The gravitational force between <em>m₁</em> and <em>m₂</em> has magnitude

F_{1,2} = \dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{x^2}

while the gravitational force between <em>m₁</em> and <em>m₃</em> has magnitude

F_{1,3} = \dfrac{Gm_1m_3}{(15-x)^2}

where <em>x</em> is measured in m.

The mass <em>m₁</em> is attracted to <em>m₂</em> in one direction, and attracted to <em>m₃</em> in the opposite direction such that <em>m₁</em> in equilibrium. So by Newton's second law, we have

F_{1,2} - F_{1,3} = 0

Solve for <em>x</em> :

\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{x^2} = \dfrac{Gm_1m_3}{(15-x)^2} \\\\ \dfrac{m_2}{x^2} = \dfrac{m_3}{(15-x)^2} \\\\ \dfrac{(15-x)^2}{x^2} = \dfrac{m_3}{m_2} = \dfrac{60\,\rm kg}{40\,\rm kg} = \dfrac32 \\\\ \left(\dfrac{15-x}x\right)^2 = \dfrac32 \\\\ \left(\dfrac{15}x-1\right)^2 = \dfrac32 \\\\ \dfrac{15}x - 1 = \pm \sqrt{\dfrac32} \\\\ \dfrac{15}x = 1 \pm \sqrt{\dfrac32} \\\\ x = \dfrac{15}{1\pm\sqrt{\dfrac32}}

The solution with the negative square root is negative, so we throw it out. The other is the one we want,

x \approx 6.74\,\mathrm m

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

0.0786

Explanation:

zero after the decimal place is not a significant figure since it comes before the real integer "7".

"5 " in ten thousandth place is rounded off to "6" because the next digit is also another "5",

so we get the three sfg 0.0786

poizon [28]

Answer:

Here ball and rod will repel each other as they are of similar charges

Explanation:

As we know that the two charges attract or repel each other by electrostatic force

This force is given as

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

so we know if two charges are similar in nature then they will repel each other and if the two charges are opposite in nature then they will attract each other

So here when rod touch the ball then it transfer its charge to the ball and due to similar charges in ball and rod they both repel each other

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

150000000000 m

0.0000005 seconds

33.33 ns

Explanation:

Speed of electromagnetic waves through vacuum = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Echo time = 1000 seconds

Echo time is the time taken to reach the object and come back to the observer

Distance = Speed×Time

Distance=3\times 10^8\times \frac{1000}{2}=150000000000\ m

Venus is 150000000000 m away from Earth

Time = Distance / Speed

Time=\frac{75}{3\times 10^8}=0.00000025\ seconds

Echo time will be twice the time

Echo\ time=2\times 0.00000025=0.0000005\ seconds

The echo time will be 0.0000005 seconds

Difference in time = Difference in distance / Speed

\Delta t=\frac{\Delta d}{v}\\\Rightarrow \Delta t=\frac{10}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow \Delta=33.33\ ns

The accuracy by which I will be able to measure the echo time is 33.33 ns

Which image illustrates why dark clothing helps to keep you warm on a cool, sunny day?
xeze [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

I suppose it has to do with the way the diagram is drawn. The heat does not reflect which makes both A and B incorrect.

C would have nothing to do with either reflection or refraction.

That only leaves D which is the answer.
