Two fat black arrows are swimming along together, when they see a single skinny black arrow coming toward them. They are afraid of strangers, and they know that the skinny one must be mean and tough if it's not afraid to travel alone. So they turn to the side and get out of the skinny arrow's way.
Answer:
Explanation:
Let the equilibrium position of third charge be x distance from q₁.
Force on third charge due to q₁
= 9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ / x²
Force on third charge due to q₂
= 9 x 10⁹ x 2 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ /( .40-x)²
Both the force will act in opposite direction and for balancing , they should be equal.
9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ / x² = 9 x 10⁹ x 2 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ /( .40-x)²
5 / x² = 2 / ( .4 - x )²
Taking square root on both sides
2.236 / x = 1.414 / .4 - x
2.236 ( .4 - x ) = 1.414 x
.8944 - 2.236 x = 1.414 x
.8944 = 3.65 x
x = .245 m
24.5 cm
So the third charge should be at a distance of 24.5 cm from q₁ .
By studying meteorites which are the most ancient material in space.
they absorb sunlight and turn it into glucose I think.
The correct answer is: 1792g or 1800g.
