Answer:

The question seems to be incomplete, but ill try to answer it the best that I can do it.

We have two charges in a horizontal line, where the charge of the charges is q1 and q2, and the distance in between the charges is d. So we can think that one of the charges is in x = 0 and the other charge is in x = d, and we can solve it only on x.

We want to find a point in between the charges where the electric potential is zero.

The electric potential for a charge is:

V(x) = k*q/Ix - x0I

where x0 is the position of the charge, and k is a constant.

Then the potentials that we have aer

V1(x) = k*q1/Ix-0I = k*q1/IxI

V2(x) =  k*q1/IxI

now we want to find for wich value of x V1(x) + V2(x) = 0

k*q1/IxI +  k*q2/Ix - dI = 0

k(q1/IxI +  q2/Ix - dI) = 0  

So here we can see that the signs of q1 and q2 must be different:

q1/IxI = -q2/Ix-dI

q1*Ix-dI = -q2*IxI

With this relation, you can find x.

I can not keep solving it without the values of q1, q2, and d, but with this equation, you can find the value of x.

Complete Question: A charge q1 = 2.2 uC is at a distance d= 1.63m from a second charge q2= -5.67 uC. (b) Find a point between the two charges on the horizontal line where the electric potential is zero. (Enter your answer as measured from q1.)

Answer:

d= 0.46 m

Explanation:

The electric potential is defined as the work needed, per unit charge, to bring a positive test charge from infinity to the point of interest.

For a point charge, the electric potential, at a distance r from it, according to Coulomb´s Law and the definition of potential, can be expressed as follows:

V = \frac{k*q}{r}

We have two charges, q₁ and q₂, and we need to find a point between them, where the electric potential due to them, be zero.

If we call x to the distance from q₁, the distance from q₂, will be the distance between both charges, minus x.

So, we can find the value of x, adding the potentials due to q₁ and q₂, in such a way that both add to zero:

V = \frac{k*q1}{x} +\frac{k*q2}{(1.63m-x)} = 0

⇒k*q1* (1.63m - x) = -k*q2*x:

Replacing by the values of q1, q2, and k, and solving for x, we get:

⇒ x = (2.22 μC* 1.63 m) / 7.89 μC = 0.46 m from q1.

A bird flying straight upward at 5 m/s drops a berry when it is 300 m above the ground. How fast is the berry going when it hits
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

v=77.62 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

h= - 300 m

speed of the bird ,u= 5 m/s

Lets take Speed of the berry when it hit the ground = v m/s

we know that ,if object is moving upward

v² = u² - 2 g h

u=Initial speed

v=Final speed

h=Height

Now by putting the values

v² = u² - 2 g h

v² = 5² - 2 x 10 x (-300)                ( take g = 10 m/s²)

v² =25 + 20 x 300

v² ==25 + 6000

v² =6025

v=77.62 m/s

Therefore the final speed of the berry will be 77.62 m/s.

According to the law of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of
Darina [25.2K]

Before going to answer this question first we have to understand reflection and laws of reflection.

Reflection is the optical phenomenon in which light will bounce back to the same medium from which it had originated .

Whenever a light ray will incident on a mirror or any reflecting surface, it will be reflected. The ray which falls on the reflecting surface is called incident ray and the ray which is reflected is called reflected ray.

Let us consider a normal to the point of incidence.The angle made by incident ray with the normal is called angle of incidence.Let it be denoted as[ i ]

The angle made by the reflected ray with the normal is called angle of incidence.Let it be denoted as [r]

There are two types of reflection.One is called regular and other one is called as irregular.The laws of reflection is valid for both the types of reflection.

There are two laws of reflection.

FIRST LAW -It states that the incident ray,reflected ray and the normal to the point of incidence,all lie in one plane.

SECOND LAW- It states that that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection irrespective of the type of reflection.i.e i =r

Hence the correct answer will be angle of reflection.

Two blocks of masses M 1 and M 2 are connected by a massless string that passes over a massless pulley as shown in the figure. M
stealth61 [152]

The mass M1 is 7.8 kg

Explanation:

Block M1 is hanging on the string while block M2 is on the frictionless ramp.

We have to write the equations of motion for the two blocks.

- For M1, the only two forces acting on it are the force of gravity M_1 g (downward) and the tension in the string T (upward). So we can write

M_1 g - T = M_1 a

where

M_1 is the mass of the block

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

a is the acceleration of the system

- For M2, the only two forces acting on it are the tension in the string T (acting up along the ramp) and the component of the gravity acting down along the ramp, M_2 g sin \theta. So the equation of motion is

T-M_2 g sin \theta = M_2 a

where

M_2 = 13.5 kg is the mass of the 2nd block

\theta=35.5^{\circ} is the angle of the ramp

In order for the two blocks to be in equilibrium, the acceleration must be zero:

a=0

So the two equations become:

M_1 g - T=0\\T-M_2 g sin \theta = 0

Isolating T from the 1st equation,

T=M_1 g

And substituting into the 2nd equation, we can find the value of the mass M_1:

M_1 g - M_2 g sin \theta = 0\\M_1 = M_2 sin \theta = (13.5)(sin 35.5^{\circ})=7.8 kg
