Answer: The question has some details missing. here is the complete question ; Point charge 1.5 μC is located at x = 0, y = 0.30 m, point charge -1.5 μC is located at x = 0 y = -0.30m. What are (a)the magnitude and (b)direction of the total electric force that these charges exert on a third point charge Q = 5.0 μC at x = 0.40 m, y = 0
Explanation:
- a) First of all find the distance between the two charges;
- x = 0, y = 0.30 and x = 0.40 m, y = 0
hence, the force F = 2Kq1q2cosθ /r²...............equation 1
but cosθ = y/r = 0.3/0.5
cosθ = 0.6
plugging back to equation 1;
F = 2 x 9 x 10^9 x 1.5 x 10^-6 x 5 x 10^-6 /0.5^2
F = 540 x 10^-3
Magnitude of Force = 0.54N
b) Direction is at angle 90
Answer: send the message underwater because a more dense medium would make the sound travel faster.
Explanation:
Dolphins communicate using compression waves - longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves requires a medium to travel. A longitudinal wave transfers energy by the vibration of medium particles in the direction of the wave motion. Compression are the regions where density of the medium is higher and rarefaction is a low density region.
A longitudinal wave travels faster in a denser medium. It has maximum speed in solid and minimum in gas. Thus, to transfer message quickly to dolphin B., dolphin A should send the message underwater and not in air. This is because water has higher density than air. Molecules collide more quickly in water than in air and it takes less time for signal to travel.

Answer:
6.37 x 10³ Km
Explanation:
given,
Radius of earth = 6,370,000 m
we know,
1 km = 1000 m
1 m = 0.001 Km
6,370,000 m = 6,370,000 x 0.001
= 6,370 Km
The number 6,370 has 3 significant figure.
To transform this to an exponential number, it is necessary to move the decimal to the left so there is only one digit in front of the decimal point.
Representing the given number in scientific notation
= 6.37 x 10³ Km
