Answer:

The value of Q is - 8 C

Explanation:

Given;

the magnitude of first charge = 2 C

position of the first charge = 0

         _ (2m)                            0(+2C)                         +(2m)(Q)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                E₁ --------------------------------->                                    

            <------------------------------------------------------------------ E₂

E₁ and E₂ are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction

| E₂ | = | E₁ |

\frac{K*Q}{r^2} = \frac{K*2}{r^2} \\\\\frac{Q}{(4)^2} = \frac{2}{(2)^2}\\\\\frac{Q}{16} =\frac{2}{4}\\\\\frac{Q}{16} =\frac{1}{2}\\\\2Q = 16\\\\Q = 8 \ C

Thus, since E₂ is opposite in direction to E₁, the Q = - 8 C

Can someone help me figure out how to do a function formula for fx and fy
masha68 [24]

Answer: How to solve for FX and FY?

to find fx(x, y): keeping y constant, take x derivative; • to find fy(x, y): keeping x constant, take y derivative. f(x1,...,xi−1,xi + h, xi+1,...,xn) − f(x) h . ∂y2 (x, y) ≡ ∂ ∂y ( ∂f ∂y ) ≡ (fy)y ≡ f22. similar notation for functions with > 2 variables.

How light is channelled down an optical fibre
coldgirl [10]

Explanation:

Suppose you want to shine a flashlight beam down a long, straight hallway. Just point the beam straight down the hallway -- light travels in straight lines, so it is no problem. What if the hallway has a bend in it? You could place a mirror at the bend to reflect the light beam around the corner. What if the hallway is very winding with multiple bends? You might line the walls with mirrors and angle the beam so that it bounces from side-to-side all along the hallway. This is exactly what happens in an optical fiber.

The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by constantly bouncing from the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle called total internal reflection. Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the core, the light wave can travel great distances.

However, some of the light signal degrades within the fiber, mostly due to impurities in the glass. The extent that the signal degrades depends on the purity of the glass and the wavelength of the transmitted light (for example, 850 nm = 60 to 75 percent/km; 1,300 nm = 50 to 60 percent/km; 1,550 nm is greater than 50 percent/km). Some premium optical fibers show much less signal degradation -- less than 10 percent/km at 1,550 nm.

What is the fundamental frequency (in Hz) of a 0.632 m long tube, open at both ends, on a day when the speed of sound is 344 m/s
Greeley [361]

Answer:

f=272.15Hz

Explanation:

Given data

Length of tube L=0.632 m

Speed of sound v=344 m/s

To find

Fundamental frequency f

Solution

The fundamental frequency of the tube can be given as:

f=\frac{v}{2L}\\ f=\frac{344m/s}{2(0.632m)}\\ f=272.15Hz
