of 3.2 m/s. What is the velocity of the kayak after the swimmer jumps off

Answer:

3.88m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum

m1u1+m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 and m2 are the masses

u1 and 2 are the initial velocities

v is the final velocity

Given

m1 = 64kg

u1 = 4.2m/s

m2 = 25kg

u2 = 3.2m/s

Required

Final velocity v

Substitute the given values into the formula

64(4.2)+25(3.2) = (65+25)v

268.8+80 = 90v

348.8 = 90v

v = 348.8/90

v = 3.88m/s

Hence the velocity of the kayak after the swimmer jumps off is 3.88m/s

A positively-charged object with a mass of 0.129 kg oscillates at the end of a spring, generating ELF (extremely low frequency)

9966 [12]

Answer:308 N/m

Explanation:

Given

mass $\left ( m\right )=0.129 kg$

wavelength $\left ( \lambda \right )=3.86\times 10^7$

We know frequency = $\frac{c}{\lambda }=\frac{3\times 10^8}{3.86\tmes 10^7}$

f=7.772 Hz

As the frequency of radio waves is same as the frequency at which object oscillates

$f=\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

$7.772=\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{k}{0.129}}$

$7.772\times 2\times \pi =\sqrt{\frac{k}{0.129}}$

$k=307.70\approx 308 N/m$

Consider a semi-infinite (hollow) cylinder of radius R with uniform surface charge density. Find the electric field at a point o

VikaD [51]

Answer:

For the point inside the cylinder: $E = \frac{\sigma R}{2\epsilon_0}\frac{1}{\sqrt{R^2 + 4x_0^2}}$

For the point outside the cylinder: $E = \frac{\sigma R}{2\epsilon_0}\frac{1}{\sqrt{R^2 + x_0^2}}$

where x0 is the position of the point on the x-axis and σ is the surface charge density.

Explanation:

Let us assume that the finite end of the cylinder is positioned at the origin. And the rest of the cylinder lies on the (-x) axis, which is the vertical axis in this question. In the first case (inside the cylinder) we will calculate the electric field at an arbitrary point -x0. In the second case (outside), the point will be +x0.

<u>x = -x0:</u>

The cylinder is consist of the sum of the rings with the same radius.

First we will calculate the electric field at point -x0 created by the ring at an arbitrary point x.

We will also separate the ring into infinitesimal portions of length 'ds' where ds = Rdθ.

The charge of the portion 'ds' is 'dq' where dq = σds = σRdθ. σ is the surface charge density.

Now, the electric field created by the small portion is 'dE'.

$dE = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{\sigma Rd\theta}{R^2+x^2}$

The electric field is a vector, and it needs to be separated into its components in order us to integrate it. But, the sum of horizontal components is zero due to symmetry. Every dE has an equal but opposite counterpart which cancels it out. So, we only need to take the component with the sine term.

$dE = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{\sigma Rd\theta}{R^2+x^2} \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+R^2}} = dE = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{\sigma Rxd\theta}{(R^2+x^2)^{3/2}}$

We have to integrate it over the ring, which is an angular integration.

$E_{ring} = \int{dE} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{\sigma Rx}{(R^2+x^2)^{3/2}}\int\limits^{2\pi}_0 {} \, d\theta = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{\sigma Rx}{(R^2+x^2)^{3/2}}2\pi = \frac{1}{2\epsilon_0}\frac{\sigma Rx}{(R^2+x^2)^{3/2}}$

This is the electric field created by a ring a distance x away from the point -x0. Now we can integrate this electric field over the semi-infinite cylinder to find the total E-field:

$E_{cylinder} = \int{E_{ring}} = \frac{\sigma R}{2\epsilon_0}\int\limits^{-\inf}_{-2x_0} \frac{x}{(R^2+x^2)^{3/2}}dx = \frac{\sigma R}{2\epsilon_0}\frac{1}{\sqrt{R^2 + 4x_0^2}}$

The reason we integrate over -2x0 to -inf is that the rings above -x0 and below to-2x0 cancel out each other. Electric field is created by the rings below -2x0 to -inf.

<u>x = +x0: </u>

We will only change the boundaries of the last integration.

$E_{cylinder} = \int{E_{ring}} = \frac{\sigma R}{2\epsilon_0}\int\limits^{-\inf}_{x_0} \frac{x}{(R^2+x^2)^{3/2}}dx = \frac{\sigma R}{2\epsilon_0}\frac{1}{\sqrt{R^2 + x_0^2}}$

Particles 1 and 2 of charge q1 = q2 = +3.20 × 10−19 C are on a y axis at distance d = 17.0 cm from the origin. Particle 3 of cha

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

(a) 0.17 m

(b) 5.003 m

(c) 6.38 × $10^{-26}$ N

(d) 7.37 × $10^{-29}$ N

Explanation:

(a) The minimum value of $x$ will occur when q3 = 0 m or at origin and q1, q2 are at 0.17 m so the distance between q3 and q1, q2 is 0.17 m, therefore the <em>minimum value of x= 0.17 m</em>.

(b) The maximum value of x will occur when q3 = 5 m because it is said in the question that 5 is the maximum distance travelled by q3. To find the hypotenuse i.e. the distance between q3 and q1,q2, we use Pythagoras theorem.

$h^{2} = b^{2} + p^{2}$

$h^{2} = 5^{2} + 0.17^{2} \\h = \sqrt{} 25.03\\h= 5.002 m$

<em>Hence, the maximum distance is 5.002 m</em>

(c) For minimum magnitude we use the minimum distance calculated in (a)

Minimum Distance = 0.17 m

For electrostatic force= $F=\frac{kq1q2}{x^{2} }$

$F=\frac{9 x 10^{9} x3.2x10^{-19}x 6.4x10^{-19} }{0.17^{2} }$

$F= 6.38$ × $10^{-26} N$

(d) For maximum magnitude, we use the maximum distance calculated in (b)

Maximum Distance = 5.002 m

Using the formula for electrostatic force again:

F = $\frac{9x10^{9}x3.2x10^{-19}x6.4x10^{-19} }{5.002^{2} } }$

F= 7.37× $10^{-29$ N
