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

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

An 85,000 kg stunt plane performs a loop-the-loop, flying in a 260-m-diameter vertical circle. at the point where the plane is f

A) When the plane is flying straight down, there are three forces acting on it:
- the centripetal force $F=m \frac{v^2}{r}$ , directed toward the center of the circle (so, horizontally)
- the weight of the plane: $W=mg$ , downward, so vertically
- a third force, given by the propulsion of the plane, which is accelerating it towards the ground (because the problem says that the plane has an acceleration of a=12 m/s^2 towards the ground)

The radius of the circle is $r= \frac{260 m}{2} = 130 m$ , so the centripetal force acting on the plane is
$F_c=m \frac{v^2}{r} = \frac{(85000 kg)(55 m/s)^2}{130 m}=1.98 \cdot 10^6 N$
On the vertical axis, we have two forces: the weight
$W=mg=(85000 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=8.34 \cdot 10^5 N$
and the other force F given by the propulsion. Since we know that their sum should generate an acceleration equal to $a=12 m/s^2$ , we can find the magnitude of this other force F by using Newton's second law:
$F+mg=ma$
$F=m(a-g)=(85000kg)(12 m/s^2-9.81 m/s^2)=1.86 \cdot 10^5 N$

So, the net force acting on the plane will be the resultant of the centripetal force (acting in the horizontal direction) and the two forces W and F (acting in the vertical direction):
$R= \sqrt{(F_c^2+(W+F)^2}=$
$= \sqrt{(1.98\cdot 10^6N)^2+(8.34 \cdot 10^5N+1.86 \cdot 10^5 N)^2} =2.23 \cdot 10^6 N$

(b) The tangent of the angle with respect to the horizontal is the ratio between the sum of the forces in the vertical direction (taken with negative sign, since they are directed downward) and the forces acting in the horizontal direction, so:
$\tan \theta = \frac{-(W+F)}{F_c}= -0.5$
And so, the angle is
$\theta = \arctan (-0.5)=-26.8 ^{\circ}$

Where does most of the energy we use at home/our cars come from?

KengaRu [80]

It comes from the sun, and then it is converted to energy/electricity (by solar panels)

two masses are separated by 1 m. suppose the masses are moved so they are 2 m apart how will the gravitational force change

Verdich [7]

The gravitational force would get stronger because the farther the two masses are separated the more gravitational force will be used to pull them together the closer they are the less gravitational pull is used to pull them together
