Complete Question: A charge q1 = 2.2 uC is at a distance d= 1.63m from a second charge q2= -5.67 uC. (b) Find a point between the two charges on the horizontal line where the electric potential is zero. (Enter your answer as measured from q1.)
Answer:
d= 0.46 m
Explanation:
The electric potential is defined as the work needed, per unit charge, to bring a positive test charge from infinity to the point of interest.
For a point charge, the electric potential, at a distance r from it, according to Coulomb´s Law and the definition of potential, can be expressed as follows:
V =
We have two charges, q₁ and q₂, and we need to find a point between them, where the electric potential due to them, be zero.
If we call x to the distance from q₁, the distance from q₂, will be the distance between both charges, minus x.
So, we can find the value of x, adding the potentials due to q₁ and q₂, in such a way that both add to zero:
V = +
= 0
⇒:
Replacing by the values of q1, q2, and k, and solving for x, we get:
⇒ x = (2.22 μC* 1.63 m) / 7.89 μC = 0.46 m from q1.

The weight of a man on the surface of asteroid is equal to the gravitational force exerted on the man:
where
G is the gravitational constant
is the mass of the asteroid
m = 100 kg is the mass of the man
r = 2.0 km = 2000 m is the distance of the man from the centre of the asteroid
Substituting, we find
2. 1.7 m/s
In order to stay in orbit just above the surface of the asteroid (so, at a distance r=2000 m from its centre), the gravitational force must be equal to the centripetal force
where v is the minimum speed required to stay in orbit.
Re-arranging the equation and solving for v, we find:
