Suppose we have two negative charges, one located at the origin and carrying charge −9e, and the other located on the positive x

-axis at a distance d from the first one and carrying charge −36e. Determine the location, polarity and magnitude of a third charge whose placement would bring the entire system into equilibrium.

Answer:

It would have to be in between the two charges and be positive for force on 9e to be zero

k 9e q/x^2= k 36e 9e /d^2

q/x^2 = 36e/d^2

q = 36e x^2/d^2

Now we need force on 36e to be zero

k 36e q/(d-x)^2 = k 36e 9e/d^2

q/(d-x)^2 = 9e/d^2

36 x^2/d^2 = 9/d^2 (d-x)^2

36 x^2 = 9 (d-x)^2

x=d/3

q = 36e (d/3)^2/d^2 = 36e/3^2 = 4 e

Technician A says that a seal can be pried out of a bore using a sharp chisel. Technician B says that smaller metal-backed seals
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": Both.

Explanation:

Industrial seals are used at interfaces between components to prevent leakage, to maintain heat, and to avoid contamination. The design, construction, and materials they use vary depending on industrial use but the most common are Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Nitrile Buna Rubber (NBR), and fluorocarbon.

Thus, using a sharp chisel could pry a seal out of a hole and a regular socket can often be used to force smaller metal-backed seals into place. Thus, technicians "A" and "B" are correct.

The rate of energy transfer by work is called power. a)-True b)-False
Pie

Answer:

Yes the statement is true.

Explanation:

Power is defined as the rate at which energy is transferred by an object on account of work done.

Mathematically

Power=\frac{dE}{dt}

An object that does work loses it's energy while an object on which work is done gains energy.

Power is often dependent on the type of energy transfer thus we have Electrical Power, Mechanical Power depending on the type of energy involved in the system.

Concept of power is important since it gives us a measure of how fast energy can be derived to given to a system.

Linear Time Invariant Systems For each of the systems below an input x(t) and the output y(t) are plotted. Determine whether eac
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

The system can be described by a convolution

Explanation:

Thinking process:

If we consider a discrete input to a linear time-invariant system, then the system will be periodic with respect to the period, say N. This therefore, means that the output must also  be periodic. The proof is as follows:

The LTI system can be written for the system where:

y (n+N) = ∑h(k)x(n + N - k)

            = ∑h(k)x(n-k)\\= y(n)

From the proof, it turns out that y(y + N) = y(n) for any value of n, then the output will be the periodic with the period N.

"How would you direct traffic in the result of a catastrophic earthquake?"
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

In the result of a earthquake, you should direct people into areas that are safe, such as places where the ground has not been broken up, and then tell people to get out of their cars and be careful. You should also have them carry any valuable items out of the car(if they have time), and then wait until the initial shocks and aftershocks are over, and then tell them to get back into their cars and then drive carefully and safely.

1 // Lab 2 tryIt2A 2 #include 3 using namespace std; 4 5 int main() 6 { int x = 1, y = 3; 7 int X = 2, Y = 4; 8 9 cout <<
padilas [110]

Answer:

Here is the complete program:

#include <iostream>

 using namespace std;    

 int main()

 {  int x = 1, y = 3;  

 int X = 2, Y = 4;  

 cout << "tryIt 2A" <<endl;

   cout << x << y << endl;  

   cout << "x" << "y" << endl;  

   cout << X << " " << Y << endl;

   cout << 2 * x + y << endl;  

   cout << 2 * X + Y << endl;  

   //cout << x + 2*y << endl;  

   cout << "x = ";  

   cout << x;  

   cout << " y = ";  

   cout << y;        

   return 0;

   }

Explanation:

I will explain the code line by line in the comment with each line of code and the output of each cout statement.

  • int x = 1, y = 3;  

This statement assigns value 1 to integer variable x and 3 to int variable y

  • int X = 2, Y = 4;  

This statement assigns value 2 to integer variable X and 4 to int variable Y As C++ is a case sensitive language so variable x and y are different from variables X and Y.

  • cout << "tryIt 2A" <<endl;

This statement has cout which is used to display output on the screen. So the output displayed by this cout statement is:

tryIt2A

  • cout << x << y << endl;  

This statement will print the values stored in x and y variables. So output displayed by cout statement here is 1 and 3. As there is not space or next line specified in the statement so output displayed will look like this:

13

  • cout << "x" << "y" << endl;  

This statement will display x and y but these are not the variable x and y. They are enclosed in double quotation marks so they are treated as strings not variables so the output displayed is:

xy

  • cout << X << " " << Y << endl;

This statement will print the values stored in X and Y variables. So output displayed by cout statement here is 2 and 4. As there is  space " " specified in the statement so 2 and 4 are displayed with a space between them so the output displayed will look like this:

2 4

  • cout << 2 * x + y << endl;  

This statement has an arithmetic operation in which 2 is multiplied by the values stored in variable x and then the result is added by value of y. So  2*1 = 2 and 2 + 3 = 5. So the result produced by this cout statement is:

5

  • cout << 2 * X + Y << endl;  

This will work same as above cout statement but the only difference is that the values of capital X and Y variables are calculated here. So 2 * 2 = 4 and then 4 + 4 = 8. The result produced by this cout statement is:

8

  • //cout << x + 2*y << endl;  

This is a comment because before this statement // is written which is used for single line comment. So compiler ignores comments and will not compile this statement.

  •    cout << "x = ";  

This will display "x = " as it is not variable but it is treated as a line to be displayed on the screen. So cout statement displays:

x =

  • cout << x;

This will print the value stored in x variable as there are no double quotes around x so it is a variable which contains value 1. In the above statement there is no endl so the output of this cout statement is displayed with the output of previous cout statement. So the following line is displayed on screen:

x = 1

  • cout << " y = ";

This will display "y = " as it is not variable but it is treated as a line to be displayed on the screen. In the above statement there is no endl so the output of this cout statement is displayed with the output of previous cout statement. So the following line is displayed on screen

x = 1 y =

  • cout << y;    

This will print the value stored in y variable as there are no double quotes around y so it is a variable which contains value 3. In the above statement there is no endl so the output of this cout statement is displayed with the output of previous cout statement. So the following line is displayed on screen:

x = 1 y = 3

So the output of the entire program along with the program is attached as screenshot.
