Suppose future astronauts are living on a Martian base when a major solar flare occurs. How long will it be before the charged particles ejected from the Sun during the flare reach them?

755.7 seconds

Explanation:

Distance between Sun and Mars = 226.71 * 10^9 m

Speed of light = 3 * 10^8 m/s

Speed = distance/time

Time = distance/speed

Time = (226.71 * 10^9)/(3 * 10^8)

Time = 755.7 s

a charge 3q is at the origin, and a charge −2q is on the positive x axis at x=a. part a where on the x-axis would you place a third charge so it would experience no net electric force? enter an expression for the exact answer, which will involve a square-root sign. (do not enter an approximate decimal answer.)
