Answer:
Explanation:
The force on the point charge q exerted by the rod can be found by Coulomb's Law.
Unfortunately, Coulomb's Law is valid for points charges only, and the rod is not a point charge.
In this case, we have to choose an infinitesimal portion on the rod, which is basically a point, and calculate the force exerted by this point, then integrate this small force (dF) over the entire rod.
We will choose an infinitesimal portion from a distance 'x' from the origin, and the length of this portion will be denoted as 'dx'. The charge of this small portion will be 'dq'.
Applying Coulomb's Law:
The direction of the force on 'q' is to the right, since both charges are positive, and they repel each other.
Now, we have to write 'dq' in term of the known quantities.
Now, substitute this into 'dF':
Now we can integrate dF over the rod.
Answer:
g = 11.2 m/s²
Explanation:
First, we will calculate the time period of the pendulum:
where,
T = Time period = ?
t = time taken = 135 s
n = no. of swings in given time = 98
Therefore,
T = 1.38 s
Now, we utilize the second formula for the time period of the simple pendulum, given as follows:
where,
l = length of pendulum = 54 cm = 0.54 m
g = acceleration due to gravity on the planet = ?
Therefore,
<u>g = 11.2 m/s²</u>
Answer:
156.96 N
Explanation:
F=ma where m is the mass and a is acceleration
Substituting 16 Kg for m and 9.81 m/s2 for g then
F=16*9.81= 156.96 N
That's the definition of pressure ... force on a given area.
So when that force increases, it's an increase in pressure.
Answer:
meters per second squared
Explanation:
Because acceleration is equal to velocity over time where velocity is meters per second and time is measured in seconds making acceleration ms-2
