Three point charges lie in a straight line along the y-axis. A charge of q1 = -10.00 µC is at y = 6.40 m, and a charge of q2 = -

7.70 µC is at y = -3.60 m. The net electric force on the third point charge is zero. Where is this charge located?

Answer:

y coordinate where field is zero is  1.1 m

Explanation:

given data

charge q1 = -10.00 µC

y = 6.40 m,

charge q2 = -7.70 µC

y = -3.60 m

solution

we know that here Electric field E that is express as

Electric field E = \frac{kQ}{r^2}   ..............................1

and

Distance between charges will be

Distance between charges = 6.40 -  (-3.60) = 10 m

so here neutral point P is at  distance d from q1

so it is  distance (10 - d) from q2.  

so here

Field from q1 at P = \frac{k(-10 \times 10^{-6})}{d^2}

and

Field from q2 at P = \frac{k(-7.70 \times 10^{-6})}{(10-d)^2}

so here field is  in opposite directions and the resultant field = 0

so

\frac{k(-10 \times 10^{-6})}{d^2} = \frac{k(-7.70 \times 10^{-6})}{(10-d)^2}  

\frac{10}{d^2} = \frac{7.70}{(10-d)^2}

d =  5.326242 m

so y coordinate where field is zero is 6.40 - 5.32 = 1.1 m

The temperature scale which starts at absolute zero is the _____.
oksian1 [2.3K]
The temperature scale which starts at absolute zero is the Kelvin scale. The correct option in respect to the given question is the last option. William Thompson was the British scientist and inventor that invented the Kelvin scale. William Thompson was also popularly known as Lord Kelvin.His discovery of the Kelvin scale is considered one among the three best scales in use for measuring temperatures.Each measuring unit of this scale is never called a degree but a Kelvin. This specialized scale gives the option of measuring temperature in both centigrade and Fahrenheit.

A block whose weight is 45.8 N rests on a horizontal table. A horizontal force of 36.6 N is applied to the block. The coefficien
Liula [17]

Answer:

Yes it will move and a= 4.19m/s^2

Explanation:

In order for the box to move it needs to overcome the maximum static friction force

Max Static Friction = μFn(normal force)

plug in givens

Max Static friction = 31.9226

Since 36.6>31.9226, the box will move

Mass= Wieght/g which is 45.8/9.8= 4.67kg

Fnet = Fapp-Fk

= 36.6-16.9918

=19.6082

=ma

Solve for a=4.19m/s^2

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

39.6 m/s

Explanation:

Taking down to be positive:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Δy = 80 m

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (9.8 m/s²) (80 m)

v = 39.6 m/s

The Coulomb force between two charges q1 and q2 at separation r in the air is 10N. If half of the separation is filled with medi
adoni [48]

Answer:

The value of new coulomb force is 1.43 N.

Explanation:

Given;

Coulomb's force in vacuum (air), F_v = 10 N

dielectric constant, K = 7

The Coulomb's force between two charges separated by a distance r in a vacuum is given as;

F_v = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

The Coulomb's force between two charges separated by a distance r in a medium with dielectric constant is given as

F_m = \frac{1}{4\pi K\epsilon_0} \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

Take the ratio of the two forces;

\frac{F_v}{F_m} = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2} \ \times \ \frac{4\pi K\epsilon_0 r^2}{q_1q_2} = K\\\\\frac{F_v}{F_m} = K\\\\\frac{10}{F_m} = 7\\\\F_m = \frac{10}{7} \\\\F_m = 1.43 \ N

Therefore, the value of new coulomb force is 1.43 N.
