A charge q1 of -5.00 × 10‐⁹ C and a charge q2 of -2.00 × 10‐⁹ C are separated by a distance of 40.0 cm. Find the equilibrium position for a third charge of +15.0 × 10‐⁹ C. P. S. 10-⁹ is 10^-9

Explanation:

The equilibrium position will be in between q₁ and q₂ .

Let this position of third charge be x distance from q₁

q₁ will pull the third charge towards it with force F₁

F₁ =9 x 10⁹x 5 x 10⁻⁹x15 x 10⁻⁹ / x²

= 675 x 10⁻⁹ / x²

q₂ will pull the third charge towards it with force F₂

F₂ =9 x 10⁹x 2 x 10⁻⁹x15 x 10⁻⁹ /( .40-x )²

= 270 x 10⁻⁹ / ( .40-x )²

For equilibrium

675 x 10⁻⁹ / x² = 270 x 10⁻⁹ / ( .40-x )²

5  / x² = 2 / ( .40-x )²

( .40-x )² / x² = 2/5 = .4

.4 - x / x = .632

.4 - x = .632x

.4 = 1.632 x

x = .245 .

24.5 cm

so third charge must be placed at 24.5 cm away from q₁ charge.

explanation:

considering the bohr theory, the type of connection that requires the transfer the answer conuldn't be right

dec 23, 2016 - a load of bricks weighing 680 n a distance of 10 m across a parking lot. if if the worker pushes the cart with a constant force of 209 n, what work= force x distance = 220 n x 10 m = 2200 n.m = 2200 j i don't know where the person got it from, but the initial part, work= force x distance me.
