To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 23.2 for continuous charge distribution problems. A straight wire of length L has a positiv

e charge Q distributed along its length. Find the magnitude of the electric field due to the wire at a point located a distance d from one end of the wire along the line extending from the wire.

Answer:

             E = k Q / [d(d+L)]

Explanation:

As the charge distribution is continuous we must use integrals to solve the problem, using the equation of the elective field

       E = k ∫ dq/ r² r^

"k" is the Coulomb constant 8.9875 10 9 N / m2 C2, "r" is the distance from the load to the calculation point, "dq" is the charge element  and "r^" is a unit ventor from the load element to the point.

Suppose the rod is along the x-axis, let's look for the charge density per unit length, which is constant

         λ = Q / L

If we derive from the length we have

        λ = dq/dx       ⇒    dq = L dx

We have the variation of the cgarge per unit length, now let's calculate the magnitude of the electric field produced by this small segment of charge

        dE = k dq / x²2

        dE = k λ dx / x²

Let us write the integral limits, the lower is the distance from the point to the nearest end of the rod "d" and the upper is this value plus the length of the rod "del" since with these limits we have all the chosen charge consider

        E = k \int\limits^{d+L}_d {\lambda/x^{2}} \, dx

We take out the constant magnitudes and perform the integral

        E = k λ (-1/x){(-1/x)}^{d+L} _{d}

   

Evaluating

        E = k λ [ 1/d  - 1/ (d+L)]

Using   λ = Q/L

        E = k Q/L [ 1/d  - 1/ (d+L)]

 

let's use a bit of arithmetic to simplify the expression

     [ 1/d  - 1/ (d+L)]   = L /[d(d+L)]

The final result is

     E = k Q / [d(d+L)]

A dwarf planet discovered out beyond the orbit of Pluto is known to have an orbital period of 619.36 years. What is its average
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer: 72.66 AU=1.089(10)^{10} km

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that according to Kepler’s Third Law of Planetary motion “The square of the orbital period T of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis a of its orbit”:

T^{2}\propto a^{3} (1)  

Now, if T is measured in years (Earth years), and a is measured in astronomical units (equivalent to the distance between the Sun and the Earth: 1AU=1.5(10)^{8}km), equation (1) becomes:  

T^{2}=a^{3} (2)  

So, knowing T=619.36 years and isolating a from (2) we have:  

a=\sqrt[3]{T^{2}} (3)  

a=\sqrt[3]{(619.36 years)^{2}} (4)  

Finally:

a=72.66 AU T his is the distance between the dwarf planet and the Sun in astronomical units

Converting this to kilometers, we have:

a=72.66 AU \frac{1.5(10)^{8}km}{1 AU}=1.089(10)^{10} km

A. How many atoms of helium gas fill a spherical balloon of diameter 29.6 cm at 19.0°C and 1.00 atm? b. What is the average kine
Korolek [52]

Answer:

a) 3.39 × 10²³ atoms

b) 6.04 × 10⁻²¹ J

c) 1349.35 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter of the balloon, d = 29.6 cm = 0.296 m

Temperature, T = 19.0° C = 19 + 273 = 292 K

Pressure, P = 1.00 atm = 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa

Volume of the balloon = \frac{4}{3}\pi(\frac{d}{2})^3

or

Volume of the balloon = \frac{4}{3}\pi(\frac{0.296}{2})^3

or

Volume of the balloon, V = 0.0135 m³

Now,

From the relation,

PV = nRT

where,

n is the number of moles

R is the ideal gas constant = 8.314  kg⋅m²/s²⋅K⋅mol

on substituting the respective values, we get

1.013 × 10⁵ × 0.0135 = n × 8.314 × 292

or

n = 0.563

1 mol = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

Thus,

0.563 moles will have = 0.563 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms = 3.39 × 10²³ atoms

b) Average kinetic energy = \frac{3}{2}\times K_BT

where,

Boltzmann constant, K_B=1.3807\times10^{-23}J/K

Average kinetic energy = \frac{3}{2}\times1.3807\times10^{-23}\times292

or

Average kinetic energy = 6.04 × 10⁻²¹ J

c) rms speed = \frac{3RT}{m}

where, m is the molar mass of the Helium = 0.004 Kg

or

rms speed = \frac{3\times8.314\times292}{0.004}

or

rms speed = 1349.35 m/s
