a)The total resistance of the rod R = 2.1 * 10^(3)Ω

b) current Density when voltage ΔV is applied between two ends is J(x) = =\frac{12\sigma_o\Delta V}{L}

c) Steady-state electric field is E(x) = \frac{12\Delta V}{L^3} x^2\hat{i}

a) Consider a small slice of the rod of thickness dx situated at a distance x from the center of the rod.

L = length of rod = 2cm, d= diameter = 0.5cm,  

Given \sigma(x)=\sigma_oL^2/x^2     where σ is the rod's conductivity.

\sigma_o = 4 * 10^{-2}(\Omega.m)^{-1}        (given)

The resistance dR of this small section of the rod is

dR=\frac{\rho_rdx}{A}=\frac{dx}{\sigma_rA} = \frac{4x^{2} dx}{\sigma_o L^2\pi d^2}

The total resistance of the rod can be found by the integral of these smalls sections over the whole rod

R = \int\limits^{L/2}_{-L/2}  \, dR = \int\limits^{L/2}_{-L/2}  \,\frac{4x^2dx}{\sigma_oL^2\pi d^2}=\frac{4x^3}{3\sigma_oL^2\pi d^2} |_{-L/2}^{L/2} = \frac{L}{3\sigma_o\pi d^2}

⇒R = (2*10^(-2)) / (3 * 4 * 10 ^(-2)* π * 0.5 * 10^(-2))

⇒R = 2.1 * 10^(3) Ω

Thus the total resistance of the rod R = 2.1 * 10^(3) Ω

b)The current density when voltage ΔV is applied between two ends is given by

J(x) =\frac{I}{A}=\frac{4\Delta V}{R\pi d^2}  =\frac{12\sigma_o\Delta V}{L}

c) the steady-state electric field is  

E(x) = \frac{J(x)}{\sigma} =\frac{12\sigma_o \Delta V / L}{\sigma_o L^2 / x^2} \hat{i} = \frac{12\Delta V}{L^3} x^2\hat{i}

Whenever a musician plays a guitar, they pluck one of the guitar strings to produce a standing wave in the string. Then pinch do
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

It's due to the distance from either ends of strings origin...

Explanation:

As we know that waves behave moving in a flow from one side to another side and this gives a prospective of motion. Suppose a wave is pinched from the near one end of a guitar then due to the distortion created by the point of tie of strings the wave super imposes and moves with a velocity v and produces a wave frequency f. as we the pinching go down to the center the wave stabilizes itself to a stationary origin right at the center and the frequency then changes accordingly as moving down on the string.

A wave has a frequency of 15,500 Hz and a wavelength of 0.20 m. What is the
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

3100 m/s

Explanation:

The relationship between frequency and wavelength of a wave is given by the wave equation:

v=f\lambda

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is its frequency

\lambda is the wavelength

For the wave in this problem,

f = 15,500 Hz

\lambda=0.20 m

Therefore, the wave speed is

v=(15500)(0.20)=3100 m/s

Why do you think the outer planets have such extensive systems of rings and moons, while the inner planets do not?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Because of immense gravity

Explanation:

The formation of the Solar system was a very dynamic process. A lot of matter was thrown towards the outer solar system which further formed the Gas giants: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The size of these outer planets is huge so is their gravity.

Because of their huge gravity a lot of matter which was scattered in the outer solar system got attracted towards them. This matter is what make the rings of the outer planets. Also, because of immense gravity they captured larger bodies thus making them their Moons.
