A plastic rod 1.5 m long is rubbed all over with wool, and acquires a charge of -9e-08 coulombs. We choose the center of the rod to be the origin of our coordinate system, with the x-axis extending to the right, the y-axis extending up, and the z-axis out of the page. In order to calculate the electric field at location A = < 0.7, 0, 0 > m, we divide the rod into 8 pieces, and approximate each piece as a point charge located at the center of the piece. 1. What is the length of one of these pieces? 2. What is the location of the center of piece number 2? 3. How much charge is on piece number 2?

a) k = 0.1875 m

b) r2 = 0.46875 m

c) q = -1.125*10^-8 C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The total Length of rod L = 1.5 m

- The total charge of the rod Q = -9 * 10^8 C

- Total section of a rod n = 8

Find:

1. What is the length of one of these pieces?

2. What is the location of the center of piece number 2?

3. How much charge is on piece number 2?

Solution:

- The entire rod is divided into 8 pieces, so the length of each piece would be k:

                                     k = L / n

                                     k = 1.5 / 8

                                     k = 0.1875 m

- The distance from center of entire rod and center of section 2 is 2.5 times the section length

                                     r2 = 2.5*k

                                     r2 = 2.5*(0.1875)

                                     r2 = 0.46875 m

- Assuming the charge on the rod is uniformly distributed. The the charge for each section of rod is given by q:

                                     q = Q / n

                                     q = -9 * 10^8 / 8

                                     q = -1.125*10^-8 C

see below

step-by-step explanation:

7.   there are 10 data points in the set.   the middle point is between 5 and 6.   the middle point in the top half is 8   and the middle point in the bottom half is 3. to find the iqr , take point 8 and subtract point 3

mid term   point 8 = 100   point 3 = 88

iqr = 100-88 = 12

final   point 8 = 93   point 3 = 78

iqr = 93 - 78 = 15

the final has the greatest iqr

6.   b - there is a high data value that causes the data set to be asymmetrical for the males: the data for males are high and asymmetrical .   there is an outlier for the males that skews the data

5.   the   iqr is a better measure of spread for the movies and basketball games.   since the basketball game has an outlier, we do not want to use standard deviation for measurement.  

3.   the exam median is much higher than the class median.   the median line is farther to the right on the exams

2.   there is no way to tell what the means are from the box and whisker plots.  

for a it would be 24 children.

for b i don't understand the question. is it saying for each individual person they pick 5 reds to 7 greens or is it the whole group. clarify and i hope this can you.
