I just read the textbook answer but I want to know why my answer is wrong and not just a different method to the same answer

Yes and dE = kdQ/r^2 so the denominator is r^2 where r = Rcos(θ) squared, because dE_x is Rcosθ distance away

My attempt: due to symmetry along x-axis, net E is only along x^hat. dQ = λ dl = λ (R dθ) for each dl, the x component of distance from...

Both expressions for Δx and are only valid for the case where t1=0.

The two calculations have a different initial velocity. Your initial formula should be: $$x = (v_0(t_2) + \frac 1 2 at_2^2) - (v_0(t_1)...

Assuming initial displacement is zero, if x = v₁(t) + ½a(t)², why isnt Δx = x2-x1 = (v₁(t2) + ½a(t2)²) - (v₁(t1) + ½a(t1)²) = v₁(t₂ -...
