Answer:

a)  V = k 2π σ (√(b² + x²) - √ (a² + x²)) ,  

b)  E = - k 2π σ x (1 /√(b² + x²) - 1 /√(a² + x²))

Explanation:

a) The expression for the electric potential is

        V = k ∫ dq / r

For this case, consider the disk formed by a series of concentric rings of radius r and width dr, the distance of each ring to point P

         R = √(x² + r²)

The charge on a ring is

        σ = dq / dA

The area of ​​a ring is

        A = π r

        dA = 2π r dr

So the charge is

        dq = σ  2π r dr

We substitute

       V = k σ 2pi ∫ r dr / √(r² + x²)

We integrate

       V = k 2π σ √(r² + x²)

We evaluate from the lower limit r = a to the upper limit r = b

      V = k 2π σ (√(b² + x²) - √ (a² + x²))

 

b) the electric field and the potential are related

        E = - dV / dx

        E = - k 2π σ (1/2 2x /√(b² + x²) - ½ 2x /√(a² + x²))

        E = - k 2π σ x (1 /√(b² + x²) - 1 /√(a² + x²))

A soccer ball is kicked from the top of one building with a height of H1 = 30.2 m to another building with a height of H2 = 12.0
viktelen [127]

Hi there!

Initially, we have gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. If we set the zero-line at H2 (12.0m), then the ball at the second building only has kinetic energy.

We also know there was work done on the ball by air resistance that decreased the ball's total energy.

Let's do a summation using the equations:
KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \\\\PE = mgh

Our initial energy consists of both kinetic and potential energy (relative to the final height of the ball)

E_i = \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + mg(H_1 - H_2)

Our final energy, since we set the zero-line to be at H2, is just kinetic energy.

E_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2

And:
W_A = E_i - E_f

The work done by air resistance is equal to the difference between the initial energy and the final energy of the soccer ball.

Therefore:
W_A = \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + mg(H_1 - H_2) -  \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2

Solving for the work done by air resistance:
W_A = \frac{1}{2}(.450)(15.1^2)+ (.450)(9.8)(30.2 - 12) -  \frac{1}{2}(.450)(19.89^2)

W_A = \boxed{42.552 J}

Jerry is conducting an experiment to test friction. His setup is shown below. If he wants to test the friction between different
professor190 [17]

Answer:

The correct option is D

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of the setup which as been attached below. The setup shows/determines/tests the friction of wood (which is a block material), since Jerry wants to test the friction between different types of materials, he will have to replace the wooden block with another type of block material of choice so as to determine the friction of that also.

In order to have a comprehensive experiment, Jerry can use 4-5 different types of block material in the course of the experiment.
