Question is missing. Found on internet the complete text of the problem:

"Two very large parallel sheets are 5.00 cm apart. Sheet A carries a uniform surface charge density of −9.70µC/m2, and sheet B, which is to the right or A, carries a uniform charge density of −11.5 µC/m2. Assume the sheets are large enough to be treated as infinite. Find the magnitude and direction of the net electric field these sheets produce at a point (a) 4.00 cm to the right of sheet A; (b) 4.00 cm to the left of sheet A; (c) 4.00 cm to the right of sheet B."

Solution:

(a) The electric field produced by a uniformly charged sheet at any distance is given by
$E= \frac{\sigma}{2 \epsilon _0}$
where $\sigma$ is the charge density and $\epsilon _0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m$ is the vacuum permittivity.

First of all, let's compute the fields generated by the two sheets separately. The two densities of charge are $\sigma_A = -9.70 \mu C/m^2=-9.70\cdot 10^{-6}C/m^2$ and $\sigma_B = -11.5 \mu C/m^2 = -11.5\cdot 10^{-6} C/m^2$ .

Sheet a gives an electric field of
$E_A= \frac{\sigma_A}{2\epsilon _0}= \frac{-9.7\cdot 10^{-6} C/m^2}{2\cdot 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m} = -5.48\cdot 10^5 V/m$
where the negative sign means the field points towards sheet A, in any point of the space.

The electric field produced by sheet B is given by:
$E_B = \frac{\sigma_A}{2\epsilon _0}= \frac{-11.5\cdot 10^{-6} C/m^2} {2\cdot 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m} =-6.50\cdot 10^{5} V/m$
and again, the negative sign means that the field at any point of the space points towards sheet B.

The point at which we have to compute the total field is at 4.00 cm right of sheet A. Since the two sheets are 5.00cm far apart, it means that this point is between the two sheets. Therefore, in this point the two fields point into opposite directions. Therefore, the total field is
$E=E_1-E_2= -5.48\cdot 10^5 V/m - (-6.50\cdot 10^{5} V/m)=1.02\cdot 10^5 V/m$
And the direction is towards sheet B, since it has a field with stronger intensity.

(b) Field at 4.00 cm to the left of sheet A: in this point of the space, the two fields point towards same direction (on the right, towards both sheet A and sheet B). So, the total field is simply the sum of the two fields:
$E=E_1+E_2=-11.98\cdot 10^5 V/m$
towards right.

(c) Field at 4.00 cm to the right of sheet B. As before, the two fields in this point have same direction (both towards left, pointing towards both sheet A and sheet B). And so, the total field is simply the sum of the two fields:
$E=E_1+E_2=11.98 \cdot 10^5 V/m$
towards left.

The frequency of vibrations of a vibrating violin string is given by f = 1 2l t ρ where l is the length of the string, t is its tension, and ρ is its linear density.† (a) find the rate of change of the frequency with respect to the following. (i) the length (when t and ρ are constant) (ii) the tension (when l and ρ are constant) (iii) the linear density (when l and t are constant) (b) the pitch of a note (how high or low the note sounds) is determined by the frequency f. (the higher the frequency, the higher the pitch.) use the signs of the derivatives in part (a) to determine what happens to the pitch of a note for the following. (i) when the effective length of a string is decreased by placing a finger on the string so a shorter portion of the string vibrates df dl 0 and l is ⇒ f is ⇒ (ii) when the tension is increased by turning a tuning peg df dt 0 and t is ⇒ f is ⇒ (iii) when the linear density is increased by switching to another string df dρ 0 and ρ is ⇒ f is ⇒

Tafari worked one summer on a ship that set weather buoys in the ocean. he watched how one of the buoys moved in the water. describe which parts of the wave would cause the buoy to bob up and down. which wave property determined how fast the buoys bobbed in the water? he observed that when the wind blew harder, the ocean waves were larger, and the buoys moved away from the ship. what effect, if any, did the waves have on how far the buoys moved? explain your answer.
