Three charges lie along the x axis. The positive charge q1 = 15 μC is at x= 2.0 m and the positive charge q2 = 6.0μC is at the o
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

x = 0.775m

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

In the attached figure we see the locations of the charges. We place the charge q₃ at a distance x from the origin. The forces F₂₃ and F₁₃ are attractive forces because the charges have an opposite sign, and these forces must be equal so that the net force on the charge q₃ is zero.

We apply Coulomb's law to calculate the electrical forces on q₃:

F_{23} = \frac{k*q_{2}*q_{3}}{x^2} (Electric force of q₂ over q₃)

F_{13} = \frac{k*q_{1}*q_{3}}{(2-x)^2} (Electric force of q₁ over q₃)

Known data

q₁ = 15 μC = 15*10⁻⁶ C

q₂ = 6 μC = 6*10⁻⁶ C

Problem development

F₂₃ = F₁₃

\frac{k*q_{2}*q_{3}}{x^2} = \frac{k*q_{1}*q_{3}}{(2-x)^2} (We cancel k and q₃)

\frac{q_2}{x^2}=\frac{q_1}{(2-x)^2}

q₂(2-x)² = q₁x²

6×10⁻⁶(2-x)² = 15×10⁻⁶(x)² (We cancel 10⁻⁶)

6(2-x)² = 15(x)²

6(4-4x+x²) = 15x²

24 - 24x + 6x² = 15x²

9x² + 24x - 24 = 0

The solution of the quadratic equation is:

x₁ = 0.775m

x₂ = -3.44m

x₁ meets the conditions for the forces to cancel in q₃

x₂ does not meet the conditions because the forces would remain in the same direction and would not cancel

The negative charge q₃ must be placed on x = 0.775 so that the net force is equal to zero.

What measures air pressure?
Brums [2.3K]

Answer: barometer

Explanation: An instrument that measures air pressure is called a barometer. One of the first barometers was developed in the 1600s. The original instrument had mercury in the small basin, with an upside down glass tube placed in the mercury.

An automobile engineer is revising a design for a conical chamber that was originally specified to be 12 inches long with a circ
Sidana [21]
The volume of the cylinder is: 
V= pi* (r^2) * h. 

So the volume is = pi * (5.7/2)^2 * 12 = 306.2 in^2. 
Since it is scaled up by the factor of 1.5, so we have to multiply each dimension with 1.5. 
That means the diameter will be 8.55 and the height will be 18. so the scaled up volume will be

=pi * ((5.7*1.5)/2)^2 * (12*1.5)

The answer then would have to be 1033.5

11) Arthur and Betty start walking toward each other when they are 100 m apart. Arthur has a speed of 3.0 m/s and Betty has a sp
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

100 m

Explanation:

Arthur and Betty should be walking the same amount of time if they start walking at the same time and stop when they meet = t

Speed of Arthur = 3 m/s

Speed of Betty = 2 m/s

Distance = Speed × time

Distance covered by Arthur = 3t

Distance covered by Betty = 2t

The distance covered by both of them will be 100 m

3t+2t=100\\\Rightarrow 5t=100\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{100}{5}\\\Rightarrow t=20\ s

The speed of dog is 5 m/s

Spot is running back and forth at 5 m/s for 20 seconds

In 20 seconds the distance covered by the dog is

\mathbf{5\times 20}=\mathbf{100\ m}
