The electric potential at the origin of the xy coordinate system is negative infinity

<h3>What is the electric field due to the 4.0 μC charge?</h3>

The electric field due to the 4.0 μC charge is E = kq/r² where

  • k = electric constant = 9.0 × 10 Nm²/C²,
  • q = 4.0 μC = 4.0 × 10 C and
  • r = distance of charge from origin = x₁ - 0 = 2.0 m - 0 m = 2.0 m

<h3>What is the electric field due to the -4.0 μC charge?</h3>

The electric field due to the -4.0 μC charge is E = kq'/r² where

  • k = electric constant = 9.0 × 10 Nm²/C²,
  • q' = -4.0 μC = -4.0 × 10 C and
  • r = distance of charge from origin = 0 - x₂ = 0 - (-2.0 m) = 0 m + 2.0 m = 2.0 m

Since both electric fields are equal in magnitude and directed along the negative x-axis, the net electric field at the origin is

E" = E + E'

= -2E

= -2kq/r²

<h3>What is the electric potential at the origin?</h3>

So, the electric potential at the origin is V = -∫₂⁰E".dr

= -∫₂⁰-2kq/r².dr

Since E and dr = dx are parallel and r = x, we have

= -∫₂⁰-2kqdxcos0/x²

= 2kq∫₂⁰dx/x²

= 2kq[-1/x]₂⁰

= -2kq[1/x]₂⁰

= -2kq[1/0 - 1/2]

= -2kq[∞ - 1/2]

= -2kq[∞]

= -∞

So, the electric potential at the origin of the xy coordinate system is negative infinity

What is the meaning of diversity and find evidence in the source which show that all South Africans should accept and honour div
maksim [4K]

Diversity involves the inclusion of people which have various backgrounds and differences.

<h3>What is Diversity?</h3>

This involves people from a range of different social and ethnic backgrounds and of different genders, etc living in a given area at a given time.

It is best for all South Africans to accept and honour diversity as discrimination is wrong and individuals are unique and equal.

Select the situation for which the torque is the smallest.
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

e. The torque is the same for all cases.

Explanation:

The formula for torque is:

τ = Fr

where,

τ = Torque

F = Force = Weight (in this case) = mg

r = perpendicular distance between force an axis of rotation

Therefore,

τ = mgr

a)

Here,

m = 200 kg

r = 2.5 m

Therefore,

τ = (200 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(2.5 m)

<u>τ = 4900 N.m</u>

<u></u>

b)

Here,

m = 20 kg

r = 25 m

Therefore,

τ = (20 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(25 m)

<u>τ = 4900 N.m</u>

<u></u>

c)

Here,

m = 8 kg

r = 62.5 m

Therefore,

τ = (8 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(62.5 m)

<u>τ = 4900 N.m</u>

<u></u>

Hence, the correct answer will be:

<u>e. The torque is the same for all cases.</u>

The outlaw that was <span>executed by hanging "in the spring of '25" is identified as the HIGHWAYMAN.

This is one of the characters in the song, "American Remains", sang by The Highwaymen. The group consisted of </span><span>Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. Other characters in the song were a sailor, a dam builder, and a pilot of a starship.
</span>
This is the first stanza of the song:

"I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride 
<span>With sword and pistol by my side </span>
<span>Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade </span>
<span>Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade </span>
<span>The b*stards hung me in the spring of twenty-five </span>

A particle starts from rest and has an acceleration function 5 − 10t m/s2 . (a) What is the velocity function? (b) What is the p
frez [133]

Explanation:

It is given that,

A particle starts from rest and has an acceleration function as :

a(t)=(5-10t)\ m/s^2

(a) Since, a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}

v = velocity

dv=a.dt

v=\int(a.dt)

v=\int(5-10t)(dt)

v=5t-\dfrac{10t^2}{2}=5t-5t^2

(b) v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}

x = position

x=\int v.dt

x=\int (5t-5t^2)dt

x=\dfrac{5}{2}t^2-\dfrac{5}{3}t^3

(c) Velocity function is given by :

v=5t-5t^2

5t-5t^2=0

t = 1 seconds

So, at t = 1 second the velocity of the particle is zero.
