A snowball with a mass of 85 g hits the top hat of a 1.5 m tall snowman and sticks to it. the hat and the snowball, with a combi

ned mass of 220 g, fall off together at a horizontal velocity 8.0 m/s.
a.how fast was the snowball moving before the impact?
b.how far from the snowman did the top hat land?

Part (a): Velocity of the snowball
By conservation of momentu;
m1v1 + m2v2 = m3v3,

Where, m1 = mass of snowball, v1, velocity of snowball, m2 = mass of the hat, v2 = velocity of the hat, m3 = mass of snowball and the hat, v3 = velocity of snowball and the hut.

v2 = 0, and therefore,
85*v1 + 0 = 220*8 => v1 = 220*8/85 = 20.71 m/s

Part (b): Horizontal range
x = v3*t
But,
y = vy -1/2gt^2, but y = -1.5 m (moving down), vy =0 (no vertical velocity), g = 9.81 m/s^2

Substituting;
-1.5 = 0 - 1/2*9.81*t^2
1.5 = 4.905*t^2
t = Sqrt (1.5/4.905) = 0.553 seconds

Then,
x = 8*0.553 = 4.424 m

If the total charge on a rod of length 0.4 m is 2.6 nc, what is the magnitude of the electric field at a location 3 cm from the
Nana76 [90]
Let the rod be on the x-axes with endpoints -L/2 and L/2 and uniform charge density lambda (2.6nC/0.4m = 7.25 nC/m). 

The point then lies on the y-axes at d = 0.03 m. 

from symmetry, the field at that point will be ascending along the y-axes. 


A charge element at position x on the rod has distance sqrt(x^2 + d^2) to the point. 

Also, from the geometry, the component in the y-direction is d/sqrt(x^2+d^2) times the field strength. 


All in all, the infinitesimal field strength from the charge between x and x+dx is: 


dE = k lambda dx * 1/(x^2+d^2) * d/sqrt(x^2+d^2) 


Therefore, upon integration, 


E = k lambda d INTEGRAL{dx / (x^2 + d^2)^(3/2) } where x goes from -L/2 to L/2. 


This gives:


E = k lambda L / (d sqrt((L/2)^2 + d^2) ) 


But lambda L = Q, the total charge on the rod, so 


E = k Q / ( d * sqrt((L/2)^2 + d^2) )

Light refracts because
NeTakaya

Answer:

it travels at a different refractive index.

Explanation:

for example when light travels into water, it slows down, causing it to continue to travel at a different or another angle or direction. hope this helped!

What does the number, or density, of field lines on a source charge indicate?
Harrizon [31]

Hello.

The answer: C. amount of charge on the source charge

The field lines all represent the movements of field charges.  The more crowded the field lines or the more density of electric field the higher is the magnitude of the source charge.

Have a  nice day.
