Here we want to study how the linear charge density changes as we change the measures of our body.

We will find that we need to add 9*Q of charge to keep the linear charge density unchanged.

<em>I will take two assumptions:</em>

The charge is homogeneous, so the density is constant all along the wire.

As we work with a linear charge density we work in one dimension, so the wire "has no radius"

Originally, the wire has a charge Q and a length L.

The linear charge density will be given by:

λ = Q/L

Now the length of the wire is stretched to 10 times the original length, so we have:

L' = 10*L

We want to find the value of Q' such that λ' (the <u>linear density of the stretched wire</u>) is still equal to λ.

Then we will have:

λ' = Q'/L' = Q'/(10*L) = λ = Q/L

Q'/(10*L) = Q/L

Q'/10 = Q

Q' = 10*Q

So the new <u>charge must be 10 times the original charge</u>, this means that we need to add 9*Q of charge to keep the linear charge density unchanged.

Find the magnitude of the resultant force and the angle it makes with the positive x-axis. (Let |a| = 22 lb and |b| = 16 lb. Rou
SVEN [57.7K]

Incomplete question as the angle between the force is not given I assumed angle of 55°.The complete question is here

Two forces, a vertical force of 22 lb and another of 16 lb, act on the same object. The angle between these forces is 55°. Find the magnitude and direction angle from the positive x-axis of the resultant force that acts on the object. (Round to one decimal places.)  

Answer:

Resultant Force=33.8 lb

Angle=67.2°

Explanation:

Given data

Fa=22 lb

Fb=16 lb

Θ=55⁰

To find

(i) Resultant Force F

(ii)Angle α

Solution

First we need to represent the forces in vector form

\sqrt{x} F_{1}=22j\\ F_{2}=u+v\\F_{2}=16sin(55)i+16cos(55)j\\F_{2}=16(0.82)i+16(0.5735)j\\F_{2}=13.12i+9.176j

Total Force

F=F_{1}+F_{2}\\ F_{2}=22j+13.12i+9.176j\\F_{2}=13.12i+31.176j

The Resultant Force is given as

|F|=\sqrt{x^{2} +y^{2} }\\|F|=\sqrt{(13.12)^{2} +(31.176)^{2} }\\ |F|=33.8lb

For(ii) angle

We can find the angle bu using tanα=y/x

So

tan\alpha =\frac{31.176}{13.12}\\ \alpha =tan^{-1} (\frac{31.176}{13.12})\\\alpha =67.2^{o}

Why might video games increase creativity while the use of cell phones, the internet, or computers do not?
taurus [48]

Explanation:

Video games are developed around a structure that is unique from your usual media, where there is a sense purpose in mind when playing a game, as decided by the player, and it allows them to explore creative options in order to solve scenarios, depending on the genre. In the use of phones, internet, or computers, this structure is more rare and diverse from video games, which does not lean more toward a creative purpose to build from. That idea gives people the inspiration and discover skills they never knew they even had.

liberstina [14]

Answer:

One of Eight Planets : Earth

Spiral galaxy, One of the estimated billions of galaxies: Milky Way

Galaxy: Milky Way

Explanation:

According to the definition, appositive or apposition is a grammatical construction which represents similar noun phrases and nouns where one serves or defines the other one.

Here, the ultimate examples of apposition are mentioned in the given statement as Earth: One of Eight Planets, Milky Way: Spiral Galaxy and one of the estimated billions of galaxies: Milky Way.

With such kinds of words, it's easier to understand the noun or renames with a short definition written as a phrase.

When droplets of water in the atmosphere act like prisms, the colors in sunlight undergo?
dexar [7]
White light is all the colours of light combined. When the droplets act like prisms, they split the white light into all its colours and also slightly bend the different colours. This is how a rainbow is formed.
