Answer:
Explanation:
Here two charges are placed at distance "d" apart
now the net value of electric field at some position between two charges will be ZERO
so we will have
electric field due to charge 1 = electric field due to charge 2
Let the position where net field is zero will lie at distance "r" from q1
now we will have
now square root both sides
now we have
so we have
Answer:
a) v₀ = 32.64 m / s , b) x = 59.68 m
Explanation:
a) This is a projectile launching exercise, we the distance and height of the cliff
x = v₀ₓ t
y = t - ½ g t²
We look for the components of speed with trigonometry
sin 43 = v_{oy} / v₀
cos 43 = v₀ₓ / v₀
v_{oy} = v₀ sin 43
v₀ₓ = v₀ cos 43
Let's look for time in the first equation and substitute in the second
t = x / v₀ cos 43
y = v₀ sin 43 (x / v₀ cos 43) - ½ g (x / v₀ cos 43)²
y = x tan 43 - ½ g x² / v₀² cos² 43
1 / v₀² = (x tan 43 - y) 2 cos² 43 / g x²
v₀² = g x² / [(x tan 43 –y) 2 cos² 43]
Let's calculate
v₀² = 9.8 60 2 / [(60 tan 43 - 25) 2 cos 43]
v₀ = √ (35280 / 33.11)
v₀ = 32.64 m / s
.b) we use the vertical distance equation with the speed found
y = t - ½ g t²
.y = v₀ sin43 t - ½ g t²
25 = 32.64 sin 43 t - ½ 9.8 t²
4.9 t² - 22.26 t + 25 = 0
t² - 4.54 t + 5.10 = 0
We solve the second degree equation
t = (4.54 ±√(4.54 2 - 4 5.1)) / 2
t = (4.54 ± 0.46) / 2
t₁ = 2.50 s
t₂ = 2.04 s
The shortest time is when the cliff passes and the longest when it reaches the floor, with this time we look for the horizontal distance traveled
x = v₀ₓ t
x = v₀ cos 43 t
x = 32.64 cos 43 2.50
x = 59.68 m
