A nonconducting rod of length L = 8.15 cm has charge –q = -4.23 fC uniformly distributed along its length.(a) What is the linear

charge density of the rod?What are the(b) magnitude and(c) direction(relative to the positive direction of the s-axis) of the electric field produced at point P, at a distance a = 12.0 cm from the rod? What is the electric field produced at point P, at distance a = 12.0 cm from the rod? What is the electric field magnitude produced at distance a = 50 m by(d) the rod and(e) a particle of charge –q = -4.23 fC that replaces the rod?

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

Answer: 7.41 m/s

Explanation: By using the law of of energy, kinetic energy of the brick as it falls equals the potential energy before falling.

Kinetic energy = mv²/2, potential energy = mgh

mv²/2 = mgh

v²/2 = gh

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

Where g = 9.8 m/s², h = 2.80m

v = √2×9.8×2.8 = 7.41 m/s

10. How much U.S. oil demand is represented by the large oil tanker?
dexar [7]
Base on my research, as of 2004 The U.S. devours about 20 million barrels of oil a day, according to the CIA. But base on Wikipedia, it says that a normal large tanker can only carry around 2 million barrels of oil. So to supply the U.S with this oil per day, it needs 10 normal large oil tankers.

The sun, like all stars, releases energy through nuclear fusion. In this problem, you will find the total number of fusion react
sattari [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

DetaM=4 x 1.02875 - 4.002603

DetaM= 0.028697u

Using E= mc²

= 0.028697 x 1.49x*10^-10

= 4.2x10^-12J
