A thin insulating rod is bent into a semicircular arc of radius a, and a total electric charge Q is distributed uniformly along

the rod. Calculate the potential at the center of curvature of the arc if the potential is assumed to be zero at infinity.

Answer:

v = \frac{kQ}{a}  

Explanation:

We define the linear density of charge as:

\lambda = \frac{Q}{L}

     Where L is the rod's length, in this case the semicircle's length L = πr

The potential created at the center by an differential element of charge is:

dv = \frac{kdq}{r}

          where k is the coulomb's constant

                     r is the distance from dq to center of the circle

Thus.

v = \int_{}^{}\frac{kdq}{a}  

v = \frac{k}{a}\int_{}^{}dq

v = \frac{kQ}{a}     Potential at the center of the semicircle

Describe how different types of motion are represented by distance-time graphs and velocity-time graphs.
eduard

Answer:

non-accelerated movement

velocity versus time  a horizontal straight line.

distance versus time  gives a horizontal straight line.

accelerated motion

graph of velocity versus time s an inclined line and the slope

graph of distance versus time is a parabola of the form

Explanation:

In kinematics there are two types of steely and non-accelerated movements

In a  the velocity of the body is constant therefore a speed hook against time gives a horizontal straight line.

A graph of distance versus time is a straight line whose slope is the velocity of the body

          x = v t

In an accelerated motion the velocity changes linearly with time, so a graph of velocity versus time is an inclined line and the slope is the value of the acceleration of the body

         v = v₀ + a t

A graph of distance versus time is a parabola of the form

         x =v₀ t + ½ a t²

How the choice of building materials and techniques can help them cool down faster, after heating up.
Sauron [17]

Answer:

The choice of building materials and techniques can help them cool down faster, after heating up is explained below in brief details.

Explanation:

Building materials

Buildings that are composed of rock, bricks, or pavement, or inserted into the territory, can seem cooler thanks to the great "thermal mass" of these elements – that is, their capability to assimilate and discharge heat gently, thereby softening temperatures over time, producing daytime cooler and night-time warmer.
