A uniformly charged rod (length = 2.0 m, charge per unit length = 3.0 nc/m) is bent to form a semicircle. What is the magnitude

of the electric field at the center of the circle?

Answer:

84.82N/C.

Explanation:

The x-components of the electric field cancel; therefore, we only care about the y-components.

The y-component of the differential electric field at the center is

$dE = \frac{kdQ }{R^2} sin(\theta )$.

Now, let us call \lambda the charge per unit length, then we know that

dQ = \lambda Rd\theta;

therefore,

$dE = \frac{k \lambda R d\theta }{R^2} sin(\theta )$

$dE = \frac{k \lambda  d\theta }{R} sin(\theta )$

Integrating

$E = \frac{k \lambda   }{R}\int_0^\pi sin(\theta )d\theta$

$E = \frac{k \lambda   }{R}*[-cos(\pi )+cos(0) ]$

$E = \frac{2k \lambda   }{R}.$

Now, we know that

\lambda = 3.0*10^{-9}C/m,

k = 9*10^9kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4}\cdot A^{-2},

and the radius of the semicircle is

\pi R = 2.0m,\\\\R = \dfrac{2.0m}{\pi };

therefore,

$E = \frac{2(9*10^9) (3.0*10^{-9})   }{\dfrac{2.0}{\pi } }.$

$\boxed{E = 84.82N/C.}$

A piece of rope is pulled by two people in a tug-of-war. each exerts a 400-n force. what is the tension in the rope?
Leokris [45]
Newtons 3.law: Action = Reaction

If a body exerts a force on a rope of 400 N the rope exerts a force on the body of 400N also. So the tension in the rope is 400N. See pictures below.

Statement that combines energy and mass into one law
inysia [295]

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation

Explanation:

It states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as the system's mass cannot change, so quantity can neither be added nor be removed.

Increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared light.

Explanation:

When a large amount of green-house gases are present in the atmosphere, the layer of these gases become opaque to infrared radiation and radiation from the sun get trapped into these gases molecules. These excited molecules radiate this energy into our own atmosphere and that why the temperature of Earth is rising due to the Green-House effect.
