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.

A motorcycle rider moving with an initial velocity of 9.2 m/s uniformly accelerates to a speed of 19.1 m/s in a distance of 32.0
Vlada [557]
Acceleration = (final velocity^2 - initial velocity^2) / 2 * distance

Acceleration = (19.1^2 - 9.2^2) / 2 * 32

Acceleration = (364.81 - 84.64) / 64

Acceleration = 280.17 / 64

Acceleration = 4.3777m/s^2

Explain all the energy conversions that take place while using a cell phone.
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

#See solution for details.

Explanation:

-Chemical energy in the battery is converted into Electrical Energy which powers up the phone.

-The electrical energy is then converted to Light Energy when the phone is powered up, this is seen through the lightening up of the phone screen.

-During phone calls, the electrical energy is further converted to Sound Energy to allow for transmission of audio signals.

- As we continue to use the phone, the electrical energy is converted into heat energy which we feel due to an overheating battery.

-The cycle then repeats itself again whenever a phone is charged.

What does convection mean
Sladkaya [172]
Convection is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat
