Answer:

C. You will experience the same amount of force on all sides.

Explanation:

This is because the only force acting on your hand as a result of the wooden block is gravitational force because no external pressure is exerted on the block.

Gravitational force is a product of mass and acceleration. It has nothing to do with the surface area of the object.

Hence, regardless of the surface of the wooden block resting on your palm, the force remains the same.

C. You will experience the same amount of force on all sides.

The normal force of weight will not differ for different positions of the block.

But the force of pressure applied to the surface of your hand is per unit area. So the side with the smallest area (3 cm x 6 cm) will exert more pressure over a smaller area.

A parallel-plate capacitor has a plate area of 0.2m^2 and a plate separation of 0.1mm. To obtain an electric field of 2.0 × 10^6
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

3.536*10^-6 C

Explanation:

The magnitude of the charge is expresses as Q = CV

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

V is the voltage across the capacitor

Get the capacitance

C = ε0A/d

ε0 is the permittivity of the dielectric = 8.84 x 10-12 F/m

A is the area = 0.2m²

d is the plate separation = 0.1mm = 0.0001m

Substitute

C = 8.84 x 10-12 * 0.2/0.0001

C = 1.768 x 10-8 F

Get the potential difference V

Using the formula for Electric field intensity

E = V/d

2.0 × 10^6  = V/0.0001

V = 2.0 × 10^6  * 0.0001

V = 2.0 × 10^2V

Get the charge on each plate.

Q = CV

Q =  1.768 x 10-8 * 2.0 × 10^2

Q = 3.536*10^-6 C

Hence the magnitude of the charge on each plate should be 3.536*10^-6 C

Your friend says that if Newton’s third law is correct, no object would ever start moving. Here is his argument: You pull a sled
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

You pull a sled exerting a 50 N force on it , sled also exerts a force on you . These forces are action and reaction force , as per third law of Newton . These two forces are equal and  opposite . But they do not act on the same object so they do not cancel each other . They act on different objects , one on the sledge and the other on you . Due to force on sledge , sledge moves in the direction of force or towards you . You will start moving in opposite direction if frictional force of ground is nil or less .
