There are only two charged particles in a particular region. Particle 1 carries a charge of 3q and is located on the negative x-

axis a distance d from the origin. Particle 2 carries a charge of -2q and is located on the positive x-axis a distance d from the origin.
Required:
Where is it possible to have the net field caused by these two charges equal to zero?

Answer:

The net field will be the sum of the fields created by each charge.

where the charge Q in a position r' is given by:

E(r) = k*Q/(r - r')^2

Where k is a constant, and r is the point where we are calculating the electric field.

Then for the charge 3q, in the position r₁ = (-d, 0, 0) the electric field will be:

E₁(r) = k*3q/(r - r₁)^2

While for the other charge of -2q in the position r₂ = (d, 0, 0)

The electric field is:

E₂(r) = -k*2*q/(r - r₂)^2

Then the net field at the point r is:

E(r) = E₁(r) + E₂(r) = k*3q/(r - r₁)^2 + -k*2*q/(r - r₂)^2

E(r) = k*q*( 3/(r - r₁)^2 - 2/(r - r₂)^2)

Then if the we want to find the points r = (x, y, z) such that:

E(r) = 0 = k*q*( 3/(r - r₁)^2 - -k*2*q/(r - r₂)^2)

Then we must have:

0 = ( 3/(r - r₁)^2 - 2/(r - r₂)^2)

Also remember that the distance between two points:

(x, y, z) and (x', y', z') is given by:

D = √( (x - x')^2 + (y - y)^2 + (z -z')^2)

Then we can rewrite:

r - r₁ = √( (x - (-d))^2 + (y - 0 )^2 + (z -0)^2)

       = √( (x + d))^2 + y^2 + z^2)

and

r - r₂ =  √( (x - d)^2 + (y - 0 )^2 + (z -0)^2)

       = √( (x - d))^2 + y^2 + z^2)

Replacing that in our equation we get:

0 = ( 3/(√( (x + d))^2 + y^2 + z^2))^2 - -k*2*q/(√( (x - d))^2 + y^2 + z^2))^2)

0 = (3/((x + d))^2 + y^2 + z^2) - 2/ (x - d))^2 + y^2 + z^2)

We want to find the values of x, y, z such that the above equation is true.

2/ (x - d))^2 + y^2 + z^2) = (3/((x + d))^2 + y^2 + z^2)

2*[((x + d))^2 + y^2 + z^2] = 3*[(x - d))^2 + y^2 + z^2]

2*(x + d)^2  + 2*y^2 + 2*z^2 = 3*(x - d)^2 + 3*y^2 + 3*z^2

2*(x + d)^2 - 3*(x - d)^2 =  3*y^2 + 3*z^2 -  2*y^2 - 2*z^2

2*(x + d)^2 - 3*(x - d)^2  = y^2 + z^2

2*x^2 + 2*2*x*d + 2*d^2 -  3*x^2 + 3*2*x*d - 3*d^2 = y^2 + z^2

-x^2 + 10*x*d - d^2 = y^2 + z^2

we can rewrite this as:

- ( x^2 - 10*x*d + d^2) =  y^2 + z^2

now we can add and subtract 24*d^2 inside the parenthesis to get

- ( x^2 - 10*x*d + d^2 + 24*d^2 - 24*d^2) =  y^2 + z^2

-( x^2 - 2*x*(5d) + 25d^2 - 24d^2) = y^2 + z^2

-(x^2 - 2*x*(5d) + (5*d)^2) + 24d^2 = y^2 + z^2

The thing inside the parenthesis is a perfect square:

-(x - 5d)^2 + 24d^2 = y^2 + z^2

we can rewrite this as:

24d^2 = y^2 + z^2 + (x - 5d)^2

This equation gives us the points (x, y, z) such that the electric field is zero.

Where we need to replace two of these values to find the other, for example, if y = z = 0

24d^2 = (x - 5d)^2

√(24d^2)  = x - 5d

√24*d = x - 5d

√24*d + 5d = x

so in the point (√24*d + 5d, 0, 0) the net field is zero.

All biomes don’t have the same level of biodiversity. What seems to be the optimal conditions for high biodiversity?
irinina [24]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The optimal conditions for high biodiversity seem to be a <u>warm temperature</u> and <u>wet climates</u>.

<em>The tropical areas of the world have the highest biodiversity and are characterized by an average annual temperature of above 18 </em>^oC<em> and annual precipitation of 262 cm. The areas are referred to as the world's biodiversity hotspots. </em>

Consequently, it follows logically that the optimal conditions for high biodiversity would be a warm temperature of above 18 ^oC and wet environment with annual precipitation of not less than 262 cm.

The variation in temperature and precipitation across biomes can thus be said to be responsible for the variation in the level of biodiversity in them.

A particle (m = 4.3 × 10^-28 kg) starting from rest, experiences an acceleration of 2.4 × 10^7 m/s^2 for 5.0 s. What is its de B
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Wavelength, \lambda=1.28\times 10^{-14}\ m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the particle, m=4.3\times 10^{-28}\ kg

Acceleration of the particle, a=2.4\times 10^7\ m/s^2

Time, t = 5 s

It starts from rest, u = 0

The De Broglie wavelength is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{mv}

v = a × t

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{mat}

\lambda=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-34}}{4.3\times 10^{-28}\times 2.4\times 10^7\times 5}

\lambda=1.28\times 10^{-14}\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

How is energy transferred during the water cycle? Question 1 options: Water gains energy during evaporation and releases it duri
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Water gains energy during evaporation and releases it during condensation in the atmosphere

Explanation:

In the water cycle, heat energy is gained or lost by water as it undergoes various processes in the cycle.

In evaporation, water molecules gains energy because the molecules of water vibrate faster and become more energetic. Hence they are able to escape into the atmosphere from the surface of the liquid.

In condensation, the molecules of gaseous water looses energy and becomes liquid.

Hence, water gains energy during evaporation and releases it during condensation in the atmosphere.

A woman experiences an electrical shock. The electrons making the shock come from the A woman experiences an electrical shock. T
Zinaida [17]

The electrons making the shock come from the women's body.

<h3>What is Electric shock ?</h3>

When a high voltage current flows through the body, electrical shock results. When someone unintentionally touches an electrical source, this typically occurs. Treatment for both internal and exterior burns may be necessary as part of the aftercare.

The nervous system may be impacted by a shock.

The tissue that makes up nerves presents extremely minimal resistance to the flow of an electric charge. Electric shocks that impact nerves can cause pain, tingling, numbness, weakness, or trouble moving a limb. These effects might disappear with time or remain for good.

How to Prevent from Electrical Shocks –

  • Keep the Appliances Away from Moisture and Water.
  • Never Connect or Disconnect Under Load.
  • Be Careful with Capacitors.
  • Use Insulated Tools.
  • Turn Off the Power.
  • Check for Improper or Faulty Wiring.
  • Fix Extension Cord Problems.
