Answer:

Explanation:

The distance time graph shows the distance traveled by the object according to the time.

The slope of distance time graph for an object gives the value of speed.

More be the slope of the graph between distance and time more be the speed.

Here are two graphs between the distance and the time for the object.

The graph line OA ha less slope then graph line OB, so the object which follows the graph line OA is slower than the object which follows graph line OB.

The fast moving object would have a steeper slope going up, because the distance it is traveling is farther, making it go higher on the graph. The slower moving object would have a more gradual slope, because it is not going as high for the the time it is traveling.

A line of charge starts at x = +x0 and extends to positive infinity. The linear charge density is λ = λ0x0/x. Determine the elec

kari74 [83]

Explanation:

it is given that, the linear charge density of a charge, $\lambda=\dfrac{\lambda_ox_o}{x}$

Firstly, we can define the electric field for a small element and then integrate for the whole. The very small electric field is given by :

$dE=\dfrac{k\ dq}{x^2}$ ..........(1)

The linear charge density is given by :

$\lambda=\dfrac{dq}{dx}$

$dq=\lambda.dx=\dfrac{\lambda_ox_o}{x}dx$

Integrating equation (1) from x = x₀ to x = infinity

$E=\int\limits^\infty_{x_o} {\dfrac{k\lambda_ox_o}{x^3}}.dx$

$E=-\dfrac{k\lambda_ox_o}{2}\dfrac{1}{x^2}|_{x_o}^\infty}$

$E=\dfrac{k\lambda_o}{2x_o}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

The speed of an electromagnetic wave traveling in a transparent nonmagnetic substance is v = 1/ κμ0ε0 , where κ is the dielectri

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

$v=2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of an electromagnetic wave traveling in a transparent nonmagnetic substance is given by :

$v=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{k\mu_o\epsilon_o}}$

Where

k is the dielectric constant of the substance.

v is the speed of light in water

$c=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1.78\times 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}}$

$v=2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

So, the speed of light in water is $2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

An engineer wishes to design a curved exit ramp for a toll road in such a way that a car will not have to rely on friction to ro

Dafna11 [192]

To solve this problem we will make a graph that allows us to understand the components acting on the body. In this way we will have the centripetal Force and the Force by gravity generating a total component. If we take both forces and get the trigonometric ratio of the tangent we would have the angle is,

$T_x = nsinA = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

$T_y = ncosA = mg$

Dividing both.

$tan A = \frac{v^2}{rg}$

$tan A = \frac{11.7^2}{50*9.8}$

$A = tan^{-1} (0.279367)$

$A = 15.608\°$

Therefore the angle that should the curve be banked is 15.608°

At which angle must a laser beam enter the water for no refraction to occur?

abruzzese [7]

Light that enters the new medium <em>perpendicular to the surface</em> keeps sailing straight through the new medium unrefracted (in the same direction).

Perpendicular to the surface is the "normal" to the surface. So the angle of incidence (angle between the laser and the normal) is zero, and the law of refraction (just like the law of reflection) predicts an angle of zero between the normal and the refracted (or the reflected) beam.

Moral of the story: If you want your laser to keep going in the same direction after it enters the water, or to bounce back in the same direction it came from when it hits the mirror, then shoot it <em>straight on</em> to the surface, perpendicular to it.
