The coordinate of zero electric field of the two charges is (9.4 cm, 34.6 cm).

<h3>Coordinate points of zero electric field</h3>

The electric field strength of a charge is defined as force per unit charge.

E= \frac{kq}{r^2} \\\\E = \frac{kq_1}{(x -6)^2} - \frac{kq_2}{(12 -x)^2} =0\\\\

At zero net electric field, the electric field of the two charges will be equal.

Let the point of zero electric field = x

\frac{9 \times 10^9 \times 8 \times 10^{-12}}{(x -6)^2} - \frac{9 \times 10^9 \times 5 \times 10^{-12} }{(12 -x)^2} =0\\\\\frac{0.072}{x^2-12x + 36} - \frac{0.045}{144 -24x + x^2} =0\\\\0.045(x^2 -12x + 36) = 0.072(144-24x + x^2)\\\\0.045x^2 - 0.54x + 1.62= 10.368 - 1.728x + 0.072x^2\\\\0.027x^2 -1.188x + 8.748 = 0\\\\x = 9.4 \ cm, \ or \ 34.6\ cm

Thus, the coordinate of zero electric field of the two charges is (9.4 cm, 34.6 cm).

Use evidence to explain why glass refracted more light than air or water
agasfer [191]

Explanation:

The refraction is the change in the direction of light while travelling from the one medium to another due to having different speeds in different mediums.

To determine how much light gets refracted, it depends on the density of substance and the wavelength and the angle at which light enters the substance.

Light travels more slowly in denser medium than the rarer medium. The refractive index of glass is more than water or air. Light gets refracted more in this. When the light travels from rarer to denser then the light will get bend towards the normal. When the light travels from denser to rarer then the light will get bend away from the normal.      

Glass is more denser than air or water. Water is more denser than the air. When light travels from air to glass then the light gets bends towards the normal. When the light travels from glass to the air then light gets bends away from the normal.

Therefore, the light gets refracted more in the glass than air to water.

Consider a system consisting of the Earth, a vertical spring attached to the Earth, and a mass attached to the other end of the
Liula [17]

Answer:

The external force leads to an increase on gravitational and spring potential energies.

Explanation:

The system consists of a mass, resort and Earth. According to the Principle of Energy Conservation there is a potential energy as a consequence of the interaction between Earth and the mass and spring potential energy because of the spring deformation and, besides, the existence of work due to an external force:

U_{g,A} + U_{k,A} + W_{ext} = U_{g,B} + U_{k,B}

W_{ext} = (U_{g,B}-U_{g,A}) + (U_{k,B}-U_{k,A})

F\cdot \Delta r = \frac{G\cdot m\cdot M}{r_{o}-\Delta r} - \frac{G\cdot m \cdot M}{r_{o}} +\frac{1}{2}\cdot k \cdot (x_{o}+\Delta r)^{2} - \frac{1}{2} \cdot k \cdot (x_{o})^{2}

F\cdot \Delta r = G\cdot m \cdot M \cdot \left(\frac{1}{r_{o}-\Delta r}-\frac{1}{r_{o}}   \right)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot k \cdot [(x_{o}+\Delta r)^{2} -x_{o}^{2}]

The external force leads to an increase on gravitational and spring potential energies.

You make a telephone call from New York to a friend in London. Estimate how long it will take the electrical signal generated by
nadezda [96]

Answer:

a)  t = 2 10⁻² s ,  t = 2.4 10-1 s

Explanation:

In this exercise they indicate the delay in two signals

a) A signal travels on an electrical cable, between New York and London.

The wave formed in this wire for the signal. This wave travels at the speed of light, c = 3 108 m / s, so the delay is very small

                t = d / c

               t = 6000 10³/3 10⁸

               t = 2 10⁻² s

b) The signal points to a satellite in geostationary orbit

                   distance traveled = √ (2 36000 10³)² + 6000²

                  distance = 72 10⁶ m

the waiting time is

                t = d / c

                t = 72 10⁶/3 10⁸

               t = 2.4 10-1 s

    we can see that the signal sent by the satellites has more delay because its distance is much greater
