Positive Charge Q is distributed uniformly along the x-axis from x=0 to x=a. A positive point charge q is located on the positiv

e x-axis at point x-atr, a distance r to the right from the end of Q. (a) Using integral calculus, calculate the elect field produced by the charge distribution all points x > a. (b) What is the force on the small charge q (c) If/>>a, what is the force on q?

Answer:

 electric field E = - k Q (1 /r(r-a)), force    F = - k Q qo / r (r-a) and force for r>>a    F ≈ - k Q qo / r²

Explanation:

You are asked to find the electric field of a continuous charge distribution, so we must use the equation

       

           E = k ∫dp /r²

Where k is the Coulomb constant that is worth 8.99 10⁹ N m² / C², r is the distance between the load distribution and the test charge, in this case everything is on the X axis.

We must find the charge differential (dq), let's use that uniformly distributed and create a linear charge density

          λ = q / x

As it is constant, we can write it based on differentials

         λ = dq / dx

         dq = λ dx

We already have all the terms, let's  integrate enter its limits, lower the distance from the left end of the distribution to the test charge (x = r) and the upper limit that is the distance from the left end of distribution to the test load ( x = r - a) where r> a

         E = k ∫ λ dx / x²

         E = k la (- 1 / x)

Let's get the negative sign from the parentheses

         E = - k λ (1 / x)

         E = - k λ (1 /(r-a)  -1 /r) = - k λ [a / r (r-a)]

Let's change the charge density with the value of the total charge λ = Q / a

         E = - k Q/a  [a / r (r-a)]

         E = - k Q (1 /r(r-a))

b) We calculate the force.  

         F = E qo

         F = - k Q qo / r (r-a)

c) the force for charge porbe very far r >> a. In this case we can take r from the parentheses and neglect (a/r)

         F = - k Qqo / r² (1 -  a/r)

         F ≈ - k Q qo / r²

A sled of mass m is being pulled horizontally by a constant horizontal force of magnitude F. The coefficient of kinetic friction
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The average velocity of the sled is vavg = s/t.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The average velocity is calculated as the traveled distance over time:

vavg = Δx/Δt

Where:

vavg = average velocity.

Δx = traveled distance.

Δt = elapsed time.

We already know the traveled distance (s) and also know the time it takes the sled to travel that distance (t). Then, the average velocity can be calculated as follows:

vavg = s/t
