Two parallel-plate capacitors, identical except that one has twice the plate separation of the other, are charged by the same vo

Answer:

The capacitor having less distance of separation has a stronger electric field.

Explanation:

The capacitors are identical and only difference between them is that one has twice the plate separation of the other. Therefore, capacitance of the given capacitors C1 and C2 is,

C1= Aε/d  and C2=Aε/2d

The charges Q1 and Q2 on the capacitors of capacitance C1 and C2 respectively, is then given by the equation,

Q1=VC1

Q1=VAε/d

Q2=VC2

Q2=VAε/2d

Therefore, the surface charge density σ1 and σ2 for the capacitors is,

σ1=Q1/A

σ1=VAε/(d*A)

σ1=Vε/d

Similarly,

σ2=Q2/A

σ2=Vε/2d

The electric field between the plates is directly proportional to the surface charge density. And so electric field is inversely proportional to the distance of separation. Therefore the capacitor whose distance of separation is less has a stronger electric field.

There is a seasaw that's holding two men. The seesaw has a length of 18m that can pivot from a point at its center. Man 1 has a
Alex

Answer:

Distance=  2.3864m

Explanation:

So that the balance is in equilibrium parallel to the floor, we must match the moment each man makes with respect to the pivot point.

In many cases the point of application of force does not coincide with the point of application in the body. In this case the force acts on the object and its structure at a certain distance, by means of an element that transfers that action of this force to the object.

This combination of force applied by the distance to the point of the structure where it is applied is called the moment of force F with respect to the point. The moment will attempt a rotation shift or rotation of the object. The distance from the force to the point of application is called the arm.

Mathematically it is calculated by expression:

M= F×d

The moment caused by the first man is:

M1= 75kg × (9.81m/s²) × 1.75m= 1287.5625 N×m

The moment caused by the second man must be equal to that caused by the first by which:

M2= 1287.5625 N×m= 55kg × (9.81m/s²) × distance ⇒

⇒distance= (1287.5625 N×m)/( (55kg × (9.81m/s²) )= 2.3864m

At this distance from the pivot point, the second should sit down so that the balance is balanced parallel to the ground.

A person driving her car at 48 km/h approaches an intersection just as the traffic light turns yellow. She knows that the yellow
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

She must stop the car  before interception, distance traveled 12.66 m

Explanation:

We will take all units to the SI system

Vo = 48Km / h (1000m / 1Km) (1h / 3600s) = 13.33 m / s

V2 = 70 Km / h = 19.44 m / s

We calculate the distance traveled before stopping

X = Vo t + ½ to t²

Time is what it takes traffic light to turn red  is t = 2.0 s

X = 13.33 2 + 1.2 (-7) 2²

X = 12.66 m

It stops car before reaching the traffic light turning to red

Let's analyze what happens if you accelerate, let's calculate the acceleration of the vehicle

     V2 = Vo + a t2

      a = (V2-Vo) / t2

      a = (19.44-13.33) /6.6

      a = 0.926 m / s2

This is the acceleration to try to pass the interception, now let's calculate the distance it travels in the time the traffic light changes from yellow to red (t = 2.0 s)

X = Vo t + ½ to t²

X = 13.33 2 + ½ 0.926 2²

X = 28.58 m

Since the vehicle was 30 m away, the interception does not happen
