Answer:

 V = k Q/l  ln [(l +√(l² + x²)) / x]

Explanation:

The electrical potential for a continuous distribution of charges is

      V = k ∫ dq / r

Let's apply this expression to our case, define a linear charge density for the bar

           λ = dq / dy

          dq = λ dy

The distance from a point on the bar to the x-axis is

            r = √ (x² + y²)

Let's replace

          V = K ∫ λ dy /√ (x² + y²)

     

We integrate

         V = k λ ln (y + √ (x² + y²))

       

Let's evaluate between y = 0 and y = l

         V = k λ [ ln (l +√(x² + l²) - ln x]

We substitute the linear density

           V = k Q/l  ln [(l +√(l² + x²)) / x]

If you want to lift a 5-kg box to a height of 2 meters, how much work must be
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:100joules

Explanation:

Mass(m)=5kg

Acceleration due to gravity(g)=10m/s^2

Height(h)=2 meters

Work=m x g x h

Work=5 x 10 x 2

Work=100joules

A burning candle is covered by a jar as shown in the picture. The whole arrangement has a mass of 500 g. What will be the approx
topjm [15]

Technically, I can't answer the question, because you won't
let me see the picture that goes along with it and is a part of it. 
But I'm familiar with the set-up, have dealt with the question before,
and I can answer it from my previous experience and general knowledge.

If there is 500g of mass inside the jar when you lower it over
the candle, then there will be 500g of mass at any time after that,
forever, or until you pick up the jar and take some mass out or put
some more in.  It doesn't matter how long you wait.  It also doesn't
matter whether or not the candle is burning, whether or not the sun
is shining on the jar, or whether somebody comes along and spray-paints
the outside of the jar with black paint.  Matter is not created or destroyed. 
Whatever mass was inside when the jar got closed stays in there.

If given a device that has unknown circuitry, and you measure that the voltage across the device leads the voltage across a resi
shusha [124]

There may be an improper voltage in the device.                                                                                                                                                              

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Given the device has unknown circuitry and the voltage across the device crosses the voltage across the resistor at 500 Hz. In this device, the current flow is not correct. It is improper.
  • The elements in the device are ammeter, capacitor, inductor, voltmeter, and battery. The components in the device may not be connected properly. This is due to the improper flow of current and condition of the voltmeter.
  • So these are the type of elements in the device.

The key idea of the transformation called translation is the gliding or sliding of every point in the plane the same direction.
Mrrafil [7]
That statement is true.

There are several definitions about transformation called translation, but the key idea is the gliding or sliding of every point in the plane the same direction.

Hope this helps
