Wo thin uniformly charged rods, each with length L and total charge +Q, are parallel and separated by a distance a. The first rod has one end at the origin and its other end on the positive y-axis. The second rod has its lower end on the positive x-axis

Determine the x-component of the differential force dF2 exerted on a small portion of the second rod, with length dy2 and position y2, by the first rod. (This requires integrating over differential portions of the first rod, parameterized by dy1.)

Which statement correctly describes a step-up transformer? a. it increases the amount of electric energy available. b. it increases the voltage of an electric current. c. it changes direct current into alternating current. d. it has more loops of wire in its primary coil.

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 740 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of theta= 26 with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is uk = 0.17. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. the block's initial mechanical energy is 9.472 j. b. if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance l in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.

Is the vertical component of velocity ever zero?
