Answer:

\mathbf{E = 3.04 \times 10^4 \ N/C} and the direction is vertically upward

Explanation:

To find the magnitude & direction which was being produced at a given point of 6.00 cm which is directly above the midpoint.

Given that:

the wire length = 8.50 cm = 8.5 × 10⁻² m

the charge density λ = 175 n C/m = 175 ×10⁻⁹ C/m

distance x = 6.00 cm = 0.006 m

Assume that  N be the point at distance x situated directly above the midpoint

Then, the linear expression for the linear charge density is:

\lambda = \dfrac{Q}{L}

the charge Q = \lambda L

Q = 175 \times 10^{-9} \times 8. 5 \times 10^{-2}

Q = 1.49 \times 10^{-8} \ C

For the electric field at point N;

E = \dfrac {kQ}{x\sqrt{x^2 + r^2}}

where;

r = \dfrac{L} {2}

E = \dfrac {9\times 10^9 \times 1.49 \time 10^{-8} }{0.06 \times \sqrt{0.06^2 + (\dfrac{8.50 \times 10^{-2}}{2})^2}}

\mathbf{E = 3.04 \times 10^4 \ N/C}

What is the average power supplied by a 60.0 kg secretary running up a flight of stairs rising vertically 4.0 m in 4.2 s?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

9.8kW

Explanation:

Given data

Mass= 60kg

Hieght= 4m

Time= 4.2seconds

We know that the energy possessed is given as

PE=mgh

PE=60*9.81*4

PE= 2354.4 Joulse

Also, the expression for power is

Power=Energy*Time

Power= 2354.4*4.2

Power=9888.48 watt

Power= 9.8kW

A steel ball bearing is released from a height H and
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

ELASTIC collision

kinetic energy is conservate

Explanation:

As the ball bounces to the same height, it can be stated that the impact with the floor is ELASTIC.

As the floor does not move the conservation of the moment

            po = pf

            -mv1 = m v2

- v1 = v2

So the speed with which it descends is equal to the speed with which it rises

Therefore the kinetic energy of the ball before and after the collision is the same
