At what position or positions on the x-axis is the electric field zero?

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The electric field will be zero at x = ± ∞.

Explanation:

Suppose, A -2.0 nC charge and a +2.0 nC charge are located on the x-axis at x = -1.0 cm and x = +1.0 cm respectively.

We know that,

The electric field is

$E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}$

The electric field vector due to charge one

$\vec{E_{1}}=\dfrac{kq_{1}}{r_{1}^2}(\hat{x})$

The electric field vector due to charge second

$\vec{E_{2}}=\dfrac{kq_{2}}{r_{2}^2}(-\hat{x})$

We need to calculate the electric field

Using formula of net electric field

$\vec{E}=\vec{E_{1}}+\vec{E_{2}}$

$\vec{E_{1}}+\vec{E_{2}}=0$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{kq_{1}}{r_{1}^2}(\hat{x})+\dfrac{kq_{2}}{r_{2}^2}(-\hat{x})=0$

$\dfrac{kq_{1}}{r_{1}^2}(\hat{x})=\dfrac{kq_{2}}{r_{2}^2}(\hat{x})$

$(\dfrac{r_{2}}{r_{1}})^2=\dfrac{q_{2}}{q_{1}}$

$\dfrac{r_{2}}{r_{1}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{q_{2}}{q_{1}}}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{2.0+x}{x}=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{2.0}{2.0}}$

$2.0+x=x$

If x = ∞, then the equation is be satisfied.

Hence, The electric field will be zero at x = ± ∞.

Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases. in other words, there is more air pushing down on you at sea level, and th

Nutka1998 [239]

At sea level, the size amid the 2 alkanes lets for pentane to simmer at a lower temperature than hexane. Phenol has a higher boiling point due to hydrogen bonding High altitude would have the same order while low pressure only cuts the temperature at which a solvent boils. Boiling has to do with molecular size, the occurrence/nonappearance of hydrogen bonds, and other steric issues.
So the answer would be pentane high altitude, hexane high altitude, hexane sea level, hexanol sea level. In order of boil first to boil last. This is clarified because altitude has a better effect on vapor pressure (and hence boiling points) than inter-molecular forces.

To meet a U.S. Postal Service requirement, employees' footwear must have a coefficient of static friction of 0.5 or more on a sp

Answer:

0.79 s

Explanation:

We have to calculate the employee acceleration, in order to know the minimum time. According to Newton's second law:

$\sum F_x:f_{max}=ma_x\\\sum F_y:N-mg=0$

The frictional force is maximum since the employee has to apply a maximum force to spend the minimum time. In y axis the employee's acceleration is zero, so the net force is zero. Recall that $f_{max}=\mu N$

Now, we find the acceleration:

$\mu N=ma_x\\\mu mg=ma_x\\a_x=\mu g\\a_x=0.83(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})\\a_x=8.134\frac{m}{s^2}$

Finally, using an uniformly accelerated motion formula, we can calculate the minimum time. The employee starts at rest, thus his initial speed is zero:

$x=v_0t+\frac{1}{2}a_xt^2\\2x=a_xt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2x}{a}}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2(3.2m)}{8.134\frac{m}{s^2}}}\\t=0.79 s$
