Along the line connecting the two charges, at what distance from the charge q1 is the total electric field from the two charges

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

$r = d (\frac{\sqrt {q_1}}{\sqrt{q_1} + \sqrt{q_2}})$

Explanation:

Here two charges are placed at distance "d" apart

now the net value of electric field at some position between two charges will be ZERO

so we will have

electric field due to charge 1 = electric field due to charge 2

$E_1 = E_2$

Let the position where net field is zero will lie at distance "r" from q1

$\frac{kq_1}{r^2} = \frac{kq_2}{(d-r)^2}$

now we will have

$\frac{(d - r)^2}{r^2} = \frac{q_2}{q_1}$

now square root both sides

$\frac{d}{r} - 1 = \sqrt{\frac{q_2}{q_1}}$

now we have

$\frac{d}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{q_2}{q_1}} + 1$

so we have

$r = d (\frac{\sqrt {q_1}}{\sqrt{q_1} + \sqrt{q_2}})$

Who invented the wedge simple machine and why?

Lelu [443]

Answer:

Gene Sarazen began to win tournaments in 1935 with a new club he had invented that was specialized for sand play. He is hailed as the inventor of the sand wedge.

Explanation:

A wedge is a triangular shaped tool, and is a portable inclined plane, and one of the six classical simple machines. It can be used to separate two objects or portions of an object, lift up an object, or hold an object in place. It functions by converting a force applied to its blunt end into forces perpendicular (normal) to its inclined surfaces. The mechanical advantage of a wedge is given by the ratio of the length of its slope to its width.[1][2] Although a short wedge with a wide angle may do a job faster, it requires more force than a long wedge with a narrow angle.

The force is applied on a flat, broad surface. This energy is transported to the pointy, sharp end of the wedge, hence the force is transported.

The wedge simply transports energy and collects it to the pointy end, consequently breaking the item. In this way, much pressure is put on a thin area.

Sound waves travel fastest through a A) gas. B) liquid. C) solid. D) vacuum.

earnstyle [38]

Sound waves travel faster through <em>solids</em> than they do through gases or liquids. <em>(C) </em>They don't travel through vacuum at all.

Example:

Speed of sound in normal air . . . around 340 m/s

Speed of sound in water . . . around 1,480 m/s

Speed of sound in iron . . . around 5,120 m/s

1. A student is biking to school. She travels 0.7 km north, then realizes something has fallen out of her bag.

Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

(a) Displacement of an object is the shortest path covered by it.

In this problem, a student is biking to school. She travels 0.7 km north, then realizes something has fallen out of her bag. She travels 0.3 km south to retrieve her item. She then travels 0.4 mi north to arrive at school.

0.4 miles = 0.64 km

displacement = 0.7-0.3+0.64 = 1.04 km

(b) Average velocity = total displacement/total time

t = 15 min = 0.25 hour

$v=\dfrac{1.04\ km}{0.25\ h}\\\\v=4.16\ km/h$
