt^2

where;

  • <em>t is the time of motion </em>
  • <em />v_0_y<em> is the initial vertical velocity of the stone = 0</em>

h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2

The time taken by the first stone to hit the ground is calculated as;

t_1 = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }

When compared to the first stone, the time taken by the second stone to hit the ground after 1 second it was released is calculated as

t_2 = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } + 1

t_2 = t_1 + 1

Thus, we can conclude that the second stone hits the ground exactly one second after the first.

"<em>Your question is not complete, it seems be missing the following information;"</em>

A. The second stone hits the ground exactly one second after the first.

B. The second stone hits the ground less than one second after the first

C. The second stone hits the ground more than one second after the first.

D. The second stone hits the ground at the same time as the first.

You are visiting your friend Fabio's house. You find that, as a joke, he filled his swimming pool with Kool-Aid, which dissolved
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The volume of contaminated water

= cross sectional area x height of water level

3.14 x 9 x 9 x 7.5 ft³

= 1907.55 ft³

mass = density x volume

= 1907.55 x 63.5 lbs

m = 121129.425 lbs

This mass has to be raised to the height of 8 ft before evacuation .

There is a rise of centre of mass of

8 - 7.5/2 ft

h = 4.25 ft

Energy required

= mgh

= 121129.425 x 32 x 4.25

= 16473601.8 unit.

A moving particle is subject to conservative forces only. When its kinetic energy decreases by 10 J, what happens to its mechani
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Its mechanical energy is the same.

Explanation:

If forces are only conservative, the mechanical energy will be the same.

It can be different if energy get transformed in another kind of energy like elastic energy for example, although the amount of energy is always the same.

If we just have mechanical energy not geting transformed we have:

Em=K+U

Em: Mechanical energy

K: Kinetic energý

U: Potential energy

Then if Kinetic energy decreases 10J, Potential energy will grow up 10J to keep the same amount of mechanical energy.
