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 .

during conversion water to ice,forces of attraction between molecules. OPTIONS:1.)Decreases 2.)Increases 3.)Does not change 4.)C
In-s [12.5K]

because water is loosely packed but when it is cold it becomes closely packed in order to form ice and thus the force attraction between them also increase.

What is the approximate uncertainty in the area of a circle of radius 4.5×10^4 cm? Express your answer using one significant fig
Igoryamba

Answer:

A=6.36\times 10^5\ m^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of the circle, r=4.5\times 10^4\ cm=4.5\times 10^2\ m

The area of the circle is given by :

A=\pi r^2

A=\pi (4.5\times 10^2\ m)^2

A=636172.51\ m^2

or

A=6.36\times 10^5\ m^2

As there is no uncertainty given in the radius of the circle. So, the area of the circle is 6.36\times 10^5\ m^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

The function of a capacitor in an electric circuit is to?
Tema [17]

Well let's see:

A). No.  A capacitor doesn't measure anything.

B). No.  The power delivered to the circuit is determined by
              the battery or power supply and all the things in
              the circuit that dissipate energy.  A capacitor doesn't
              do any of these things.

C). No.  If any current actually flows between its plates,
             the capacitor is shot and can't do its job, and
             must be replaced.

D). Yes. A capacitor stores charges on its plates, and
              electrical energy in the field between its plates.

A 5.5 kg box is pushed across the lunch table. The acceleration of the box is 4.2 m/s2. What was the net force applied to the bo
Bezzdna [24]
Use this numbers that you are given and plug them into the formule for net force

Net force= m*a (mass times acceleration)

Therefore the net force is equal to (5.5 kg)*(4.2 m/s^2)= 23.1 N

Answer: Net force= 23.1 N
