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]

Rocks are elastic too! Explain how elasticity and Harry Reid's elastic rebound theory lead to a better understanding of earthqua
ANEK [815]
After the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake, geolophysicistHarry Fielding Reid examined the displacement of the ground surface along the San Andreas Fault. He concluded that the quake must have been the result of the elastic reboundof the strain energy in the rocks on either side of the fault.
strain energy is 0. 5x force x (compression) X (compression)
There is a lot of force and a bit of compression when rocks squash up against other rocks causing earthquakes

A voltage of 12 cos(I000t+45) Vis applied to a circuit in which a resistor of 4 .n, aninductor of L H, and a capacitor of 100 μF
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

0.01 H

Explanation:

V = 12 cos (1000t + 45)

C = 100 micro farad

Let the inductance be L .

When the current and the voltage are in the same phase so it is the condition of resonance.

So capacitive reactance = inductive reactance

Xc = XL

1/ωC = ωL

L = 1 / ω²C

By comparisonV = Vo Cos (ωt + Ф)

ω = 1000 rad/s

L = 1 / (1000 x 1000 x 100 x 10^-6)

L = 1 / 100

L = 0.01H

thus, the inductance of the inductor is 0.01 H.

A solid uniform disk of diameter 3.20 m and mass 42 kg rolls without slipping to the bottom of a hill, starting from rest. If th
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

A(3.56m)

Explanation:

We have a conservation of energy problem here as well. Potential energy is being converted into linear kinetic energy and rotational kinetic energy.

We are given ω= 4.27rad/s, so v = ωr, which is 6.832 m/s. Place your coordinate system at top of the hill so E initial is 0.

Ef= Ug+Klin+Krot= -mgh+1/2mv^2+1/2Iω^2

Since it is a solid uniform disk I= 1/2MR^2, so Krot will be 1/4Mv^2(r^2ω^2=  v^2).

Ef= -mgh+3/4mv^2

Since Ef=Ei=0

Mgh=3/4mv^2

gh=3/4v^2

h=0.75v^2/g

plug in givens to get h= 3.57m
