Two facing surfaces of two large parallel conducting plates separated by 8.5 cm have uniform surface charge densities such that
elena-s [515]

Answer:

positive plate

E = 5.764 KV / m

W = 490eV or 7.85 * 10^-17 J

E_p = 4.74 *10^(-12) eV

E_k = 490 eV

Explanation:

part a

The potential difference between two plates = 490 V

Distance between two plates = 8.5 cm

Answer: The positive plate is at higher potential because of convention.

part b

Electric Field between the plates

E = V / d

E = 490 / 0.085 = 5.764 KV / m

Answer: Electric Field between the plates E = 5.764 KV / m

part c

Work done by electric field

W = V*q

W = 490 * 1.602*10^-19

W = 7.85 * 10^-17 J

or W = 490 eV

Answer: Work done by electric field W = 490eV or 7.85 * 10^-17 J

part d

Potential Energy of an electron gained:

E_p = m_e * g * d / (1.602*10^-19)

E_p =  9.109*10^-31* 9.81 * 0.085 / (1.602*10^-19)

E_p = 4.74 *10^(-12) eV

Very very small E_p approximately 0

Answer: Potential Energy of an electron gained E_p = 4.74 *10^(-12) eV or 0.

part e

Kinetic Energy of an electron gained:

W - E_p = E_k

E_k = 490eV - 4.74*10^(-12)eV

E_k = 490 eV

Answer: Kinetic Energy of an electron gained E_k = 490 eV

A weather balloon is filled to a volume of 6000 L while it is on the ground, at a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 273 K.
avanturin [10]

Answer : The final volume of the balloon at this temperature and pressure is, 17582.4 L

Solution :

Using combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 1 atm

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 0.3 atm

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 6000 L

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 273 K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 240 K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get the final pressure of gas.

\frac{1atm\times 6000L}{273K}=\frac{0.3atm\times V_2}{240K}

V_2=17582.4L

Therefore, the final volume of the balloon at this temperature and pressure is, 17582.4 L

Based upon the information you have learned throughout this module on blood spatter analysis, do you feel that analyzing blood s
kompoz [17]

Answer:

I do not think that it is the most reliable way to gain information since it is very hard to do and can be easily messed up. No, I don't think you can charge someone on only evidence from blood spatter, but if there was additional evidence I think that this would definitely help with the case but not on its own, since it doesn’t give you physical evidence about the suspect.
