Xy-plane Definition and 21 Threads

Hello, This question, which I found in various electricitiy and magnetism books (e.g. Introduction to electrodynamics grif.). There are many variations of this question, I am mainly interested in the following setup of it: -Suppose there is a charged disk of radius R lying in the xy-plane, and...

Homework Statement [/B] An object of m-mass is to be thrown from xy-plane with an initial velocity ##\mathbf v_0 = v_0\mathbf e_z \, (v_0 > 0)## to a force field ##\mathbf F = -F_0 e^{-z/h}\mathbf e_z\,## , where ##F_0, h > 0## are constants. By what condition does the object return to...

Homework Statement Calculate the line integral ° v ⋅ dr along the curve y = x3 in the xy-plane when -1 ≤ x ≤ 2 and v = xy i + x2 j. Note: Sorry the integral sign doesn't seem to work it just makes a weird dot, looks like a degree sign, ∫.2. The attempt at a solution I have to write something...

Homework Statement Hello! Last week I have came here for the help related to this problem. I am creating a new thread to describe the issue more precisely. I will be grateful for your help and explanation. I post the explanation for the book first accompanied by attached pictures, and below I...

Homework Statement Essentially it gives the potential above the xy-plane as and I am tasked with verifying it satisfies laplace's equation, determining the electric field, and describing the charge distribution on the plane. Homework Equations then The Attempt at a Solution As far as I...

Hello, I picked up a challenging problem (at least to me) and I'm having difficulties. 1. Homework Statement An object moves in xy-plane from point O = (0; 0) to point A = (1 m; 0) and from there to point B = (1 m; 2 m). All this time when the object moves a force \vec F = ax2\vec i + by\vec...

Homework Statement [/b] "Find an equation for the line through the point P = (1, 0, −3) and perpendicular to the xy-plane," obviously this includes vector <0, 0, 1> I am in Calc III and need help understanding how to do this TYPE of problem. Please include step-by-step instructions and...

Part of a chapter review problem. Say you have a sphere centered at the origin and of radius 'a'. And you have a (ice-cream) cone which has it's point at the origin and phi equal to ∏/3. How do I find the equation of their intersection? Which is the projection onto the xy plane...

Homework Statement Consider a circular ring of wire of radius a that resides in the x-y plane through the origin. The center of the ring coincides with the origin and you can regard the thickness of the wire to be infinitesimal. a. Given that a current I flows in the ring, find an...

What does it mean if a line in R^3 is parallel to the xy-plane but not to any of the axes. I really don't know what this means in terms of how the parametric and symmetric equations of the line should look. Please help. Thanks.

Homework Statement So my question is: what is the volume of the region R between the paraboloid 4-x^2-y^2 and the xy-plane? Homework Equations I know how to solve it, it is a triple integral, but how do you find the limits of integration? The Attempt at a Solution Do I set x=0...
