An ideal parallel-plate capacitor consists of a set of two parallel plates of area a separated by a very small distance

1 answer:

8 0

A capacitor is composed of two oppositely charged parallel plates that produce a magnetic field. That is why when it is placed in a circuit with an induced voltage, it can produce and store electricity. The equation relating this energy (E), the voltage (V) and the distance (d) between the plates of the capacitor is:

V = Ed

So if the voltage or potential difference is constant, then Ed=k. That means that any product of values of E and d would always be the same such that

E₁d₁ = E₂d₂

When d₂ is twice d₁, then d₂ = 2d₁:

E₁d₁ = E₂(2d₁)
E₂ = E₁/2

That means that the energy stored in the capacitor would decrease by a half.

A woman 5.5 ft walks at a rate of 6 ft/sec towards a street light that is 22 ft above the ground. At what rate is the length of

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The length of her shadow is changing at the rate -2 m/s

Explanation:

Let the height oh the street light, h = 22 ft

Let the height of the woman, w = 5.5 ft

Horizontal distance to the street light = l

length of shadow = x

h/w = (l + x)/x

22/5.5 = (l + x)/x

4x = l + x

3x = l

x = 1/3 l

taking the derivative with respect to t of both sides

dx/dt = 1/3 dl/dt

dl/dt = -6 ft/sec ( since the woman is walking towards the street light, the value of l is decreasing with time)

dx/dt = 1/3 * (-6)

dx/dt = -2 m/s

URGENTTT PLEASE HELPPPP. You put m1 = 1 kg of ice cooled to -20°C into mass m2 = 1 kg of water at 2°C. Both are in a thermally i

STatiana [176]

Answer:

Explanation:

heat lost by water will be used to increase the temperature of ice

heat gained by ice

= mass x specific heat x rise in temperature

1 x 2090 x t

heat lost by water in cooling to 0° C

= mcΔt where m is mass of water , s is specific heat of water and Δt is fall in temperature .

= 1 x 2 x 4186

8372

heat lost = heat gained

1 x 2090 x t = 8372

t = 4°C

There will be a rise of 4 degree in the temperature of ice.

Which scenario will drain the battery in the circuit diagram fastest: three 20 W bulbs in positions one, two, and three or 80 W

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

If you connect the three bulbs 20 W each will have a total power of 60W.

Now we need to understand to assign the meaning of the word gap, that is, if the circuit is open at that point or if there is no bulb connected at that point.

If the circuit is open at Point 2, there will be no current in the circuit, so the battery will drain faster with the three bulbs 20W.

In the second event, where gap means that there are no bulbs connected at that point, it means that you have two bulbs connected in series of 80W each.

In this case the bulbs will consume 160W thus drain the battery faster than the three 20W bulbs connected in series.

initially, a bowl holds 15 m^3 of water. an object is dropped into the bowl and the new volume of the water is 25 m^3. what is t

marusya05 [52]

Explanation:

The new volume of water = 25 ml

The old volume of water = 15 ml

The difference = 25 - 15 but what are the units?

Since the question asks for force, the units must start out as 10 mL

In water 1 mL has a mass of 1 gram, so the answer is 10 grams.

Grams are units of mass, not weight. You should convert this into newtons.

10 grams = 1/1000 = 0.01 kg

1 kg has a weight of 9.81 Newtons

0.01 kg has a weight 0.081 Newtons

If you have never seen a Newton before, then the answer is 10 grams
