Answer:

r = 8/2 = 4cm = 0.04m

k = 9×10^9

Enet = 51 N/C

Enet = E1 + E2

since E1 = E2

E1 = Enet/2 = 51/2

E/2 = kq/r²

q = Er²/2k

q = (51 × 0.04²)/(2×9×10^9)

q = 4.5×10^-12 C

q1 = q2 = 4.5 pC

Explanation:

The electric field is a region around a

charge in which it exerts electrostatic force

on another charges. While the strength of

electric field at any point in space is called

electric field intensity. It is a vector

quantity. Its unit is NC¯¹.

According to coulomb’s law ,if a unit

positive charge q (call it a test charge) is

brought near a charge q (call a field

charge) placed in space,the charge q will

experience a force. The value of this force

depends upon the distance between the

two charges. If the charge q is moved

away from q ,this force would decrease till

at a certain distance the force would be

practically reduced to zero. The charge q

is then out of the influence of charge q.

The region of space surrounding the charge

q in which it exerts a force on the charge

q is known as E.F of the charge

q. Mathematically it is expressed as:

E =F/q

The direction of the vector E is the same

as the direction of F,because q is a

positive scalar. Dimensionally,the E.F is

force per unit charge,and its SI unit is the

newton/coulomb (N/C).

Eq-45 what type of boat requires navigation lights?
irina [24]

All the boats operating at night requires Navigation light.

Navigation light helps prevent collisions between boats and see if visibility is poor. The types of boat are : Rowboats, Tug boats, Vessels, Sailboat etc.

Various boats have different lightning color to show its use and side of the boat.

A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly for a five seconds along a straight road. If speed obtained by the car is 72 km
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

50 meters

Explanation:

Let's start by converting to m/s. There are 3600 seconds in an hour and 1000 meters in a kilometer, meaning that 72km/h is 20m/s.

v_f=v_o+at

Since the car starts at rest, you can write the following equation:

20=0+a(5) \\\\a=20\div 5=4 m/s^2

Now that you have the acceleration, you can do this:

d=v_o+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Once again, there is no initial velocity:

d=\dfrac{1}{2}(4)(5)^2=2 \cdot 25=50m

Hope this helps!
