Answer from: SmoothCruzito16

149,700,000 km (= 1.50 x 10⁸ km)

Explanation:

Given,

Speed of light, c = 300,000 km/s

Time Taken = 8 min 19 s = 499 seconds

Recall, Distance = Speed x Time

= 300,000 km/s x 499 s

= 149,700,000 km

= 1.50 x 10⁸ km

Answer from: frank2010

149,700,000 km

Explanation:

First, convert the time to seconds.

8 min 19 sec = (8 min) (60 sec/min) + 19 sec = 499 sec

Distance = rate × time

d = (300,000 km/s) × (499 s)

d = 149,700,000 km

Answer from: Quest

the total distance that martina travels that day is

(distance from home to mom's office) plus (distance from mom's office to school)

plus (distance from school to library) plus (distance from library to friend's house)

plus (distance from friend's house to martina's house).

(we don't know what any of these distance actually is.)

Answer: a charge of -1.0 × 10⁻⁴ c must be placed at x = 26 m.the sign of the charge will be the same sign as the -4.0 µc charge.======electricstatic force between two point charges is given by $f = \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$ where k is coulomb's constant, 8.99×10⁹ n·m²/c², q₁ and q₂ are the point charges, and r is the distance between the two point charges.assign positive to q₁let q₁ = 6.0 µc, q₂ = -4.0 µc, q₀ represent the charge at the origin, and q₃ represent this new charge to place.the charge at the origin q₀ would experience the following force f₀₁ from q₁, with r = 6.0 m (note that 1 µc = 10⁻⁶ c) $f_{01} = \dfrac{kq_0q_1}{(\text{6.0 m})^2}$ the force from q₂ $f_{02} = \dfrac{kq_0q_2}{(\text{15 m})^2}$ the force from q₃ $f_{03} = \dfrac{kq_0q_1}{(\text{26 m})^2}$ the net force on the origin charge, q₀, has to be zero for no electrostatic forcehaving an equation where k and q₀ can be divided out of the equation will allow us to solve for q₃ $\begin{aligned} f_{net} & = 0\\ f_{01} + f_{02} + f_{03} & = 0 \\ \dfrac{kq_0q_1}{(\text{6.0 m})^2} + \dfrac{kq_0q_2}{(\text{15 m})^2} + \dfrac{kq_0q_3}{(\text{26 m})^2} & = 0 \\ kq_0 \left( \dfrac{q_1}{(\text{6.0 m})^2} + \dfrac{q_2}{(\text{15 m})^2} + \dfrac{q_3}{(\text{26 m})^2}\right) & = 0 \\ \dfrac{q_1}{(\text{6.0 m})^2} + \dfrac{q_2}{(\text{15 m})^2} + \dfrac{q_3}{(\text{26 m})^2} & = 0 \end{aligned}$ isolating: $\begin{aligned} \dfrac{q_3}{(\text{26 m})^2} & = -\dfrac{q_1}{(\text{6.0 m})^2} - \dfrac{q_2}{(\text{15 m})^2} \\ q_3 & = -(\text{26 m})^2\left(\dfrac{q_1}{(\text{6.0 m})^2} + \dfrac{q_2}{(\text{15 m})^2}\right) \\ q_3 & = -(\text{26 m})^2\left(\dfrac{6.0\times10^{-6} \text{ c}}{(\text{6.0 m})^2} + \dfrac{-4.0\times10^{-6} \text{ c}}{(\text{15 m})^2}\right) \\ q_3 & = -1.0064888 \times 10^{-4}\text{ c} \\ q_3 & = -1.0\times 10^{-4}\text{ c} \end{aligned}$ a charge of -1.0 × 10⁻⁴ c must be placed at x = 26 m.the sign of the charge will be the same as the -4.0 µc charge
