Thanks for the sites, which I understand. But I know how to get the electric force in the +x direction but not in the -x direction. Could I do that to make it go in the -x direction, the charge of q1 could be +4.00 nC since electric field lines go away from positive charges? Any help would be...
Homework Statement
A negative point charge q1 = -4.00 nC is on the x-axis at x = 0.60 m. A second point charge q2 is on the x-axis at x=-1.20 m.
What must the sign and magnitude of q2 be for the net electric field at the origin to be 50.0 N/C in the +x direction be?
What must the sign...
Homework Statement

Homework Statement
Two Positive charges q1 = q2= 2.0 microC are located at x=0, y = .30 m and x =0, y =-.30m. Third point charge Q =4.0 microC is located at x=.40 m, y = 0. What is the net force magnitude and the direction on charge q1 exerted by the other two charges.

I tried that, so I took the derivative of 1.24(1/L) and then integrated from 0 to 1.50 and did not work...any other explanation or is there something i am missing

A 1.50-MHz sound wave travels through a pregnant woman’s abdomen and is reflected from the fetal heart wall of her unborn baby. The heart wall is moving toward the sound receiver as the heart beats. The reflected sound is then mixed with the transmitted sound, and 85 beats...
ok, i did what you said about the 2pi but even if I did that, I get the same velocity. My answer then is 23.8 s when I do velocity divided by length. And, yes by tension of the string do you mean like just multiplying the mass of the rope by 9.8m/s^2, I did that and that does not seem to...
