Answer : The correct option is, (b) longitudinal wave

Explanation :

Longitudinal waves : It is defined as the waves in which the particles of the medium move in the direction of the wave.

Transverse wave : It is defined as the waves in which the particles of the medium travel perpendicularly to the direction of the wave.

Surface wave : It is defined as a combination of transverse and longitudinal waves.

From the given image we conclude that, this illustration depict the longitudinal wave because the particles of the medium move in the direction of the wave.

Hence, the correct option is, (b) longitudinal wave

A charge of 25 nC is uniformly distributed along a straight rod of length 3.0 m that is bent into a circular arc with a radius o

Greeley [361]

Answer:

E = 31.329 N/C.

Explanation:

The differential electric field $dE$ at the center of curvature of the arc is

$dE = k\dfrac{dQ}{r^2}cos(\theta )$ <em>(we have a cosine because vertical components cancel, leaving only horizontal cosine components of E. )</em>

where $r$ is the radius of curvature.

Now

$dQ = \lambda rd\theta$ ,

where $\lambda$ is the charge per unit length, and it has the value

$\lambda = \dfrac{25*10^{-9}C}{3.0m} = 8.3*10^{-9}C/m.$

Thus, the electric field at the center of the curvature of the arc is:

$E = \int_{\theta_1}^{\theta_2} k\dfrac{\lambda rd\theta }{r^2} cos(\theta)$

$E = \dfrac{\lambda k}{r} \int_{\theta_1}^{\theta_2}cos(\theta) d\theta.$

Now, we find $\theta_1$ and $\theta_2$ . To do this we ask ourselves what fraction is the arc length 3.0 of the circumference of the circle:

$fraction = \dfrac{3.0m}{2\pi (2.3m)} = 0.2076$

and this is

$0.2076*2\pi =1.304$ radians.

Therefore,

$E = \dfrac{\lambda k}{r} \int_{\theta_1}^{\theta_2} cos(\theta)d\theta= \dfrac{\lambda k}{r} \int_{0}^{1.304}cos(\theta) d\theta.$

evaluating the integral, and putting in the numerical values we get:

$E = \dfrac{8.3*10^{-9} *9*10^9}{2.3} *(sin(1.304)-sin(0))\\$

$\boxed{ E = 31.329N/C.}$

Which of the following would decrease the resistance in a wire?

padilas [110]

<u>Increase the thickness of the wire</u> would decrease the resistance in a wire

Explanation:

Thicker wires have a larger cross-section that increases the surface area with which electrons can flow unimpeded. The thicker the wire, therefore, the lower the resistance.

Thin wires have very high resistance the reason the thin tungsten in a bulb glows because it is heated from the high resistance of many electrons trying to pass through a very small cross-section.

A 15kg hoop with a radius of 3 m is rolling at on a level surface when it reaches a 25 degree incline. If it reaches a height of

dimulka [17.4K]

The initial velocity of the hoop is determined as 8.854 m/s.

<h3>Conservation of energy</h3>

The initial velocity of the hoop can be determined from the principle of conservation of energy.

Final potential energy = Initial kinetic energy

P.E = K.E

mgh = ¹/₂mv²

gh = ¹/₂v²

2gh = v²

√2gh = v

√(2 x 9.8 x 4) = v

8.854 m/s = v

Thus, the initial velocity of the hoop is determined as 8.854 m/s.
