Since everything in the circuit is in series .. .

-- The total resistance is  (3 + 2) = 5 ohms.

-- The voltage across the 3-ohm resistor is 3/5 of the total voltage.

-- The voltage across the 2-ohm resistor is 2/5 of the total voltage.

                  (2/5) of (9 volts)  =  18/5  =  3.6 volts .

If the total charge on a rod of length 0.4 m is 2.6 nc, what is the magnitude of the electric field at a location 3 cm from the
Nana76 [90]
Let the rod be on the x-axes with endpoints -L/2 and L/2 and uniform charge density lambda (2.6nC/0.4m = 7.25 nC/m). 

The point then lies on the y-axes at d = 0.03 m. 

from symmetry, the field at that point will be ascending along the y-axes. 


A charge element at position x on the rod has distance sqrt(x^2 + d^2) to the point. 

Also, from the geometry, the component in the y-direction is d/sqrt(x^2+d^2) times the field strength. 


All in all, the infinitesimal field strength from the charge between x and x+dx is: 


dE = k lambda dx * 1/(x^2+d^2) * d/sqrt(x^2+d^2) 


Therefore, upon integration, 


E = k lambda d INTEGRAL{dx / (x^2 + d^2)^(3/2) } where x goes from -L/2 to L/2. 


This gives:


E = k lambda L / (d sqrt((L/2)^2 + d^2) ) 


But lambda L = Q, the total charge on the rod, so 


E = k Q / ( d * sqrt((L/2)^2 + d^2) )

A bus accelerates to 60 m/s to the east in 10 s. What is the buses acceleration? 2. A car traveling at 10.0 m/s to the west acce
professor190 [17]

Answers:

1) a=6\frac{m}{s^{2}}

2) t=8s

Explanation:

1) Acceleration a is defined as the variation of Velocity V in time t :  

a=\frac{V}{t}  (1)

A body also has acceleration when it changes its direction.

In this case we have a bus with a velocity of 60m/s to the east, that accelerates in a time 10s. So, we have to find the bus's acceleration:

a=\frac{60m/s}{10s}  (2)

a=6m/s^{2}  (3)  This is the bus's accelerration

2) Now we have a car that accelerates 2m/s^{2}  to the west in order to reach a speed of 16m/s in the same direction, and we have to find the time t it takes to the car to reach that velocity.

Therefore we have to find  t from (1):

t=\frac{V}{a}  (4)

t=\frac{16m/s}{2m/s^{2}}  (5)

Finally:

t=8s  (6)

Why does an object in motion stay in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer: A) because forces are what stop and start motion

Explanation:

From Newton's first law, an object tends to stay in state of rest or motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced external force. This is also known law of inertia. This is because a force can stop or start a motion. A force cause body to accelerate to decelerate otherwise the body continues with constant speed.
