A plastic rod 1.5 m long is rubbed all over with wool, and acquires a charge of -9e-08 coulombs. We choose the center of the rod

to be the origin of our coordinate system, with the x-axis extending to the right, the y-axis extending up, and the z-axis out of the page. In order to calculate the electric field at location A = < 0.7, 0, 0 > m, we divide the rod into 8 pieces, and approximate each piece as a point charge located at the center of the piece. 1. What is the length of one of these pieces? 2. What is the location of the center of piece number 2? 3. How much charge is on piece number 2?

Answer:

Answer:

a) k = 0.1875 m

b) r2 = 0.46875 m

c) q = -1.125*10^-8 C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The total Length of rod L = 1.5 m

- The total charge of the rod Q = -9 * 10^8 C

- Total section of a rod n = 8

Find:

1. What is the length of one of these pieces?

2. What is the location of the center of piece number 2?

3. How much charge is on piece number 2?

Solution:

- The entire rod is divided into 8 pieces, so the length of each piece would be k:

                                     k = L / n

                                     k = 1.5 / 8

                                     k = 0.1875 m

- The distance from center of entire rod and center of section 2 is 2.5 times the section length

                                     r2 = 2.5*k

                                     r2 = 2.5*(0.1875)

                                     r2 = 0.46875 m

- Assuming the charge on the rod is uniformly distributed. The the charge for each section of rod is given by q:

                                     q = Q / n

                                     q = -9 * 10^8 / 8

                                     q = -1.125*10^-8 C

P is complementary to x

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary means adding to 90 degrees

P+x = 90 degrees

So P is complementary to x

A box with a square base and open top must have a volume of 32,000 cm3. find the dimensions of the box that mini- mize the amoun
zmey [24]
Alrighty


squaer base so length=width, nice


v=lwh
but in this case, l=w, so replace l with w
V=w²h

and volume is 32000
32000=w²h


the amount of materials is the surface area
note that there is no top
so
SA=LW+2H(L+W)
L=W so
SA=W²+2H(2W)
SA=W²+4HW

alrighty

we gots
SA=W²+4HW and
32000=W²H

we want to minimize the square foottage
get rid of one of the variables
32000=W²H
solve for H
32000/W²=H
subsitute

SA=W²+4WH
SA=W²+4W(32000/W²)
SA=W²+128000/W

take derivitive to find the minimum
dSA/dW=2W-128000/W²
where does it equal 0?

0=2W-1280000/W²
128000/W²=2W
128000=2W³
64000=W³
40=W

so sub back
32000/W²=H
32000/(40)²=H
32000/(1600)=H
20=H

the box is 20cm height and the width and length are 40cm

Substitution method <br><br> x-7y=-9<br> -x+8y=10
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

x = -2, y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

x-7y=-9---------------------equation 1

-x+8y=10-------------------equation 2

From equation 1, make x the subject of formula

x=7y-9----------------------equation 3

substituting x=7y-9 in equation 2,

-(7y-9)+8y=10

Expanding bracket

-7y+9+8y=10

Collecting like terms

8y-7y=10-9

y=1

substituting y=1 in 3

x=7(1)-9

x=7-9

x=-2
