A straight, nonconducting plastic wire 9.50 cm long carries a charge density of 130 nC/m distributed uniformly along its length.

It is lying on a horizontal tabletop.A) Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field this wire produces at a point 4.50 cm directly above its midpoint.B)If the wire is now bent into a circle lying flat on the table, find the magnitude and direction of the electric field it produces at a point 4.50 cm directly above its center.

Answer:

A) E = 3.70*10^{4} N/C

B) E = 2.281*10^3 N/C

Explanation:

given data:

charge density $\lambda = 130*10^{-9} C/m$

length of wire = 9.50 cm

a) at x = 4.5 m above midpoint, electric field is calculated as

$E = \frac{1}{ 2\pi \epsilon} * \frac{ \lambda}{x\sqrt{(x^2/a^2)+1}}$

x = 4.5 cm

midpoint a = 4.5 cm = 0.0475 m

$E =2{\frac{1}{ 8.99*10^9} * \frac{130*10^{-9} }{0.045\sqrt{(4.5^2/4.75^2)+1}}$

E = 3.70*10^{4} N/C

B) when wire is in circle form

$Q = \lambda * L$

$= 130*10^{-9} *9.5*10^{-2}$

= 1.235*10^{-8} C

Radius of circle

$r = \frac{L}{2\pi}$

$r = \frac{9.5*10^{-2}}{2\pi}$

r = 1.511*10^{-2} m

$E = \frac{1}{ 2\pi \epsilon} * \frac{Qx}{(x^2+r^2)^{3/2}}$

$E =8.99*10^{9} * \frac{1.23*10^{-8}*4.5*10^{-2}}{((4.5*10^{-2})^2+(1.511*10^{-2})^2)^{3/2}}$

E = 2.281*10^3 N/C

4.Use Ohm’s Law to determine the resistance in a circuit if the voltage is 12.0 volts and the current is 4.0 amps.

A. 8.0 ohms B. 48 ohms C. 3.0 ohms D. 12 ohms

Ohm's law is V=IR, or I=V/R, or R=V/I. (I= current, V= voltage, R= resistance.) Let's plug in our variables: V=12.0, I=4.0, R=? into the equation R=V/I. 12.0/4.0=3.0, so the resistance is 3.0 ohms.

Gravity is _____ force between objects that are moving closer to one another.

pishuonlain [190]

Gravity is a pair of forces of attraction between every
two objects. Period !

It doesn't matter whether they're moving together, moving apart,
moving gracefully in synchrony, or at rest. The gravitational forces
of attraction between them are always there.

(a) Consider the initial-value problem dA/dt = kA, A(0) = A0 as the model for the decay of a radioactive substance. Show that, i

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

a) $t = -\frac{ln(2)}{k}$

b) See the proof below

$A(t) = A_o 2^{-\frac{t}{T}}$

c) $t = 3T \frac{ln(2)}{ln(2)}= 3T$

Explanation:

Part a

For this case we have the following differential equation:

$\frac{dA}{dt}= kA$

With the initial condition $A(0) = A_o$

We can rewrite the differential equation like this:

$\frac{dA}{A} =k dt$

And if we integrate both sides we got:

$ln |A|= kt + c_1$

Where $c_1$ is a constant. If we apply exponential for both sides we got:

$A = e^{kt} e^c = C e^{kt}$

Using the initial condition $A(0) = A_o$ we got:

$A_o = C$

So then our solution for the differential equation is given by:

$A(t) = A_o e^{kt}$

For the half life we know that we need to find the value of t for where we have $A(t) = \frac{1}{2} A_o$ if we use this condition we have:

$\frac{1}{2} A_o = A_o e^{kt}$

$\frac{1}{2} = e^{kt}$

Applying natural log we have this:

$ln (\frac{1}{2}) = kt$

And then the value of t would be:

$t = \frac{ln (1/2)}{k}$

And using the fact that $ln(1/2) = -ln(2)$ we have this:

$t = -\frac{ln(2)}{k}$

Part b

For this case we need to show that the solution on part a can be written as:

$A(t) = A_o 2^{-t/T}$

For this case we have the following model:

$A(t) = A_o e^{kt}$

If we replace the value of k obtained from part a we got:

$k = -\frac{ln(2)}{T}$

$A(t) = A_o e^{-\frac{ln(2)}{T} t}$

And we can rewrite this expression like this:

$A(t) = A_o e^{ln(2) (-\frac{t}{T})}$

And we can cancel the exponential with the natural log and we have this:

$A(t) = A_o 2^{-\frac{t}{T}}$

Part c

For this case we want to find the value of t when we have remaining $\frac{A_o}{8}$

So we can use the following equation:

$\frac{A_o}{8}= A_o 2^{-\frac{t}{T}}$

Simplifying we got:

$\frac{1}{8} = 2^{-\frac{t}{T}}$

We can apply natural log on both sides and we got:

$ln(\frac{1}{8}) = -\frac{t}{T} ln(2)$

And if we solve for t we got:

$t = T \frac{ln(8)}{ln(2)}$

We can rewrite this expression like this:

$t = T \frac{ln(2^3)}{ln(2)}$

Using properties of natural logs we got:

$t = 3T \frac{ln(2)}{ln(2)}= 3T$
