Answer:
34.6 m/s
Explanation:
From conservation of momentum, the sum of initial and final momentum are equal. Momentum is a product of mass and velocity. Initial mass will be 42.8+31.5+25.9=100.2 kg
Final mass will be 31.5+25.9=57.4 kg
From formula of momentum
M1v1=m2v2
Making v2 the subject of the formula then
Substitute 100.2 kg for M1, 19.8 m/s fkr v1 and 57.4 kg for m2 then
Answer:
at the beginning:
when the plates are pulled apart:
Explanation:
The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by
where
k is the relative permittivity of the medium (for air, k=1, so we can omit it)
is the permittivity of free space
A is the area of the plates of the capacitor
d is the separation between the plates
In this problem, we have:
is the area of the plates
is the separation between the plates at the beginning
Substituting into the formula, we find
Later, the plates are pulled apart to , so the capacitance becomes
