A uniformly charged, one-dimensional rod of length L has total positive charge Q. Itsleft end is located at x = ????L and its ri

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

$|\vec{F}| = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qQ}{L}(\ln(L+x_0)-\ln(x_0))$

Explanation:

The force on the point charge q exerted by the rod can be found by Coulomb's Law.

$\vec{F} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}\^r$

Unfortunately, Coulomb's Law is valid for points charges only, and the rod is not a point charge.

In this case, we have to choose an infinitesimal portion on the rod, which is basically a point, and calculate the force exerted by this point, then integrate this small force (dF) over the entire rod.

We will choose an infinitesimal portion from a distance 'x' from the origin, and the length of this portion will be denoted as 'dx'. The charge of this small portion will be 'dq'.

Applying Coulomb's Law:

$d\vec{F} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qdq}{x + x_0}(\^x)$

The direction of the force on 'q' is to the right, since both charges are positive, and they repel each other.

Now, we have to write 'dq' in term of the known quantities.

$\frac{Q}{L} = \frac{dq}{dx}\\dq = \frac{Qdx}{L}$

Now, substitute this into 'dF':

$d\vec{F} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qQdx}{L(x+x_0)}(\^x)$

Now we can integrate dF over the rod.

$\vec{F} = \int{d\vec{F}} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qQ}{L}\int\limits^{L}_0 {\frac{1}{x+x_0}} \, dx = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qQ}{L}(\ln(L+x_0)-\ln(x_0))(\^x)$

An airplane traveling at 201 m/s makes a turn. What is the smallest radius of the circular path (in km) that the pilot can make

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

the smallest radius of the circular path is 8.1 km

Explanation:

The computation of the smallest radius of the circular path is given below:

Given that

V = Velocity = 201 m/s

a_c = acceleration = 5 m/s^2

radius = ?

As we know that

a_c = V^2 ÷ r

5 = 201^2 ÷ r

r = 201^2 ÷ 5

= 8,080.2 g

= 8.1 km

Hence, the smallest radius of the circular path is 8.1 km

A children's roller coaster is released from the top of a track. If its maximum speed at ground level is 3 m/s, find the height

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

h = 0.46 m

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy:

Potential Energy Lost by Roller Coaster = Kinetic Energy Gained by Roller Coaster

$mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\2gh = v^2\\\\h = \frac{v^2}{2g}$

where,

h = height = ?

v = speed at bottom = 3 m/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

$h = \frac{(3\ m/s)^2}{(2)(9.81\ m/s^2)}$

h = 0.46 m
