Answer: Skinfold testing

Explanation:

Skinfold testing, is also referred to as calliper testing and it's used to know the body fat percentage. Skinfold testing is an inexpensive, portable, and common way to assess body fat in the fitness industry.

It is typically done with the use of caliper tapes, marker pens which makes it cheap. Skinfold testing isn't usually accurate which is as a result of human errors.

A uniform line charge of density λ lies on the x axis between x = 0 and x = L. Its total charge is 7 nC. The electric field at x

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The electric field at x = 3L is 166.67 N/C

Solution:

As per the question:

The uniform line charge density on the x-axis for x, 0< x< L is $\lambda$

Total charge, Q = 7 nC = $7\times 10^{- 9} C$

At x = 2L,

Electric field, $\vec{E_{2L}} = 500N/C$

Coulomb constant, K = $8.99\times 10^{9} N.m^{2}/C^{2}$

Now, we know that:

$\vec{E} = K\frac{Q}{x^{2}}$

Also the line charge density:

$\lambda = \frac{Q}{L}$

Thus

Q = $\lambda L$

Now, for small element:

$d\vec{E} = K\frac{dq}{x^{2}}$

$d\vec{E} = K\frac{\lambda }{x^{2}}dx$

Integrating both the sides from x = L to x = 2L

$\int_{0}^{E}d\vec{E_{2L}} = K\lambda \int_{L}^{2L}\frac{1}{x^{2}}dx$

$\vec{E_{2L}} = K\lambda[\frac{- 1}{x}]_{L}^{2L}] = K\frac{Q}{L}[frac{1}{2L}]$

$\vec{E_{2L}} = (9\times 10^{9})\frac{7\times 10^{- 9}}{L}[frac{1}{2L}] = \frac{63}{L^{2}}$

Similarly,

For the field in between the range 2L< x < 3L:

$\int_{0}^{E}d\vec{E} = K\lambda \int_{2L}^{3L}\frac{1}{x^{2}}dx$

$\vec{E} = K\lambda[\frac{- 1}{x}]_{2L}^{3L}] = K\frac{Q}{L}[frac{1}{6L}]$

$\vec{E} = (9\times 10^{9})\frac{7\times 10^{- 9}}{L}[frac{1}{6L}] = \frac{63}{6L^{2}}$

Now,

If at x = 2L,

$\vec{E_{2L}} = 500 N/C$

Then at x = 3L:

$\frac{\vec{E_{2L}}}{3} = \frac{500}{3} = 166.67 N/C$

What causes convection currents, and what do they do?

frez [133]

Answer:

Convection currents are the result of different heating. Lighter material (warm) rises while heavier (cold) material sinks. This movement of the materials is what causes convection currents! (BTW, it happens in water, in the atmosphere, and in the mantle of Earth!

Explanation:

I hope this helps a little! :)

Two carts collide on a low-friction track. Cart 1 has an initial momentum of +10 kg⋅m/sι^ and a final momentum of -5.0 kg⋅m/sι^

Basile [38]

According to the saving of the momentum, the total momentum before collision is equal to the total momentum after collision

in symbols:

$P_{i1}+P_{i2}=P_{f1}+P_{f2}$
