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

bixtya [17]

Answer:42.43m/s

Explanation:According to vf=vi+at, we  can calculate it since v0 equals to 0. vf=0+9.8m/s^2*4.33s= 42.434m/s

After robbing a bank, a criminal tries to escape from the police by driving at a constant speed of 55 m/s (about 125 mph). A pol
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

18.03 s

Explanation:

We have two different types of motions, the criminal moves with uniform motion while the police do it with uniformly accelerated motion. Therefore we will use the equations of these cases. We know that by the time the police reach the criminal they will have traveled the same distance.

x=vt\\x=x_{0}+v_{0}t+\frac{a}{2}t^2

The distance between the police and the criminal when the first one starts the persecution is 0, its initial speed is also zero. So:

x=(55m/s)t\\x=\frac{6.1m/s^2}{2}t^2=(3.05m/s^2)t^2

Equalizing these two equations and solving for t:

(55m/s)t=(3.05m/s^2)t^2\\(3.05m/s^2)t^2-(55m/s)t=0\\t((3.05m/s^2)t-55m/s)=0\\t=0 \\(3.05m/s^2)t-55m/s=0\\t=\frac{55m/s}{3.05m/s^2}=18.03 s
