In BPC

tan\theta =a/b = 3/4

\theta = tan^-1(0.75)

\theta = 36.87 deg

BP = sqrt(a^2 + b^2) = sqrt((3)^2 + (4)^2) = 5 m

Eb = k Q/BP^2 = (9 x 10^9) (16 x 10^-9)/5^2 = 5.76 N/C

Ea = k Q/AP^2 = (9 x 10^9) (16 x 10^-9)/4^2 = 9 N/C

Ec = k Q/CP^2 = (9 x 10^9) (16 x 10^-9)/3^2 = 16 N/C

Net electric field along X-direction is given as

Ex = Ea + Eb Cos36.87 = (9) + (5.76) Cos36.87 = 13.6 N/C

Net electric field along X-direction is given as

Ey = Ec + Eb Sin36.87 = (16) + (5.76) Sin36.87 = 19.5 N/C

Net electric field is given as

E = sqrt(Ex^2 + Ey^2) = sqrt((13.6)^2 + (19.5)^2) = 23.8 N/C

lisabon 2012 [21]
<span>Because P = W ÷ t, and W = F*t, you can substitute (W) for (F*t). Then substitute (F) for (m*a). This will leave you with P = (m*a*d)/t. Since you need velocity, youd want to solve for a so you can use v = a*t. a = (P*t)/(m*d) therefore, substituting a in v = a*t, v = (P*t*t)/(m*d)</span>

 How does ​energy change (transforms) as the mass is dropping?
olganol [36]

Answer:

Mass has total mechanical energy, which is the sum of kinetic and potential energy. as the mass is dropping, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy so mechanical energy is preserved If there is no friction. If there is friction, some of the mechanical energy is lost as heat energy so it changes.

Andrew [12]

An enzyme called amylase breaks down starches (complex carbohydrates) into sugars, which your body can more easily absorb. Saliva also contains an enzyme called lingual lipase, which breaks down fats.

How does temperature increase?
vovikov84 [41]
Increasing the temperature increases reaction rates because of the disproportionately increase in the number of high energy collisions.
It's only these collisions (possessing at least the activation energy for the reaction)
which results in a reaction!
