Answer:

The net Electric field at the mid point is 289.19 N/C

Given:

Q = + 71 nC = 71\times 10^{- 9} C

Q' = + 42 nC = 42\times 10^{- 9} C

Separation distance, d = 1.9 m

Solution:

To find the magnitude of electric field at the mid point,

Electric field at the mid-point due to charge Q is given by:

\vec{E} = \frac{Q}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}

\vec{E} = \frac{71\times 10^{- 9}}{4\pi\8.85\times 10^{- 12}(\frac{1.9}{2})^{2}}

\vec{E} = 708.03 N/C

Now,

Electric field at the mid-point due to charge Q' is given by:

\vec{E'} = \frac{Q'}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}

\vec{E'} = \frac{42\times 10^{- 9}}{4\pi\8.85\times 10^{- 12}(\frac{1.9}{2})^{2}}

\vec{E'} = 418.84 N/C

Now,

The net Electric field is given by:

\vec{E_{net}} = \vec{E} - \vec{E'}

\vec{E_{net}} = 708.03 - 418.84 = 289.19 N/C

An astronaut on a space walk floats a little too far away from the space station. Without air to push against, he cannot paddle
Artyom0805 [142]
He can throw the hammer in the direction opposite to the direction he wants to travel in. The hammer will exert an equal and opposite force on him, as per Newton's third law, and this will help him move towards the space station.

Kelli weighs 440 N, and she is sitting on a playground swing that hangs 0.41 m above the ground. Her mom pulls the swing back an
kifflom [539]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial height from the ground = .41 m

Final height = 1m

Height by which Kelli was raised ( h )= .59 m

When she passes through the lowest point , she loses P E

= mgh

= 440 x .59

= 259.6 J

kinetic energy possessed by her

= 1/2 mv²

= .5 x (440/9.8) x 2²

= 89.8 J

Difference of energy is lost due to work by  air friction

work done by  friction = 89.8 - 259.6

= - 169.8 J

A 56 kg diver runs and dives from the edge of a cliff into the water which is located 4.0 m below. If she is moving at 8.0 m/s t
Reil [10]

Answer:

1) 2197.44 J

2) 0 J

3) 2197.44 J = Constant

4) 2197.44 J

5) Approximately 8.86 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the diver, m = 56 kg

The height of the cliff, h = 4.0 m

The speed with which the diver is moving, vₓ = 8.0 m/s

The gravitational potential energy = Mass, m × Height of the cliff, h × Acceleration due to gravity, g

1) Her gravitational potential energy = 56 × 4.0 × 9.81 = 2197.44 J

2) The kinetic energy = 1/2·m·u²

Where;

u = Her initial velocity = 0 when she just leaves the cliff

Therefore;

Her kinetic energy when she just leaves the cliff = 1/2 × 56 × 0² = 0 J

3) The total mechanical energy = Kinetic energy + Potential energy

The total mechanical energy is constant

Her total mechanical energy relative to the water surface when she leaves the cliff = Her gravitational potential energy = 2197.44 J = Constant

4) Her total mechanical energy relative to the water surface just before she enters the water = 2197.44 J

5) The speed with which she enters the water, v, is given from, v² = u² + 2·g·h

Where;

u = The initial velocity at the top of the cliff before she jumps= 0 m/s

∴ v² = 0² + 2 × 9.81 × 4 = 78.48

v = √78.48 ≈ 8.86 m/s

The speed with which she enters the water, v ≈ 8.86 m/s

What was birta system​
Amanda [17]

Answer:

The act of distributing land to an individual as salary, donation, present or reward is called birta. There was the Birta system during the Malla, Shah and Rana rule in the country.

Explanation:

Act: (a) "Birta land" means any kind of land obtained or possessed in such a way that the land is wholly exempt from the State Land Tax, or that the tax payable thereon is less than the tax imposed on Raikar land of similar type in the same place, and this term also includes any land as defined in Clauses
