Answer:

a)  λ = 5.19 10⁻⁴ C/m , b)  E = 1,573 10⁻³ N/C , c) the direction of the field is directed to the bar

Explanation:

a) the linear density defined as the ratio between the charge per unit length

       λ = q / l

Let's start by reducing the units to the SI system

     L = 8.15 cm (1m / 100cm) = 8.15 10⁻² m

     a = 12 cm (1m / 100cm) = 12 10⁻² m

    q = -4.23 fC (1 C / 10¹⁵ ft) = -4.23 10⁻¹⁵ C

    λ = -4.23 10⁻¹⁵ C / 8.15 10⁻²

    λ = 5.19 10⁻⁴ C/m

b) Let's look for the electric field for a point at a distance a from the end of the bar

      E = k  dq / r²

To simplify the notation, suppose the bar is the x axis. Since the density is constant, we can write it differentially

     λ = dq/dx

     dq = λ dx

     E = k ∫ λ dx / x²

We integrate and evaluate between the lower limits x = a and higher x = L + a. Here we place the test point at the origin of the system

     E = k λ (-1 / x)

     E = k λ (-1 /(L + a) + 1 /a)

     E = k λ (L /a(L + a)

Let's change the density for its value

     E = k (q / L) (L / a (L + a)

     E = k q  1 /[a(L + a)]

     E = 8.99 10⁹ 4.23 10⁻¹⁵ [1 /12 10⁻²(8.15 10⁻² + ​​12 10⁻²)]

     E = 1,573 10⁻³ N/C  

c) the direction of the field is directed to the bar, because it has a negative charge

d) now we change the distance a = 50 cm = 0.50 m

Bar

      E = 8.99 10⁹ 4.23 10⁻¹⁵ ( 1 /0.5(0.0815 +0.5))

      E = 1,308 10⁻⁴ N/C

Charge point

      q = -4.23 10⁻¹⁵ C

     E = k q / r²

     E = 8.99 10⁹ 4.23 10⁻¹⁵ / 0.5²

     E = 1.521 10⁻⁴ N/C

What object currently has the most gravitational potential energy?<br><br>A, B, C, or D​
eduard

Answer:

A

Explanation:

this because

gravitational potential energy = mass x height x gravitational field strength

so let's assume mass is 2 kg and gravitational field strength is 10 N /kg

so when height is very low, take it as 3 m

gravitational potential energy= 2 x 3 x 10 = 60 j

but when height is 6m

gravitational potential energy = 2 x 6 x 10 = 120 j

so when the height is the greatest, the gravitational potential energy is the highest

so A is the heighest so it has the highest gravitational potential energy.

hope this helps

please mark it brainliest :D

Choose the correct explanation of whether the discovery should be considered reasonable or surprising.
earnstyle [38]

Answer: a. This would be exciting, but not surprising. Heat from Martian volcanoes may well be enough to melt water under the Mars' surface.

Explanation: It was recently observed by a team of geological researchers that there exist some activity at the crust of the planet mars. This activity are volcanic in nature and estimated to be about 10kilometers large. Also this volcanic eruptions in the planet mars core are described as among the largest in our solar system. Therefore it won't be a surprise that Heat from Martian volcanoes may well be enough to melt water under the Mars' surface.

Which of the following statements describe the steps you need to take to delete a file?
Doss [256]
In order to delete a file, it is required to first select the file which you want to delete and then select 'delete' from the file menu. It will then ask you to confirm the deletion which will be required in order to complete the file deletion process.

It isn't required to click on the X at the top right of the screen or to open the file you want to delete as these steps aren't relevant to the deletion process.

Hence, the statements which describe the steps you need to take in order to delete a file are as follows:

- Confirm the deletion.
- Select Delete from the File menu.
- Select the file you want to delete.

The relative humidity would be ________% if the actual water vapor in the air was 4 grams per cubic meter, the air's capacity to
AveGali [126]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Humidity is the amount water vapor present in the atmosphere.

Relative humidity is defined as the ratio of partial water vapor present in air to the actual water vapor at a particular temperature. It is expressed in percentage and the higher the percentage RH, the more the saturated water vapor present in the atmosphere and vice versa.

It is expressed mathematically as shown;

RH = actual water vapor in air/saturated water vapor × 100%

If the actual water vapor in the air was 4 grams per cubic meter and the air's capacity to hold water vapor was 8 grams per cubic meter

Actual water vapor = 4g/cm³

Air's water capacity (saturated water vapor) = 8g/cm³

RH = 4/8×100

RH = 50%
