Answer:
Explanation:
The force on the point charge q exerted by the rod can be found by Coulomb's Law.
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:
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.
Now, substitute this into 'dF':
Now we can integrate dF over the rod.
Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of rock, m = 2.35-kg
It was released from rest at a height of 21.4 m.
(a) The kinetic energy is given by :
As the rock was at rest initially, it means, its kinetic energy is equal to 0.
(b) The gravitational potential energy is given by :
It can be calculated as :
(c) The mechanical energy is equal to the sum of kinetic and potential energy such that,
M = 0 J + 492.84 J
M = 492.84 J
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
a) see attached, a = g sin θ
b)
c) v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))
Explanation:
In the attached we can see the forces on the sphere, which are the attention of the bar that is perpendicular to the movement and the weight of the sphere that is vertical at all times. To solve this problem, a reference system is created with one axis parallel to the bar and the other perpendicular to the rod, the weight of decomposing in this reference system and the linear acceleration is given by
Wₓ = m a
W sin θ = m a
a = g sin θ
b) The diagram is the same, the only thing that changes is the angle that is less
θ' = 9/2 θ
c) At this point the weight and the force of the bar are in the same line of action, so that at linear acceleration it is zero, even when the pendulum has velocity v, so it follows its path.
The easiest way to find linear speed is to use conservation of energy
Highest point
Em₀ = mg h = mg L (1-cos tea)
Lowest point
Emf = K = ½ m v²
Em₀ = Emf
g L (1-cos θ) = v² / 2
v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))
