Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

A point charge is placed between two charges

Q1 = 4 μC

Q2 = -1 μC

Distance between the two charges is 1m

We want to find the point when the electric field will be zero.

Electric field can be calculated using

E = kQ/r²

Let the point charge be at a distance x from the first charge Q1, then, it will be at 1 -x from the second charge.

Then, the magnitude of the electric at point x is zero.

E = kQ1 / r² + kQ2 / r²

0 = kQ1 / x² - kQ2 / (1-x)²

kQ1 / x² = kQ2 / (1-x)²

Divide through by k

Q1 / x² = Q2 / (1-x)²

4μ / x² = 1μ / (1 - x)²

Divide through by μ

4 / x² = 1 / (1-x)²

Cross multiply

4(1-x)² = x²

4(1-2x+x²) = x²

4 - 8x + 4x² = x²

4x² - 8x + 4 - x² = 0

3x² - 8x + 4 = 0

Check attachment for solution of quadratic equation

We found that,

x = 2m or x = ⅔m

So, the electric field will be zero if placed ⅔m from point charge A, OR ⅓m from point charge B.

Yuri [45]

Answer:

El valor de la fuerza que debe ejercer la persona C debe ser de -2 para que la caja esté en equilibrio físico.

Explanation:

Si la caja debe hallarse en equilibrio físico, entonces se debe satisfacer la siguiente ecuación:

$F_{A} + F_{B} + F_{C} = 0$ (1)

Si sabemos que $F_{A} = -3$ y $F_{B} = 5$ , entonces el valor de la fuerza que debe ejercer la persona C debe ser:

$F_{C} = -F_{A}-F_{B}$

$F_{C} = -(-3)-5$

$F_{C} = -2$

El valor de la fuerza que debe ejercer la persona C debe ser de -2 para que la caja esté en equilibrio físico.

Two workers pull horizontally on a heavy box. but one pulls twice as hard as the other. The larger pull is directed at 21.0° wes

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of F1 is

$|F1|=358.74 \ N$

The magnitude of F2 is

$|F2|=179.37\ N$

And the direction of F2 is

$\alpha = 44.214^o$

Explanation:

<u>Net Force </u>

Forces are represented as vectors since they have magnitude and direction. The diagram of forces is shown in the figure below.

The larger pull F1 is directed 21° west of north and is represented with the blue arrow. The other pull F2 is directed to an unspecified direction (red arrow). Since the resultant Ft (black arrow) is pointed North, the second force must be in the first quadrant. We must find out the magnitude and angle of this force.

Following the diagram, the sum of the vector components in the x-axis of F1 and F2 must be zero:

$\displaystyle -2F\ sin21^o+F\ cos\alpha =0$

The sum of the vertical components of F1 and F2 must equal the total force Ft

$\displaystyle -2F\ cos21^o+F\ sin\alpha =460$

Solving for $\alpha$ in the first equation

$\displaystyle cos\alpha =\frac{2F\ sin21^o}{F}=2sin21^o$

$\displaystyle cos\alpha =0.717=>\alpha =44.214^o$

$\displaystyle F(2cos21^o+sin\alpha)=460$

$\displaystyle F=\frac{460}{2cos21^o+sin\alpha}$

$\displaystyle F=\frac{460}{2cos21^o+sin44.214^o}$

$\displaystyle F=179.37\ N$

The magnitude of F1 is

$|F1|=2*F=358.74 \ N$

The magnitude of F2 is

$|F2|=179.37\ N$

And the direction of F2 is

$\alpha = 44.214^o$

In a series lrc circuit, the frequency at which the circuit is at resonance is f0. If you double the resistance, the inductance,

taurus [48]

When you double capacitance and inductance, the new resonance frequency becomes f/2.

Resonance frequency:

The resonance frequency of RLC series circuit, is the frequency at which the capacity reactance is equal to inductive reactance.

It can also be defined as the natural frequency of an object where it tends to vibrate at a higher amplitude.

Xc = Xl

which gives the value for resonance frequency:

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC} }$

where;

f is the resonance frequency

L is the inductance

C is the capacitance

When you double capacitance and inductance, the new resonance frequency becomes;

$f' = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{2L2C} }$

$f' = \frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{4LC} }$

$f' = \frac{1}{\pi \sqrt{LC} }\frac{1}{2}$

$f' = \frac{1}{2} f$

Thus from above,

When you double capacitance and inductance, the new resonance frequency becomes f/2.
