d = distance between the two point charges = 60 cm = 0.60 m

r = distance of the location of point "a" where the electric field is zero from charge q_{1} between the two charges.

q_{1} = magnitude of charge on one charge

q_{2} = magnitude of charge on other charge

q_{1} = 3 q_{2}

E_{1} = Electric field by charge q_{1} at point "a"

E_{2} = Electric field by charge q_{2} at point "a"


Electric field by charge q_{1} at point "a" is given as

E_{1} = kq_{1} /r²

Electric field by charge q_{2} at point "a" is given as

E_{2} = kq_{2} /(d-r)²

For the electric field to be zero at point "a"

E_{2} = E_{1}

kq_{2} /(d-r)² = kq_{1} /r²

q_{2} /(d-r)² = 3q_{2} /r²

1/(0.60 - r)² = 3 /r²

r = 0.38 m

r = 38 cm

<span>The particles through which compressional waves travel move in the same direction as the wave. This may be observed by fixing one end of a large spring and then compressing and extending the other end. The wave travels from one end to the other and the spring's parts move in the same direction.</span>

If an impulse of 400 Ns acts on an object for 15s, what is the force of the object?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

J for impulse

t for time

F for force

formula is J=F×t

Explanation:

putting values in eqs after rearranging

we need to find force so

F=J ÷t

F=400÷15

=26.67

=27(rounded off)

27N is the Force applied.
