Answer:

9.56\cdot 10^{-7} C

Explanation:

A parallel-plate capacitors consist of two parallel plates charged with opposite charge.

Since the distance between the plates (1 cm) is very small compared to the side of the plates (19 cm), we can consider these two plates as two infinite sheets of charge.

The electric field between two infinite sheets with opposite charge is:

E=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}

where

\sigma=\frac{Q}{A} is the surface charge density, where

Q is the charge on the plate

A is the area of the plate

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

In this problem:

- The side of one plate is

L = 19 cm = 0.19 m

So the area is

A=L^2=(0.19)^2=0.036m^2

Here we want to find the maximum charge that can be stored on the plates such that the value of the electric field does not overcome:

E=3\cdot 10^6 N/C

Substituting this value into the previous formula and re-arranging it for Q, we find the charge:

E=\frac{Q}{A\epsilon_0}\\Q=EA\epsilon_0 = (3\cdot 10^6)(0.036)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})=9.56\cdot 10^{-7} C

A SMART car can accelerate from rest to a speed of 28 m/s in 20s. What distance does it travel in this time?
sashaice [31]
Speed= distance/ time so distance = speed * time= 28 * 20= 560m .. so the answer is 560m.. l hope it helped :)

Answer:

The orbital period of a planet depends on the mass of the planet.

Explanation:

A less massive planet will take longer to complete one period than a more massive planet.

Why does a balloon filled with the air from your lungs sink to the ground but a balloon filled with Helium floats ?
hoa [83]

Helium is lighter than air from the lungs.

Explanation:

A balloon filled with the air from lungs will sink to the ground but a balloon filled with Helium floats because helium is lighter than air.

Air is a mixture of many gases.

The air from the lungs is predominantly made up of carbon dioxide and water vapor.

  • Gram per mole of carbon dioxide is 44. Water vapor is 18.
  • Compared to helium which is 4, we see that the gas is lighter.
  • Since the gas is lighter, it will float in air.
  • The main component of air around us is nitrogen gas with a gram per mole of 28.
  • A balloon filled with more of air from the lungs weigh more than that will filled air around and even far more than helium gas.
  • This will cause a helium filled balloon to float.

A bookcase has a base of 1 m long and 0.5 m wide. It has a mass of 300kg. Find the pressure it exerts on the floor in kPa.
Snezhnost [94]
1m*0.5m=0.5m^2\\
g=10\frac{m}{s^2}\\
300kg*10\frac{m}{s^2}=3000N\\
3000N--0.5m^2\\
\ \ x\ \ --\ 1\\
x=6000Pa=60kPa
