Two point charges 3q and −8q (with q > 0) are at x = 0 and x = L, respectively, and free to move. A third charge is placed so

that the entire three-charge system is in static equilibrium. What are the magnitude, sign, and x − coordinate of the third

Answer:

Explanation:

The unknown charge can not remain in between the charge given because force on the middle charge will act in the same direction due to both the remaining charges.

So the unknown charge is somewhere on negative side of x axis . Its charge will be negative . Let it be - Q and let it be at distance - x on x axis.

force on it due to rest of the charges will be equal and opposite so

k3q Q / x² =k 8q Q / (L+x)²

8x² = 3 (L+x)²

2√2 x = √3 (L+x)

2√2 x - √3 x = √3 L

x(2√2 - √3 ) = √3 L

x = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )

Let us consider the balancing force on 3q

force on it due to -Q and -8q will be equal

kQ . 3q / x² = k3q  8q / L²

Q = 8q  (x² / L²)

so charge required = - 8q  (x² / L²)

and its distance from x on negative x side = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )

What is a cool example of newtons 3rd law?
USPshnik [31]
<span>This law means that when one object exerts force on another, the same amount of force is exerted on the initial object, but in the opposite reaction. For example, when a billiard ball strikes another ball, the second ball is propelled forward. Simultaneously, the momentum of the first ball is slowed or stopped by opposing force. The amount that the first object is affected by the opposing force depends on the mass and motion of the second object.</span>

5.610^-26 m  is closest to the wavelength of the light.

E=K.E - Work function

hc/λ=1.10-4.65

hc/λ=3.50

λ=hc/3.50

λ=6.626×10 −34J⋅s×3×10^8

λ=5.610^-26 m

Because the relationship between wave frequency and wavelength is inverse, gamma rays have extremely short wavelengths that are only a fraction of the size of atoms, whereas other wavelengths can reach as far as the universe. Regardless of the medium they travel through, electromagnetic radiation's wavelengths are typically expressed in terms of the vacuum wavelength, even though this isn't always stated explicitly.

The wavelength of electromagnetic radiation affects its behavior. The speed of light is equal to wavelength times frequency. Frequency multiplied by the Planck constant equals energy. 1/wavelength is the wave number in cm. Along with the wavelengths of different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, a rough estimation of the wavelength size is displayed.

A boat moves through the water of a river at 10m/s relative to the water, regardless of the boat ‘s direction . If the water in
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is "61.37 s".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Boat moves,

= 10 m/s

Water flowing,

= 1.50 m/s

Displacement,

d = 300 m

Now,

The boat is travelling,

= 10+1.50

= 11.5 \ m/s

Travelling such distance for 300 m will be:

⇒ v = \frac{d}{t} \ sot \ t

      =\frac{d}{v}

On putting the values, we get

      =\frac{300}{11.5}

      =26.08 \ s

Throughout the opposite direction, when the boat seems to be travelling then,

= 10-1.50

= 8.5 \ m/s

Travelling such distance for 300 m will be:

⇒ v=\frac{v}{t} \ sot \ t

      =\frac{d}{v}

On putting the values, we get

      =\frac{300}{8.5}

      =35.29 \ s

hence,

The time taken by the boat will be:

= 26.08+35.29

= 61.37 \ s
