Answer from: rebecabosca

$18.22\ cm$ from $3.5\ nC$ charge.

Explanation:

Given

The magnitude of the first charge is $Q_1=3.5\ nC$

The magnitude of the second charge is $Q_2=5\ nC$

$-6\ nC$ charge must be placed in between the two charges to establish equilibrium

The electrostatic force is given by

$F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

Equilibrium will be established when force by both the charges balance out each other. Suppose $-6\ nC$ is placed at a distance of cm from $3.5\ nC$ . So, we can write

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{k(3.5)(-6)}{x^2}=\dfrac{k(5)(-6)}{(40-x)^2}$

Canceling similar terms

$\Rightarrow \left [ \dfrac{40-x}{x}\right ]^2=\dfrac{10}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{40-x}{x}=\sqrt{\dfrac{10}{7}}=1.195\\\\\Rightarrow 40-x=1.195x\\\Rightarrow 40=2.195x\\\Rightarrow x=18.22\ cm$

Thus, the equilibrium position is $18.22\ cm$ from $3.5\ nC$ charge.

Answer from: Quest

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
