A 4.0 µC point charge and a 3.0 µC point charge are a distance L apart. Where should a third point charge be placed so that the

Rudik [331]

Answer:

Q must be placed at 0.53 L

Explanation:

Given data:

q_1 = 4.0 μC , q_2 = 3.0μC

Distance between charge is L

third charge q be placed at distance x cm from q1

The force by charge q_1 due to q is

$F1 = \frac{k q q_1}{x^2}$

$F1 = \frac{k q ( 4.0 μC )}{ x^2}$ ----1

The force by charge q_2 due to q is

$F2 = \frac{k q q_2}{(L-x)^2}$

$F2 = \frac{kq (3.0 μC)}{(L-x)^2}$ --2

we know that net electric force is equal to zero

F_1 = F_2

$\frac{k q ( 4.0 μC )}{x^2} =\frac{k q ( 3.0 μC )}{(l-x)^2}$

$\frac{4}{3}*(L-x)^2 = x^2$

$x = \sqrt{\frac{4}{3}*(L - x)$

$L-x = \frac{x}{1.15}$

$L = x + \frac{x}{1.15} = 1.86 x$

x = 0.53 L

Q must be placed at 0.53 L

You can describe the _______________ of an object by saying it is moving in a straight line or is curved around another object.

velikii [3]

Answer:

You can describe the motion of an object by saying it is moving in a straight line or is curved around another object. You can also describe where an object is by its position in relation to another object. The second object acts as a reference point. When an object changes position, you know it has motion. Motion can also be described by finding an object's speed or how fast or slow it moves in a certain amount of time. In addition, you can describe the object's speed AND direction together. This is called velocity

Explanation:

In the given answer-

Motion is defined as - the change in the movement or position of any object or body.

Position is said to be a place or somewhere or a location where any object or body is particularly placed/located or put on.

Reference point is a fixed point with regards to which any object or body changes its position. It is also called reference origin.

Speed is defined as the rate of any object covering certain distances. It is a scaler quantity (quantity which depends upon only magnitude).

Velocity is defined as the rate of speed per unit time. It is a vector quantity (quantity depending upon both magnitude and direction ).

A rope is shaken and produces 2 waves each second. Calculate the time period of the rope waves.

motikmotik

Answer:

0.5 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of circle (n) = 2

Time (t) = 1 s

Period =?

Period of a wave is simply defined as the time taken to make one complete oscillation. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

T = t / n

Whereb

T => is the period

t => is the space time

n => is the number of circle or oscillation.

With the above formula, we can obtain the period of the wave as follow:

Number of circle (n) = 2

Time (t) = 1 s

Period =?

T = t / n

T = 1 / 2

T = 0.5 s

Thus, the period of the wave is 0.5 s

How long will it take for a radioactive isotope with a decay constant of 0.15 (which means a half life of 4.6 days ) to decay to

jek_recluse [69]

Radioactive decay is given by:
N = No x e^(-λt)
We know that N/No has to be 0.05
λ = 0.15
0.05 = e^(-0.15t)
t = ln(0.05)/(-0.15)
t = 19.97 days

according to newton's first law of motion what is the reason for a ball throwing up in the airfall back to earth

skelet666 [1.2K]

The force of earth's gravitational field is always directed downwards (towards the center of the earth. When the ball is thrown up, it is going against the earth's gravitational field and so, the earth's gravitational force pulls it back down, accelerating it downwards.
