Answer:
x = 0.775m
Explanation:
Conceptual analysis
In the attached figure we see the locations of the charges. We place the charge q₃ at a distance x from the origin. The forces F₂₃ and F₁₃ are attractive forces because the charges have an opposite sign, and these forces must be equal so that the net force on the charge q₃ is zero.
We apply Coulomb's law to calculate the electrical forces on q₃:
(Electric force of q₂ over q₃)
(Electric force of q₁ over q₃)
Known data
q₁ = 15 μC = 15*10⁻⁶ C
q₂ = 6 μC = 6*10⁻⁶ C
Problem development
F₂₃ = F₁₃
(We cancel k and q₃)
q₂(2-x)² = q₁x²
6×10⁻⁶(2-x)² = 15×10⁻⁶(x)² (We cancel 10⁻⁶)
6(2-x)² = 15(x)²
6(4-4x+x²) = 15x²
24 - 24x + 6x² = 15x²
9x² + 24x - 24 = 0
The solution of the quadratic equation is:
x₁ = 0.775m
x₂ = -3.44m
x₁ meets the conditions for the forces to cancel in q₃
x₂ does not meet the conditions because the forces would remain in the same direction and would not cancel
The negative charge q₃ must be placed on x = 0.775 so that the net force is equal to zero.
This question involves the concepts of the law of conservation of energy and kinetic energy.
The girl's fastest speed is "3.7 m/s".
According to the law of conservation of energy, the girl will have the fastest speed at mean position, which will be calculated as follows:
Loss in Potential Energy = Gain in Kinetic Energy
where,
v = maximum speed = ?
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
Δh = change in height = 1.3 m - 0.6 m = 0.7 m
Therefore,
<u>v = 3.7 m/s</u>

Answer:
The displacement of the volleyball is 2.62 m
Explanation:
Given;
initial velocity of the volleyball, u = 7.5 m/s
final velocity of the volleyball, v = 2.2 m/s
displacement of the volleyball, d = ?
Apply the following kinematic equation;
v² = u² - 2gd
2gd = u² - v²
Therefore, the displacement of the volleyball is 2.62 m
