Answer:

38 cm from q1(right)

Explanation:

Given, q1 = 3q2 , r = 60cm = 0.6 m

Let that point be situated at a distance of 'x' m from q1.

Electric field must be same from both sides to be in equilibrium(where EF is 0).

=> k q1/x² = k q2/(0.6 - x)²

=> q1(0.6 - x)² = q2(x)²

=> 3q2(0.6 - x)² = q2(x)²

=> 3(0.6 - x)² = x²

=> √3(0.6 - x) = ± x

=> 0.6√3 = x(1 + √3)

=> 1.03/2.73 = x

≈ 0.38 m = 38 cm = x

a 2,000 pound car is driving at 60 miles/hour along a straight, level road. what is the net force acting on the car?

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law, the net force is equal to the mass times the acceleration. Since the car is not accelerating, the net force is 0.

A parallel-plate capacitor has plates of area A. The plates are initially separated by a distance d, but this distance can be va

ohaa [14]

Answer:

d' = d /2

Explanation:

Given that

Distance = d

Voltage =V

We know that energy in capacitor given as

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}CV^2$

$C=\dfrac{\varepsilon _oA}{d}$

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{\varepsilon _oA}{d}\times V^2$

If energy become double U' = 2 U then d'

$U'=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{\varepsilon _oA}{d'}\times V^2$

$2U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{\varepsilon _oA}{d'}\times V^2$

$2\times \dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{\varepsilon _oA}{d}\times V^2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{\varepsilon _oA}{d'}\times V^2$

2 d ' = d

d' = d /2

So the distance between plates will be half on initial distance.

if the Earth's core provides the heat that drives plate tectonics, then what will eventually happen as the Earth's core cools do

Eduardwww [97]

If the Earth's core cools down, then one of the first things that would happen is that plate tectonic activity would slow down. Over time, the Earth would then dry up into this ball of dry soil because the heat of the Earth's core drives water up to the surface. Since the crust would be void of majority of liquid, it would shrink by an unknown amount.
