Answer:

a) d = 2.48 cm

b) \frac{q_1}{q_2}= 1.48 cm

Explanation:

The potential at the point x_1 = 1.0 cm to the left of the charge is given as:

V = \frac{kq_1}{d-x_1}-\frac{kq_2}{x_1} \\ \\

since V = 0 ; Then:

0 = \frac{kq_1}{d-x_1}-\frac{kq_2}{x_1} \\ \\\frac{kq_2}{x_1}  = \frac{kq_1}{d-x_1}

\frac{q_1}{q_2} = \frac{d -x_1}{x_1}

\frac{q_1}{q_2} = \frac{d }{1.0 \ cm} -1

The potential at the point x_2 = 5.2  cm to the right  of the negative charge is:

V = \frac{kq_1}{x_2+d}-\frac{kq_2}{x_2}

since V = 0

\frac{kq_2}{x_2}  =\frac{kq_1}{x_2+d}

\frac{q_1}{q_2} = \frac{x_2+d}{x_2}

\frac{q_1}{q_2} = 1+ \frac{d}{x_2}

\frac{q_1}{q_2} = 1+ \frac{d}{5.2 \ cm}

Now, let's solve for d (the distance between the charges ) from the above derived formulas

If we represent the ratio of \frac{q_1}{q_2} = a

Then; a = \frac{d}{1.0} -1

a+1 = \frac{d}{1.0}

1.0a + 1 = d      ------- equation (1)

Also;

a = 1+ \frac{d}{5.2}

a = \frac{5.2+d}{5.2}

5.2 a = 5.2 +d

5.2 a - 5.2 = d      ---------- equation (2)

From equation (1) ; lets replace  d = 5.2 a - 5.2

then :

1.0 a + 1 = d

1.0 a + 1 = 5.2 a - 5.2

1.0a - 5.2 a = - 5.2 - 1

- 4.2 a = -6.2

a = 1.48 cm

Also replace a = 1.48 cm into equation (1) to solve for d

1.0 a + 1 = d

1.0 (1.48 )+ 1  = d

1.48 + 1 = d

d = 2.48 cm

b)

The ratio of the magnitude of the charges :

\frac{q_1}{q_2}= \frac{d}{1.0} -1

\frac{q_1}{q_2}= \frac{2.48}{1.0} -1

\frac{q_1}{q_2}= \frac{1.48}{1.0}

\frac{q_1}{q_2}= 1.48 cm

Answer:

please the answer below

Explanation:

(a) If we assume that our origin of coordinates is at the position of charge q1, we have that the potential in both points is

V_1=k\frac{q_1}{r-1.0}-k\frac{q_2}{1.0}=0\\\\V_2=k\frac{q_1}{r+5.2}-k\frac{q_2}{5.2}=0\\\\

k=8.89*10^9

For both cases we have

k\frac{q_1}{r-1.0}=k\frac{q_2}{1.0}\\\\q_1(1.0)=q_2(r-1.0)\\\\r=\frac{q_1+q_2}{q_2}\\\\k\frac{q_1}{r+5.2}=k\frac{q_2}{5.2}\\\\q_1(5.2)=q_2(r+5.2)\\\\r=\frac{5.2q_1-5.2q_2}{q_2}

(b) by replacing this values of r in the expression for V we obtain

k\frac{q_1}{\frac{5.2(q_1-q_2)}{q_2}+5.2}=k\frac{q_2}{5.2}\\\\\frac{q_1}{q_2}=\frac{(q_1-q_2)}{q_2}-1.0=\frac{q_1-q_2-q_2}{q_2}=\frac{q_1-2q_2}{q_2}

hope this helps!!

Ina shoots a large marble (Marble A, mass: 0.08 kg) at a smaller marble (Marble B, mass: 0.05 kg) that is sitting still. Marble
stich3 [128]

From the calculations, the final momentum of B is 8.16 m/s

<h3>What is conservation of linear momentum?</h3>

According to the principle of the conservation of linear momentum, the momentum before collision is equal to the total momentum after collision.

This implies that;

MaUa + MbUb = MaVa + MaVa

Substituting values;

(0.08 kg * 0.5 m/s) + (0.05 kg * 0 m/s) = (0.08 kg * −0.1 m/s) + (0.05 kg * v)

0.4 = -0.008 + 0.05v

v = 8.16 m/s

In a crash test, a truck with mass 2100 kg traveling at 22 m/s smashes head-on into a concrete wall without rebounding. The fron
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

a) 11 m/s

b) 0.0564 s

Explanation:

Given:

m = 2100 kg

vi = 22 ..... m/s before collision

vf = 0 ......after collision to stop

Δs = 0.62   distance traveled after collision .. crumpling of truck

Part a

V_{avg} = \frac{vi- vf}{2}\\\\V_{avg} = \frac{22- 0}{2}\\\\ V_{avg} = 11 m/s

Part b

vf = vi + a*t\\vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*s\\\\0 = 22 + a*t\\t = -22 /a\\\\0 = 484 +2*a*(0.62)\\a = - 390.3232 m/s^2\\\\t = -22/(-390.3232)\\\\t = 0.0564 s

Definition of termperature in thermodynamics
antoniya [11.8K]
"Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, which is related to how hot or cold that substance is. Historically, two equivalent concepts of temperature have developed, the thermodynamic description and a microscopic explanation based on statistical physics"

A cruise ship sails due south at 2.00 m/s while a coast guard patrol boat heads 19.0° north of east at 5.60 m/s. What are the x-
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The x-component and y-component of the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat is -5.29 m/s and 0.18 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of ship = 2.00 m/s due south

Velocity of boat = 5.60 m/s due north

Angle = 19.0°

We need to calculate the component

The velocity of the ship in term x and y coordinate

v_{s_{x}}=0

v_{s_{y}}=2.0\ m/s

The velocity of the boat in term x and y coordinate

For x component,

v_{b_{x}}=v_{b}\cos\theta

Put the value into the formula

v_{b_{x}}=5.60\cos19

v_{b_{x}}=5.29\ m/s

For y component,

v_{b_{y}}=v_{b}\sin\theta

Put the value into the formula

v_{b_{y}}=5.60\sin19

v_{b_{y}}=1.82\ m/s

We need to calculate the x-component and y-component of the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat

For x component,

v_{sb_{x}}=v_{s_{x}}-v_{b_{x}}

Put the value into the formula

v_{sb_{x}=0-5.29

v_{sb}_{x}=-5.29\ m/s

For y component,

v_{sb_{y}}=v_{s_{y}}-v_{b_{y}}

Put the value into the formula

v_{sb_{x}=2.-1.82

v_{sb}_{x}=0.18\ m/s

Hence, The x-component and y-component of the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat is -5.29 m/s and 0.18 m/s.
