Origin Definition and 668 Threads

Country of origin (COO) represents the country or countries of manufacture, production, design, or brand origin where an article or product comes from. For multinational brands, COO may include multiple countries within the value-creation process.
There are differing rules of origin under various national laws and international treaties. Country of origin labelling (COOL) is also known as place-based branding, the made-in image or the "nationality bias." In some regions or industries, country of origin labelling may adopt unique local terms such as terroir used to describe wine appellations based on the specific region where grapes are grown and wine manufactured.
Place-based branding has a very ancient history. Archaeological evidence points to packaging specifying the place of manufacture dating back to some 4,000 years ago. Over time, informal labels evolved into formal, often regulated labels providing consumers with information about product quality, manufacturer name and place of origin.

    A +12 nC charge is located at the origin

    A +12 nC charge is located at the origin. What are the electric fields at the positions (x,y) = (5.0 cm, 0 cm), (-5.0 cm, 5.0 cm), (-5.0 cm, -5.0 cm)? Write each electric field vector in component form. I got the answer for the first one, but I can't figure out how to get the answers for the...

    Finding Electric Field at Point x Away from Origin

    How do I find the electric field at a point p distance x away from the origin? I guess the y component cancels. I should use the equation E = kq/r2 and add the electric field made by the 3 charges as vectors, but how do I do that? My attempt: r = x/√(x2 + a2) cosθ = x/r Ex =...

    Can the speed of light truly be constant from its origin of motion?

    Now I know light motion is consistence from any frame of reference and can’t accelerate since it is mass less and lacks momentum. So the speed of light is always c. What about the point where light started? So does that imply that the speed of light was c at the point it was starting? That means...

    Is there a deeper explanation for Newton's Third Law?

    Hey, quick question. Is there any way that we can sort of "explain" Newton's Third Law as a corollary of Newton's 2nd (consv. of momentum)? I mean, if object A is interacting with object B, and initially the total momentum is p_A + p_B, then change in p_A = -change in p_B for momentum to be...
