Two charged particles are located on the x axis. The first is a charge 1Q at x 5 2a. The second is an unknown charge located at

x 5 13a. The net electric field these charges produce at the origin has a magnitude of 2keQ /a2. Explain how many values are possible for the unknown charge and find the possible values.

Answer:

Q_2 = +/- 295.75*Q

Explanation:

Given:

- The charge of the first particle Q_1 = +Q

- The second charge = Q_2

- The position of first charge x_1 = 2a

- The position of the second charge x_2 = 13a

- The net Electric Field produced at origin is E_net = 2kQ / a^2

Find:

Explain how many values are possible for the unknown charge and find the possible values.

Solution:

- The Electric Field due to a charge is given by:

                               E = k*Q / r^2

Where, k: Coulomb's Constant

            Q: The charge of particle

            r: The distance from source

- The Electric Field due to charge 1:

                               E_1 = k*Q_1 / r^2

                               E_1 = k*Q / (2*a)^2

                               E_1 = k*Q / 4*a^2

- The Electric Field due to charge 2:

                               E_2 = k*Q_2 / r^2

                               E_2 = k*Q_2 / (13*a)^2

                               E_2 = +/- k*Q_2 / 169*a^2

- The two possible values of charge Q_2 can either be + or -. The Net Electric Field can be given as:

                               E_net = E_1 + E_2

                               2kQ / a^2 = k*Q_1 / 4*a^2 +/- k*Q_2 / 169*a^2

- The two equations are as follows:

        1:                   2kQ / a^2 = k*Q / 4*a^2 + k*Q_2 / 169*a^2

                               2Q = Q / 4 + Q_2 / 169

                               Q_2 = 295.75*Q

        2:                    2kQ / a^2 = k*Q / 4*a^2 - k*Q_2 / 169*a^2

                               2Q = Q / 4 - Q_2 / 169

                               Q_2 = -295.75*Q

- The two possible values corresponds to positive and negative charge Q_2.

A wave is 8 meters long and has a frequency of 3 Hz. Find speed
Olenka [21]

Answer:

The speed is 24 \frac{meter}{s}

Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance that propagates through a certain medium or in a vacuum, with transport of energy but without transport of matter.

The wavelength is the minimum distance between two successive points of the wave that are in the same state of vibration. It is expressed in units of length (m).

Frequency is the number of vibrations that occur in a unit of time. Its unit is s⁻¹ or hertz (Hz).

The speed of propagation is the speed with which the wave propagates in the middle, that is, the magnitude that measures the speed at which the wave disturbance propagates along its displacement. Relate wavelength (λ) and frequency (f) inversely proportionally using the following equation:

v = f * λ.

In this case, λ= 8 meter and f= 3 Hz

Then:

v= 3 Hz* 8 meter

So:

v= 24 \frac{meter}{s}

EMERGENCY! PLEASE HELP!
hichkok12 [17]

Answer: Volume = 1080m^3

Explanation:

Given that the prism has a 15 m by 18 m rectangular base and a height of 4 m

Volume is the product of length, breath and height. That is

Volume = L × B × H

Where

L = 18 m

B = 15m

H = 4m

Using the formula above gives:

Volume V = 18 × 15 × 4

V = 1080 m^3

two negative charges that are both -3.0 C push each other apart with a force of 19.2 N how far apart are the charges
Hoochie [10]
The electrostatic force between two charges q1 and q2 is given by
F=k_e  \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}
where k_e =8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant and r is the distance between the two charges.

If we use F=19.2 N and q1=q2=-3.0 C, we can find the value of r, the  distance between the two charges by re-arranging the previous formula:
r= \sqrt{k_e \frac{q_1 q_2}{F} }= \sqrt{ 8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2} \frac{(-3.0C)^2}{19.2 N} } =6.49 \cdot 10^4 m=64.9 km
