Two equal magnitude electric charges are separated by a distance d. The electric potential at the midpoint between these two cha

rges is zero. A student considering this situation says: "The electric field at the midpoint between the two charges will be zero also, since the two charges are opposite in sign, so the fields will equal but opposite, and add to zero." There is something wrong with the student's statement. Identify any problem(s) and explain how to correct it/them.

Answer:

The charges under study are of the same sign

The calculation of the electric field for each charge separately, there is no relationship between the charges

Explanation:

Let's start by writing the equation for the electric field

          E = k q / r²

where q is the charge under analysis and r the distance from this charge to a positive test charge.

When analyzing the statement the student has some problems.

* The charges under study are of the same sign, it does not matter if positive or negative.

* The calculation of the electric field for each charge separately, there is no relationship between the charges for the calculation of the electric field.

* What is added is the interaction of the electric field with the positive test charge, in this case each field has the opposite direction to the other, so the vector sum gives zero

The length of daylight on the moon is about __________.
Lyrx [107]
<span>The length of daylight on the moon is about 29.5 days.</span>

From the earliest days, the Moon has been there in the Solar System and there has never been a period when we couldn't gaze upward in the night sky and either observe the Moon hanging there, or realize that it would be back the precise one night from now (i.e. a New Moon).

 A day on the Moon keeps going as long as 29.5 Earth days. We can say that it would take 29.5 days for the Sun to move the distance over the sky and come back to its unique position once more.

Answer:

A is benthos

B is Nekton

Explanation:

I looked ip up lol

According to the internet:

Nekton are free-swimming animals that can move throughout the water column. Squid, most fishes, and marine mammals such as whales and seals are nekton. Benthos are organisms that inhabit the ocean floor. Some benthos, like crabs, sea stars, octopus, and lobsters, move from place to place.

Hope i helped!

How do I prove that a = v * dv/dx?
MaRussiya [10]
Your book has applied the chain rule to produce:
dv/dt = dv/dx * dx/dt
Now, we can get dv/dx by:
1) Differentiate
x = vt, with respect to v.
dx/dv = t
Now, if we take the inverse of this, we can obtain dv/dx
dv/dx = 1/t
This is also proven by the fact that dv/dx is the change in velocity and if you multiply it by dv/dx, which is equivalent to dividing by the change in time, as we just proved, then you obtain acceleration.

K2O Use IUPAC nomenclature rules to properly identify this compound. A) potassium oxide B) dipotassium oxide C) potassium (I) ox
Lostsunrise [7]
This molecule is formed between a not very electronegative metal and a very electronegative nonmetal which means it should be an ionic compound which would mean that it would have the name of potassium oxide.

look up the naming rules for ionic compounds.  I would explain it here but I don't know how to explain naming the anion part of the molecule other than it ends in ide since it is a monoatomic anion which is why oxide is in the name instead of oxygen.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear or needs more explanation.
