A 120-kg object and a 420-kg object are separated by 3.00 m At what position (other than an infinitely remote one) can the 51.0-

kg object be placed so as to experience a net force of zero from the other two objects?

Answer:

1.045 m from 120 kg

Explanation:

m1 = 120 kg

m2 = 420 kg

m = 51 kg

d = 3 m

Let m is placed at a distance y from 120 kg so that the net force on 51 kg is zero.

By use of the gravitational force

Force on m due to m1 is equal to the force on m due to m2.

\frac{Gm_{1}m}{y^{2}}=\frac{Gm_{2}m}{\left ( d-y \right )^{2}}

\frac{m_{1}}{y^{2}}=\frac{m_{2}}{\left ( d-y \right )^{2}}

\frac{3-y}{y}=\sqrt{\frac{7}{2}}

3 - y = 1.87 y

3 = 2.87 y

y = 1.045 m

Thus, the net force on 51 kg is zero if it is placed at a distance of 1.045 m from 120 kg.

Two point charges lie on the x axis. A charge of + 2.30 pC is at the origin, and a charge of − 4.50 pC is at x=−11.0cm.
Radda [10]

r₁ = distance of point A from charge q₁ = 0.13 m

r₂ = distance of point A from charge q₂ = 0.24 m

r₃ = distance of point A from charge q₃ = 0.13 m

Electric field by charge q₁ at A is given as

E₁ = k q₁ /r₁² = (9 x 10⁹) (2.30 x 10⁻¹²)/(0.13)² = 1.225 N/C     towards right

Electric field by charge q₂ at A is given as

E₂ = k q₂ /r₂² = (9 x 10⁹) (4.50 x 10⁻¹²)/(0.24)² = 0.703 N/C    towards left

Since the electric field in left direction is smaller, hence the electric field by the third charge must be in left direction

Electric field at A will be zero when

E₁ = E₂ + E₃

1.225 = 0.703 + E₃

E₃ = 0.522 N/C

Electric field by charge "q₃" is given as

E₃ = k q₃ /r₃²

0.522 = (9 x 10⁹) q₃/(0.13)²

q₃ = 0.980 x 10⁻¹² C = 0.980 pC

Using Gauss's law, calculate the electric field at a point distance s from a long wire bearing uniform charge density. i need he
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

E = 2k  \frac{\lambda}{ r}

Explanation:

Gauss's law states that the electric flux equals the wax charge between the dielectric permeability.

We must define a Gaussian surface that takes advantage of the symmetry of the problem, let's use a cylinder with the faces perpendicular to the line of charge. Therefore the angle between the cylinder side area has the same direction of the electric field which is radial.

            Ф = ∫ E . dA = E ∫ dA = q_{int} /ε₀

tells us that the linear charge density is

            λ = q_ {int} /l

            q_ {int} = l λ

we substitute

            E A = l λ /ε₀

is area of ​​cylinder is

           A = 2π r l

we substitute

            E = \frac{ l \ \lambda}{ \epsilon_o \ 2\pi  \ r \ l }

             E = \frac{\lambda}{ 2\pi  \epsilon_o \ r}

the amount

            k = 1 / 4πε₀

            E = 2k  \frac{\lambda}{ r}

Pretend you (80 kg) are making repairs on the outside of the International Space Station. You are floating 20 meters away from t
djyliett [7]

Answer:

32 seconds

Explanation:

m1 = 80 kg

m2 = 10 kg

v2 = 5m/s

According to the property of conservation of momentum, assuming that both you and the bag are stationary before the safety rope comes lose:

m_{1} v_{1} =m_{2} v_{2} \\80v_{1} =10*5 \\v_{1} = 0.625\ m/s

Since the space station is 20 meters away, the time taken to reach it is given by:

t = \frac{20}{0.625}\\t=32\ s

It takes you 32 seconds to reach the station.
