Answer:
(a) The constants required describing the rod's density are B=2.6 and C=1.325.
(b) The mass of the road can be found using
Explanation:
(a) Since the density variation is linear and the coordinate x begins at the low-density end of the rod, we have a density given by
recalling that the coordinate x is measured in centimeters.
(b) The mass of the rod can be found by having into account the density, which is x-dependent, and the volume differential for the rod:
,
hence, the mass of the rod is 126.6 g.
A proton is released from rest at the origin in a uniform electric field in the positive x direction with magnitude 850 N/C. The change in the electric potential energy of the proton-field system when the proton travels to x = 2.50m is -3.40 × 10⁻¹⁶ J (Option B)
<h3 /><h3>How is the change in electric potential energy of the proton-field system calculated?</h3>- Work done on the proton =Negative of the change in the electric potential energy of the proton field
- In the given case, W = -qΔV
- -W = qΔV
- = qEcosθ
- Therefore, work done on the proton = -e(8.50×
N/C)(2.5m)(1)
- = -3.40×
J
- Any change in the potential energy indicates the work done by the proton.
- Therefore the positive sign shows that the potential energy increases when the proton does the work.
- The negative sign shows that the potential energy decreases when the proton does the work.
