A rod bent into the arc of a circle subtends an angle 2θ at the center P of the circle (see below). If the rod is charged unifor
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Qsinθ/4πε₀R²θ

Explanation:

Let us have a small charge element dq which produces an electric field E. There is also a symmetric field at P due to a symmetric charge dq at P. Their vertical electric field components cancel out leaving the horizontal component dE' = dEcosθ = dqcosθ/4πε₀R² where r is the radius of the arc.

Now, let λ be the charge per unit length on the arc. then, the small charge element dq = λds where ds is the small arc length. Also ds = Rθ.

So dq = λRdθ.

Substituting dq into dE', we have

dE' = dqcosθ/4πε₀R²

= λRdθcosθ/4πε₀R²

= λdθcosθ/4πε₀R

E' = ∫dE' = ∫λRdθcosθ/4πε₀R² = (λ/4πε₀R)∫cosθdθ from -θ to θ

E' = (λ/4πε₀R)[sinθ] from -θ to θ

E' = (λ/4πε₀R)[sinθ]

= (λ/4πε₀R)[sinθ - sin(-θ)]

= (λ/4πε₀R)[sinθ + sinθ]

= 2(λ/4πε₀R)sinθ

= (λ/2πε₀R)sinθ

Now, the total charge Q = ∫dq = ∫λRdθ from -θ to +θ

Q = λR∫dθ = λR[θ - (-θ)] = λR[θ + θ] = 2λRθ

Q = 2λRθ

λ = Q/2Rθ

Substituting λ into E', we have

E' = (Q/2Rθ/2πε₀R)sinθ

E' = (Q/θ4πε₀R²)sinθ

E' = Qsinθ/4πε₀R²θ where θ is in radians

A 64.0 cm long cord is vibrating in such a manner that it forms a standing wave with two antinodes. (The cord is fixed at both e
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

the wave represents the second harmonic.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the cord, L = 64 cm

The first harmonic of a cord fixed at both ends is given as;

f_o = \frac{V}{2L}

The wavelength of a standing wave with two antinodes is calculated as follows;

L = N---> A -----> N    +   N ----> A -----> N

Where;

N is node

A is antinode

L = N---> A -----> N    +   N ----> A -----> N =  λ/2  + λ/2

L = λ

The harmonic is calculated as;

f = \frac{V}{\lambda} \\\\f = \frac{V}{L} = 2(\frac{V}{2L} ) = 2(f_o) = 2^{nd} \ harmonic

Therefore, the wave represents the second harmonic.

L = λ

What was the major shortcoming of rutherford’s model of the atom?
lisabon 2012 [21]

The major shortcoming of Rutherford's model was that it was incomplete. It did not explain how the atom's negatively charged electrons are distrubuted in the space surronding its positively charged nucleus. A form of energy that exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space
