Answer:

Qsinθ/4πε₀R²θ

Explanation:

Let us have a small charge element dq which produces an electric field E. There is also a symmetric field at P due to a symmetric charge dq at P. Their vertical electric field components cancel out leaving the horizontal component dE' = dEcosθ = dqcosθ/4πε₀R² where r is the radius of the arc.

Now, let λ be the charge per unit length on the arc. then, the small charge element dq = λds where ds is the small arc length. Also ds = Rθ.

So dq = λRdθ.

Substituting dq into dE', we have

dE' = dqcosθ/4πε₀R²

= λRdθcosθ/4πε₀R²

= λdθcosθ/4πε₀R

E' = ∫dE' = ∫λRdθcosθ/4πε₀R² = (λ/4πε₀R)∫cosθdθ from -θ to θ

E' = (λ/4πε₀R)[sinθ] from -θ to θ

E' = (λ/4πε₀R)[sinθ]

= (λ/4πε₀R)[sinθ - sin(-θ)]

= (λ/4πε₀R)[sinθ + sinθ]

= 2(λ/4πε₀R)sinθ

= (λ/2πε₀R)sinθ

Now, the total charge Q = ∫dq = ∫λRdθ from -θ to +θ

Q = λR∫dθ = λR[θ - (-θ)] = λR[θ + θ] = 2λRθ

Q = 2λRθ

λ = Q/2Rθ

Substituting λ into E', we have

E' = (Q/2Rθ/2πε₀R)sinθ

E' = (Q/θ4πε₀R²)sinθ

E' = Qsinθ/4πε₀R²θ where θ is in radians

A hypothetical planet has a mass 2.81 times that of Earth, but the same radius.
patriot [66]

The acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet is 27.38 m/s².

<h3>Acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet</h3>

g = GM/R²

where;

  • G is universal gravitation constant
  • M is mass of the planet
  • R is radius of the planet
  • g is acceleration due to gravity = ?

g = (6.626 x 10⁻¹¹ x 2.81 x 5.97 x 10²⁴) / (6371 x 10³)²

g = 27.38 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet is 27.38 m/s².

A 20 m high filled water tank develops a 0.50 cm hole in the vertical wall near the base. With what speed does the water shoot o
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The speed of the water shoot out of the hole is 20 m/s.

(d) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 20 m

We need to calculate the velocity

Using formula Bernoulli equation

\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2+\rho gh_{1}=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{2}^2+\rho gh_{2}

Where,

v₁= initial velocity

v₂=final velocity

h₁=total height

h₂=height of the hole from the base

Put the value into the formula

v_{1}^2=2g(h_{2}-h_{1})

v_{1}=\sqrt{2g(h_{2}-h_{1})}

v_{1}=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times(20-0.005)}

v_{1}=19.7\ m/s= approximate\ 20\ m/s

Hence, The speed of the water shoot out of the hole is 20 m/s.

Which of the following can only be a situation of increasing temperature?
Papessa [141]

Increasing the temperature causes an increase in the average kinetic energy of the particles of a material.

<h3>What is average kinetic energy of particles?</h3>

The average kinetic energy of particles is the energy possessed by particles due to their constant motion.

The constant motion of particles occurs due to the energy acquired by the particles, when the temperature of the particles increases, the average kinetic energy increases which in turn increases the speed of the particles.

Thus, we can conclude that, increasing the temperature causes an increase in the average kinetic energy of the particles of a material.
