A positive charge Q is distributed uniformly along the positive y-axis between y=0 and y=a. A negative point charge, -q, lies on

the positive x-axis, a distance x from the origin. Calculate the x and y components of the E-field produced by the charge distribution Q at points on the positive x axis.

<span>Hi Josh ... The first thing to notice about the problem is that you are being asked to find the electric field of the charge distribution Q (which is uniformly smeared along part of the y-axis), acting at a point (x,0) on the positive x-axis. The mention of the charge -q is a red herring -- information you do not need. The E-field of the charge Q depends only on the distribution of the charge Q. The role of the -q charge is to be a test charge, such as might be used if you were going to attempt to measure the E-field. But E-field is force per unit test charge. That is, F (force vector) equals (test charge) times E (the E-field vector). Because the test charge in this particular problem is negative, the force will be opposite to the direction of the E-field, and q times the E-field strength.</span>

an audio CD has a diameter of 120 mm and spins at up to 540 rpm. When a CD is spinning at its maximum rate, how much time is req
Andru [333]

Answer:

 t = 0.1111 s

Explanation:

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

    d = 120 mm (1m / 1000 mm)

    d= 0.120 m

    w = 540 rpm (2pi rad / 1 rev) (1 min / 60s)  

     w= 56.55 rad / s

When at maximum speed we can use angular kinematic relationships to find the time for a sperm revolution with zero angular acceleration

     W = θ / t

     t = θ / w

     t = 2π / 56.55

     t = 0.1111 s

How is electron movement related to the bonding in sodium chloride? A) The atomic orbitals overlap and share electrons causing a
posledela

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Sodium has atomic number 11 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 1. Whereas chlorine has atomic number 17 and its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 7.

Therefore, we can see that sodium has one extra electron and chlorine has deficiency of one electron.

So, in order to complete their octet sodium will give its one valence electron to the chlorine atom. Hence, there is exchange of electrons and thus it will result in the formation of ionic bond.

Thus, we can conclude that in sodium chloride electron movement is related to the bonding as electrons exchange creating ions to form an ionic bond by electrostatic attraction.

In a grandfather clock, the second hand moves forward by one second for each half period of the clock’s pendulum.
Maurinko [17]

To solve the problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to simple pendulum, i.e., a point mass that is suspended from a weightless string. Such a pendulum moves in a harmonic motion -the oscillations repeat regularly, and kineticenergy is transformed into potntial energy and vice versa.

In the given problem half of the period is equivalent to 1 second so the pendulum period is,

T= 2s

From the equations describing the period of a simple pendulum you have to

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

Where

g= gravity

L = Length

T = Period

Re-arrange to find L we have

L = \frac{gT^2}{4\pi^2}

Replacing the values,

L = \frac{(9.8)(2)^2}{4\pi^2}

L = 0.99m

In the case of the reduction of gravity because the pendulum is in another celestial body, as the moon for example would happen that,

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g/6}}

T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{6L}{g}}

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{6*0.99}{9.8}}

T  = 4.89s

In this way preserving the same length of the rope but decreasing the gravity the Period would increase considerably.

Why are mercury and the earths moon so cratered?
Ksenya-84 [330]
They are cratered because of meteoroids, neither of them have an atmosphere to disintegrate the meteors, and neither of them have water to erode the craters.
