The rectangular plates in a parallel-plate capacitor are 0.063 m x 5.4 m. A distance of 3.5 x 10^-5m separate the plates. The pl

The capacitance of the capacitor is $1.8\cdot 10^{-9}F$

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by the equation

$C=\frac{k\epsilon_0 A}{d}$

where

k is the dielectric constant of the medium

$\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m$ is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

For the capacitor in this problem, we have:

k = 2.1 is the dielectric constant

$d=3.5\cdot 10^{-5}m$ is the separation between the plates

$A=0.063m \cdot 0.054m = 0.0034 m^2$ (I assumed that 5.4 m is a typo, since it is not a realistic size for the side of the plate)

Therefore, the capacitance of the capacitor is

$C=\frac{(2.1)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(0.0034)}{3.5\cdot 10^{-5}}=1.8\cdot 10^{-9}F$

You want to move a 4- kg bookcase to a different place in the living room. If u push with a force of 65 n and the bookcase accel

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

1.65

Explanation:

The equation of the forces along the horizontal direction is:

$F-F_f = ma$ (1)

where

F = 65 N is the force applied with the push

$F_f$ is the frictional force

m = 4 kg is the mass

$a=0.12 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

The force of friction can be written as $F_f = \mu R$ (2), where

$\mu$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction

R is the normal force exerted by the floor

The equation of forces along the vertical direction is

$R-mg=0$ (3)

since the bookcase is in equilibrium. Substituting (2) and (3) into (1), we find

$F-\mu mg = ma$

And solving for $\mu$ ,

$\mu = \frac{F-ma}{mg}=\frac{65-(4)(0.12)}{4(9.8)}=1.65$

how much water is needed to produce 1kwh of electricity at a power plant that is 30% efficient if the temperature increase 10 C

Dimas [21]

The amount of water needed is 287 kg

Explanation:

The amount of energy that we need to produce with the power plant is

$E=1 kWh = (1000W)(1h)=(1000W)(3600s)=3.6\cdot 10^6 J$

We also know that the power plant is only 30% efficient, so the energy produced in input must be:

$E_{in}=\frac{E}{0.30}=\frac{3.6\cdot 10^6}{0.3}=1.2\cdot 10^7 J$

The amount of water that is needed to produce this energy can be found using the equation

$E_{in}=mC\Delta T$

where:

m is the amount of water

$C=4186 J/kg^{\circ}C$ is the specific heat capacity of water

$\Delta T=10^{\circ}C$ is the increase in temperature

And solving for m, we find:

$m=\frac{E_{in}}{C\Delta T}=\frac{1.2\cdot 10^7}{(4186)(10)}=287 kg$
