Answer:

Explanation:

We shall find electric field at origin due to two given charges sitting   on the either side of origin .

Total field will add up due to their same direction .

Field due to a charge Q

= 9 x 10⁹ x Q / R²  ;  R is distance of point , Q is charge

Field due to first charge

= 9 x 10⁹ x 40 x 10⁻³ / 2² x 10⁻⁴

= 90 x 10¹⁰ N/C

Field due to second  charge

= 9 x 10⁹ x 50 x 10⁻³ / 2² x 10⁻⁴

= 112.5 x 10¹⁰ N/C

Total field

= 202.5 x 10¹⁰ N/C

Force on given charge at origin

= charge x field

= 4 x 10⁻³ x 202.5 x 10¹⁰

= 810 x 10⁷ N .

If you walk 30 meters forwards, and then turn around and walk 25 meters backwards, what is the distance that you walked? What di
xeze [42]

Given :

Walk in forward direction is 30 m .

Walk in backward direction is 25 m .

To Find :

The distance and displacement .

Solution :

We know , distance is total distance covered and displacement is distance between final and initial position .

So , distance travelled is :

D = 30 + 25 m = 55 m .

Now , we first move 30 m in forward direction and then 25 m in backward direction .

So , displacement is :

D = 30 - 25 m = 5 m .

Therefore , distance and displacement covered is 55 m and 5 m respectively .

Hence , this is the required solution .
