Explanation:
it is given that, the linear charge density of a charge,
Firstly, we can define the electric field for a small element and then integrate for the whole. The very small electric field is given by :
..........(1)
The linear charge density is given by :
Integrating equation (1) from x = x₀ to x = infinity
Hence, this is the required solution.
1) The car overtakes the truck at a distance of 160 m far from the intersection.
2) The velocity of the car is 40 m/s
Explanation:
1)
The car is travelling with a constant acceleration starting from rest, so its position at time t (measured taking the intersection as the origin) is given by
where
is the acceleration
t is the time
On the other hand, the truck is travelling at a constant velocity, therefore its position at time t is given by
where
v = 20 m/s is the velocity of the truck
t is the time
The car overtakes the truck when the two positions are the same, so when
So, after a time of 8 seconds. Therefore, the distance covered by the car during this time is
So, the car overtakes the truck 160 m far from the intersection.
2)
The motion of the car is a uniformly accelerated motion, so the velocity of the car at time t is given by the suvat equation
where
v is the velocity at time t
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
For the car in this problem, we have:
u = 0 (it starts from rest)
And we know that the car overtakes the truck when
t = 8 s
Substituting into the equation,
