A finite rod of length L has total charge q, distributed uniformly along its length. The rod lies on the x -axis and is centered

at the origin. Thus one endpoint is located at (−L/2,0), and the other is located at (L/2,0). Define the electric potential to be zero at an infinite distance away from the rod. Throughout this problem, you may use the constant k in place of the expression 14πϵ0.

Answer:

the electric potential at an infinite distance is the workdone in moving a charge from one point at an infinite distance to another point at an infinite distance. This will be zero.

Explanation:

Electric potential is given by

E= kQ/r²

If r becomes   ∞, then

E= kQ/(∞)²= 0

So electric potential at an infinite distance away from the rod is zero

A box of mass 3kg is lifted 1.5m onto a shelf. Calculate the change in its gravitational potential energy. The gravitational fie
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The change in gravitational potential energy is 45 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 3 kg

Distance = 1.5 m

Gravitational field strength = 10 N/kg

We need to calculate the change in gravitational potential energy

Using formula of  gravitational potential energy

Change\ in\ gravitational\ potential\ energy =gravitational\ field\ strength\times mass\times distance

Put the value into the formula

Change\ in\ gravitational\ potential\ energy =10\times3\times1.5

Change\ in\ gravitational\ potential\ energy =45\ J

Hence, The change in gravitational potential energy is 45 J.

Whipple is confused about the connection between the velocity and acceleration of the tennis ball. he decides to compare the vel
tamaranim1 [39]

The speed of the ball is always zero and the acceleration is always -g when it reaches the top of its motion. This is because when the ball is free, only gravity acts on it which is always downwards, hence g is the net acceleration and it is always negative. However the velocity does not direction change instantly, negative acceleration first slows down the ball with a positive velocity, until that point the ball keeps moving up, then the ball velocity becomes zero just before changing direction and becoming negative after which the ball will now go down along gravity. Hence the ball velocity is zero at the top (neither going up nor down). Mathematically this can be seen as velocity is the integration of acceleration.

Why should you never determine the mass of a hot object?
Alex Ar [27]
First reason is safety, of course.

Second reason, the hot object radiates heat in the form of convection current which will heat the air around it.
This current can cause instabilities in measurements especially when using sensitive digital scales.

lukranit [14]

This force on compass dials is an example of a force that acts at a distance.  (A compass doesn't need to touch the molten core of the Earth in order to work correctly.)
