The potential difference across the capacitor is 5 × 10∧4 volts and the energy stored in it is 1. 25 Joules

<h3>What is the energy in a capacitor?</h3>

The energy stored in a capacitor is an electrostatic potential energy.

It is related to the charge(Q) and voltage (V) between the capacitor plates.

It is represented as 'U'.

<h3>How to determine the potential difference</h3>

Formula:

Potential difference, V is the ratio of the charge to the capacitance of a capacitor.

It is calculated using:

V = Q ÷ C

Where Q = charge 5 × 10∧-5C and C = capacitance 10∧-9

Substitute the values into the equation

Potential difference, V = 5 × 10∧-5 ÷  10∧-9 = 5 × 10∧4 volts

<h3>How to determine the energy stored</h3>

Formula:

Energy, U = 1 ÷ 2 (QV)

Where Q= charge and V = potential difference across the capacitor

Energy, U = 1 ÷ 2 ( 5 × 10∧-5 × 5 × 10∧4)

= 0.5 × 25 × 10∧-1

= 0.5 × 2.5

= 1. 25 Joules

Therefore, the potential difference across the capacitor is 5 × 10∧4 volts and the energy stored in it is 1. 25 Joules

BaLLatris [955]
Quantum theory is the theoretical basis of modern physics that explains the nature and behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level. The nature and behavior of matter and energy at that level is sometimes referred to as quantum physics and quantum mechanics.

romanna [79]

Answer:

a. 299,792,458 m/s

Explanation:

Since the speed of light in a vacuum is invariant and has the value of 299,792,458 m/s, we would measure this value of 299,792,458 m/s for the speed of light from the star as it arrives on Earth.

A ski tow operates on a slope of angle 15.6 ∘ of length 340 m . The rope moves at a speed of 12.7 km/h and provides power for 53
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

P = 34034.2 Watt

Explanation:

As we know that the slope angle is given as

\theta = 15.6^0

now the weight of the rider along the slope is given as

W = mgsin\theta

W = 69(9.81)sin15.6

W = 182 N

now total weight of all 53 riders along the slope is given as

F = 53 W

F = 9647.5 N

now the speed of the rope is given as

v = 12.7 km/h = 3.53 m/s

now the power required is given as

P = F.v

P = 9647.5(3.53)

P = 34034.2 Watt
