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.

Answer:

E=-K_e\dfrac{\lambda_0 }{2x_0}N/C

Explanation:

We know that electric field given as

E=K_e\int_{x_1}^{x_2}\dfrac{\lambda }{x^2}dx

Here given that

\lambda =\dfrac{\lambda _0x_0}{x}

So

E=K_e\int_{x_1}^{x_2}\dfrac{\lambda_0x_0 }{x^3}dx

E=K_e\int_{x_0}^{\infty }\dfrac{\lambda_0x_0 }{x^3}dx

Now by integrating we get

E=-K_e\lambda_0\left [ \dfrac{1 }{2x^2} \right ]^{\infty }_x_0dx

E=-K_e\dfrac{\lambda_0 }{2x_0}dx

So the electric field at the origin E

E=-K_e\dfrac{\lambda_0 }{2x_0}N/C

Natali [406]

Answer:

1.38*10^18 kg

Explanation:

According to the Newton's law of universal gravitation:

F=G*\frac{m_a*m_p}{r^2}

where:

G= Gravitational constant (6.674×10−11 N · (m/kg)2)

ma= mass of the astronaut

mp= mass of the planet

F=m_a.a\\(v_f )^2=(v_o)^2+2.a.\Delta y\\\\a=\frac{(v_f)^2-(v_o)^2}{2.\Delta y}\\\\a=\frac{(0)^2-(4.29m/s)^2}{2.0.64m}=14.38m/s^2\\\\F=m_a*14.38m/s^2

so:

m_a*14.38m/s^2=(6.674*10^{-11}N.(m/kg)^2)*\frac{m_a.m_p}{(2.530*10^3m)^2}\\m_p=\frac{14.38m/s^2(2.530*10^3m)^2}{(6.674*10^{-11}N.(m/kg)^2)}\\\\m_p=1.38*10^{18}kg

Two equal resistors are connected in series with a 1.50V battery. In order to keep the current at 0.030 A, the resistors much ea
AlexFokin [52]

Answer: 25 Ohms

Explanation:

From this question, the following parameters are given:

Voltage V = 1.5 v

Current I = 0.03A

From Ohm's law;

V = IR

Where R = resultant resistance of the two resistors.

Substitute V and I into the formula and make resultant R the subject of formula.

1.5 = 0.03 × R

R = 1.5/0.03

R = 50 Ohms

From the question, it is given that Thr two equal resistors are connected in series.

R = R1 + R2

But R1 = R2

50 = 2R1

R1 = 50/2

R1 = 25

R1 = R2 = 25 Ohms

Therefore, the resistors must each have a value of 25 Ohms

A car starting from rest has a constant acceleration of 4 meters per second per second. How fast will it be going in 5 seconds?
irinina [24]

Answer:

18 m

Explanation:

Given : vo = 0 m/s ; t = 3 s; a = 4 m/s^2 ; d = ? m ; average velocity = ? m/s ; fonal velocity = ? m/s

solving for the final velocity, v

v = a * t

v = 4 m/s^2 * 3 s

v = 12 m / s

Solving for the average velocity. avg v

avg v = (vo + v) / 2

avg v = (0 m / s + 12 m/s) / 2

avg v = 6 m / s

Solving for the distance traveled after 3 s

d = avg v * t

d = 6 m / s * 3 s

d = 18 meters

In the first 3s the car travels 18 meters.

denpristay [2]

Answer:0.669

Explanation:

Given

mass of clock 93 kg

Initial force required to move it 610 N

After clock sets in motion it requires a force of 514 N to keep moving it with a constant velocity

Initially static friction is acting which is more than kinetic friction

thus 613 force is required to overcome static friction

\mu _smg=610

\mu _s\times 93\times 9.8=610

\mu _s=0.669
