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>

A car is travelling at a constant speed of 26.5 m/s. Its tires have a radius of 72 cm. If the car slows down at a constant rate
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Magnitude of angular acceleration = -3.95 rad/s²

Explanation:

Angular acceleration is the ratio of linear acceleration and radius.

That is

        \texttt{Angular acceleration}=\frac{\texttt{Linear acceleration}}{\texttt{Radius}}\\\\\alpha =\frac{a}{r}

Radius = 72 cm = 0.72 m

Linear acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

a=\frac{11.7-26.5}{5.2}=-2.85m/s^2

Angular acceleration

        \alpha =\frac{a}{r}=\frac{-2.85}{0.72}=-3.95rad/s^2

Angular acceleration = -3.95 rad/s²  

Magnitude =  3.95 rad/s²

Which of the following lists the typical steps of the scientific method in the
irinina [24]

B. Ask a question - Hypothesize - Experiment - Analyze - Draw  a conclusion

Explanation:

The scientific method is a systematic approach in which investigations are conducted in science.

It follows systematic manner;

  • An observation in nature is made using the senses.
  • Questions are then asked about such observations. This is the inquiry phase.
  • A hypothesis is then formula to predict what might cause the observation.
  • Experiments are then conducted
  • The results are analyzed and a conclusion is drawn

The magnetic lines of force always travel from north to south true or false
kumpel [21]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Magnetic field lines outside of a permanent magnet always run from the north magnetic pole to the south magnetic pole. Therefore, the magnetic field lines of the earth run from the southern geographic hemisphere towards the northern geographic hemisphere.
