Explain why it is easier to climb a mountain on a zigzag path rather than one straight up the side.

GaryK [48]

Although a zig zag pattern going up a mountain means you walk further, the incline of the slope is a lot less so you don't have to work as hard.

A line of charge starts at x = +x0 and extends to positive infinity. The linear charge density is λ = λ0x0/x. Determine the elec

kari74 [83]

Explanation:

it is given that, the linear charge density of a charge, $\lambda=\dfrac{\lambda_ox_o}{x}$

Firstly, we can define the electric field for a small element and then integrate for the whole. The very small electric field is given by :

$dE=\dfrac{k\ dq}{x^2}$ ..........(1)

The linear charge density is given by :

$\lambda=\dfrac{dq}{dx}$

$dq=\lambda.dx=\dfrac{\lambda_ox_o}{x}dx$

Integrating equation (1) from x = x₀ to x = infinity

$E=\int\limits^\infty_{x_o} {\dfrac{k\lambda_ox_o}{x^3}}.dx$

$E=-\dfrac{k\lambda_ox_o}{2}\dfrac{1}{x^2}|_{x_o}^\infty}$

$E=\dfrac{k\lambda_o}{2x_o}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which is an example of electrical energy being converted or changed into light energy?

Lera25 [3.4K]

When I see the word "which" at the beginning of your question,
I just KNOW that there's a list of choices printed right there
next to he part that you copied, and for some mysterious
reason, you decided not to let us see the choices.

Any flashlight, light bulb, laser, or spark ... like lightning ...
converts some electrical energy into some light energy.

A meter stick is suspended vertically at a pivot point 22 cm from the top end. It is rotated on the pivot until it is horizontal

suter [353]

Answer:

5.82812 rad/s

Explanation:

L = Length of meter stick = 1 m = 100 cm

$m_c$ = The center of mass of the stick = $\frac{L}{2}-0.22=0.5-0.22=0.28\ m$

$\omega$ = Angular velocity

Moment of inertia of the system is given by

$I=I_c+mr^2\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{mL^2}{12}+mr^2\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{m1^2}{12}+m0.28^2\\\Rightarrow I=m(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)$

As the energy in the system is conserved

$mgh=I\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow mgh=m(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow gh=(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{2gh}{\frac{1}{12}+0.0784}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 9.81\times 0.28}{\frac{1}{12}+0.0784}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=5.82812\ rad/s$

The maximum angular velocity is 5.82812 rad/s
