Because of symmetry electric field component in the x axis cancels out. Now just use electric field formula and slap that sine of theta cause you want the vertical component of electric field and multiply that by two since there’s two charges. I’ve shown my work. Hope it helps✌

Answer:

$y = \frac{d}{\sqrt2}$

Explanation:

As we know that electric field due to each charge at any given height y due to the point charges is given by

$E = \frac{kq}{d^2 + y^2}$

now we know that horizontal component of electric field due to each charge will cancel out while vertical component will be added due to both

So here we can say

$E_{net} = \frac{kqy}{(d^2 + y^2)^{3/2}}$

now we know that for maximum value of Electric field

$\frac{dE}{dy} = 0$

after solving this we will have

$y = \frac{d}{\sqrt2}$

Two wires of the same material and having the same volume, are fixed

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

48 kg

Explanation:

Given that the two wires are of same material, so their value of young's modulus will be same

Assuming that the wires are cylindrical in shape

As radius of the first wire is half that of the second wire and therefore the area of cross-section of the first wire will be one-fourth of the second wire( ∵ wire is cylindrical, the cross-sectional part will be circle and the area of the circle = π × r² )

As the volume is same for both wires

∴ π × ( $r_{1}$ )² × $l_{1}$ = π × ( $r_{2}$ )² × $l_{2}$

Here

$r_{1}$ is the radius of the first wire

$r_{2}$ is the radius of the second wire

$l_{1}$ is the length of the first wire

$l_{2}$ is the length of the second wire

⇒ π × (( $r_{2}$ )² ÷ 4) × $l_{1}$ = π × ( $r_{2}$ )² × $l_{2}$ (∵ radius of first wire is half that of the second wire)

By cancelling the same terms on both sides

we get

$l_{1}$ = 4 × $l_{2}$

⇒ Length of first wire will be four times of the length of second wire

<h3>Strain is defined as the elongation per unit length</h3>

Strain in first wire = ΔL ÷ $l_{1}$ = ΔL ÷ (4 × $l_{2}$ )

where ΔL is the elongation of the wire which in this case is same in both wires

Strain in second wire = ΔL ÷ $l_{2}$

∴ Strain in second wire is four times of strain in first wire

<h3>Stress = F ÷ A</h3>

where F is the force perpendicular to the cross-sectional area

A is the area of cross-section

Force in first wire = $m_{1}$ × g

where $m_{1}$ is the mass hanged to the first wire

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Force in second wire = $m_{2}$ × g

where $m_{2}$ is the mass hanged to the second wire

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Let $A_{1}$ be the cross-sectional area of first wire

$A_{2}$ be the cross-sectional area of second wire

$A_{2}$ = 4 × $A_{1}$ (∵ cross=sectional area of the wire = π × (radius of the wire)² )

Stress in first wire = ( $m_{1}$ × g) ÷ ( $A_{1}$ )

Stress in second wire = ( $m_{2}$ × g) ÷ ( $A_{2}$ ) = ( $m_{2}$ × g) ÷ (4 × $A_{1}$ )

<h3>Young's modulus is defined as Stress per unit strain</h3>

As Young's modulus is same for both wires, Stress per unit strain must be same for both wires

Stress per unit strain of first wire = (( $m_{1}$ × g) ÷ ( $A_{1}$ )) ÷ (ΔL ÷ (4 × $l_{2}$ ))

Stress per unit strain of second wire = (( $m_{2}$ × g) ÷ (4 × $A_{1}$ )) ÷ (ΔL ÷ $l_{2}$ )

By equating them we get

$m_{2}$ = 16 × $m_{1}$

⇒ $m_{2}$ = 16 × 3 = 48 kg

∴ $m_{2}$ = 48 kg

A force does +190 j of work when it acts on a moving object and its direction is in the same direction as the object's displacem

zhenek [66]

<span>To find the amount of work done by a force acting on a moving object, we can use this simple equation: W = F * d * cos(theta) W is Work F is the force d is the distance the object moves theta is the angle between the force vector and the direction of motion We know that (F * d) is 190 joules. We can find the work done when the angle is 56°. W = F * d * cos(theta) W = (190 J) * cos(56°) W = 106 J At an angle of 56°, the work done by the force is 106 joules.</span>

MA seconds class lever always more than 1

Hoochie [10]

It is highly helpful to know that the mechanical advantage (M.A.) of Class two levers is usually greater than one. It is because the overall length of the Effort Arm is higher than the overall length of Load Arm. It is easily known by MA is effort arm/load arm.

!! ⬇️

The mechanical advantage of a lever of the second order is always greater than one because its effort arm is always longer than the load arm i.e. Effort arm > Load arm.

Second class lever has mechanical advantage always more than one as load is in between fulcrum and effort making the effort arm longer than the load arm.

First Class Lever -- the effort and the load on either side of the fulcrum. Some examples would be a crowbar or a seesaw. The effort is only less than the load if the load is closer to the fulcrum. The lever then acts as a force magnifier and the mechanical advantage is greater than one.

Select the object that has the most gravitational force. a sand grain a marble a bowling ball a tennis ball

Anna35 [415]

<span>So we want to know which object has a gravitational force of the greatest magnitude. Since gravitational force depends on the mass of the object, the object with the greatest mass will have the greatest magnitude of the gravitational force. In this case that is the bowling ball. </span>
