Use the formula for distance dropped from rest:

D = 1/2 a t^2 .

With no air resistance, you get about 8.8 sec.

I'm pretty sure you can fill in the missing work.

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

Pls help with either of these I will give up brainliest
Contact [7]

Answer:

1. The bird close to the center

2. 4/25 of the original force.

Explanation:

1. Tangential velocity is v=w*d (in m/s), where w is the rotational speed, commonly denoted as the letter omega (in radians per second). d is the distance from the center of the rotating object to the position of where you would like to calculate the velocity (in meters).

As we can note, the furthest from the center we are calculating the velovity the higher it is, because the rotational velocity is not changing but the distance of the object with respect to the center is. If v=w*d, then the lower the d (distance) the lower the tangential velocity.

2. Take a look at the picture:

We have the basic equation for the gravitational force.

We have to forces: Fg1, which is the original force, and Fg2, the force when the mass and the distance changes.

If we consider that mass 2 didn't change (m2'=m2), mass 1 is four times its original (m1'=4*m1) and distance is 5 times the original (r'=5*r), then next step is just plugging it into the equation for Fg2.

Dividing the original force Fg1 by the new force Fg2 (notice you can just as well do the inverse, Fg2 divided by Fg1) gives us the relation between the forces, cancelling all the variables and being left only with a simple fraction!

Two very small spheres are initially neutral and separated by a distance of 0.66 m. Suppose that 5.7 × 1013 electrons are remove
andrezito [222]

Answer:

1.718 N , attractive

Explanation:

r = 0.66 m, n = 5.7 x 10^13

q1 = 5.7 x 10^13 x 1.6 x 10^-19 = 9.12 x 10^-6 C

q2 = - 5.7 x 10^13 x 1.6 x 10^-19 = - 9.12 x 10^-6 C

F = K q1 q2 / r^2

F = 9 x 10^9 x  9.12 x 10^-6 x 9.12 x 10^-6 / (0.66)^2

F = 1.718 N

As both the charges are opposite in nature, so the force between them is attractive.

What is the purpose of the commutator in an electric motor?
Alex777 [14]
<span>Commutator is the moving part of the electric motor and periodically reverses the current direction between the rotor and the external circuit.One end of the coil is attached to each half of the commutator.  Commutator are used so when electricity flows through the circuit, the coil will rotate continually in the same direction.</span>
