A parallel-plate capacitor is constructed of two horizontal 12.0-cm-diameter circular plates. A 1.1 g plastic bead with a charge

of -5.6 nC is suspended between the two plates by the force of the electric field between them. What is the charge on the positive plate?

Answer:

The charge on positive plate is -1.92 \times 10^{-7} C

Explanation:

Given :

Diameter d = 0.12 m

Radius r = 0.06 m

Mass of bead = 1.1 \times 10^{-3} Kg

Charge of bead q = -5.6 \times 10^{-9} C

Electric field in capacitor is given by,

   E = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_{o}  A}

Where \epsilon _{o} = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}

For finding electric field in terms of force,

   E = \frac{F}{q}

But F = mg

F = 1.1 \times 10^{-3 } \times 9.8         ( g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} } )

F = 10.78 \times 10^{-3} N

So electric field, E = \frac{10.78 \times 10^{-3} }{-5.6 \times 10^{-9} }

E =- 1.92 \times 10^{6} \frac{N}{C}

Now charge on positive plate is,

Q = E \epsilon _{o} A

Q = -1.92 \times 10^{6} \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \times \pi   (0.06)^{2}

Q =- 1.92 \times 10^{-7} C

Therefore, the charge on positive plate is -1.92 \times 10^{-7} C

2m/s because the hockey puck is traveling at a constant speed ( acceleration is 0 ). Unless something acts on the hockey puck it will travel 2 m/s forever.

If "0.3 minute" is correct, then it's 9,543,272 Joules.

If it's supposed to say "0.3 SECOND", then the KE is 2,651 Joules.

Jill can use a force of 12.0 N to lift a single box up 5.00 m. How many of these boxes must she lift it in a minute to use 60.0
Mama L [17]

Answer:

60 boxes

Explanation:

The work done by lifting a single box is equal to the force applied (the weight of the box) times the displacement of the box:

W_1 = Fd=(12.0 N)(5.00 m)=60 J

Power is related to the work done by the equation:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where W is the work done and t is the time. In this problem, we are told that the power used is P=60.0 W, while the time taken is t = 1 min = 60 s, so the total work done must be

W=Pt=(60.0 W)(60 s)=3600 J

Therefore, the number of boxes that she has to lift in order to use this power is the total work divided by the work done in lifting each box:

N=\frac{W}{W_1}=\frac{3,600 J}{60 J}=60

If it requires 8.0 J of work to stretch a particular spring by 2.0 cm from its equilibrium length, how much more work will be re
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The amount of work done required to stretch spring by additional 4 cm is 64 J.

Explanation:

The energy used for stretching spring is given by the relation :

E = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2}           .......(1)

Here k is spring constant and x is the displacement of spring from its equilibrium position.

For stretch spring by 2.0 cm or 0.02 m, we need 8.0 J of energy. Hence, substitute the suitable values in equation (1).

8 = \frac{1}{2}\timesk\times k \times(0.02)^{2}

k = 4 x 10⁴ N/m

Energy needed to stretch a spring by 6.0 cm can be determine by the equation (1).

Substitute 0.06 m for x and 4 x 10⁴ N/m for k in equation (1).

E = \frac{1}{2}\times4\times10^{4}\times (0.06)^{2}

E = 72 J

But we already have 8.0 J. So, the extra energy needed to stretch spring by additional 4 cm is :

E = ( 72 - 8 ) J = 64 J
