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.

Voices of swimmers at a pool travel 400 m/s through the air and 1,600 m/s underwater. The wavelength changes from 2 m in the air
frosja888 [35]

The frequency of the wave has not changed.

In fact, the frequency of a wave is given by:

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where v is the wave's speed and \lambda is the wavelength.

Applying the formula:

- In air, the frequency of the wave is:

f=\frac{400 m/s}{2 m}=200 Hz

- underwater, the frequency of the wave is:

f=\frac{1600 m/s}{8 m}=200 Hz

So, the frequency has not changed.

Russell bradley carried 207 kg of bricks 3.65 m up a ladder. If the amount of work required to perform that task is used to comp
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done in carrying bricks

mgh

= 207 x 9.8 x 3.65

-= 7404.4 J

Work done in compressing gas

PΔV

Pressure x change in volume

1.8 x 10⁶ ΔV = 7404.4

ΔV  = 7404.4  / 1.8 x 10⁶m³

= 4113.33 x 10⁻⁶ m³

= 4113.33 cc

Which process is an example of a physical change?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Option A

Carrots are cut into small pieces and mixed into a salad

Explanation:

When physical changes occur, the actual composition remain the same but the molecules are re-arranged. Therefore, when carrots are cut into smaller pieces and mixed into salad, there will be no chemical reaction hence the actual composition will remain the same despite being cut and molecules in it re-arranged. Considering the other options, new substances are formed hence they are deemed as chemical changes. Therefore, option A is correct.
