A capacitor consists of two square plates, 8.7 cm on a side, separated by a 2.0 mm air gap. How much energy would be stored in t

he capacitor if a mica dielectric is placed between the plates? Assume the mica is 2.0 mm thick (and therefore fills the space between the plates).The charges on the plates are equal and opposite and of magnitude 240 μC .

Answer:

122.84 J

Explanation:

Since plate is square, area, A is given by (8.7/100)^{2}=0.007569m^{2}

The distance between plates, d, is given in the question as 2mm=0.002m

Charge on plate, Q, as given in the question is 240 \mu c

Assuming mica dielectric constant, k of 7

Capacitance, C is given by

C=\frac {k\epsilon_{o}A}{d}=\frac {(7)(8.85*10^{-12})(0.007569)}{0.002}=2.34*10*^{-10}F

Stored energy, E is given by

E=\frac {Q^{2}}{2C}=\frac {(240*10^{-6})^{2}}{2*(2.34*10^{-10})}=122.84J

Therefore, the stored energy is 122.84 J

An apple weighs 1.00 N. When you hang it from the end of a long spring of force constant 1.50 N/m and negligible mass, it bounce
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

2.67 m

Explanation:

k = Spring constant = 1.5 N/m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

l = Unstretched length

Frequency of SHM motion is given by

f_s=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

Frequency of pendulum is given by

f_p=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{l}}

Given in the question

f_p=\dfrac{1}{2}f_s

\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{l}}=\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{\dfrac{g}{l}}=\dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{g}{l}=\dfrac{1}{4}\dfrac{k}{m}\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{4gm}{k}\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{4\times 9.81\times \dfrac{1}{9.81}}{1.5}\\\Rightarrow l=2.67\ m

The unstretched length of the spring is 2.67 m

At the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.81 m/s2 . A watermelon has a weight of 40.0 N at the s
Mumz [18]

Answer

acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter's moon,g' = 1.81 m/s²

weight of water melon on earth, W = 40 N

acceleration due to gravity on earth, g = 9.8 m/s²

a) Mass on the earth surface

    M = \dfrac{W}{g}

    M = \dfrac{40}{9.8}

           M = 4.08 Kg

b) Mass on the surface of Lo

 Mass of an object remain same.

  Hence, mass of object at the surface of Lo = 4.08 Kg.

c) Weight at the surface of Lo

   W' = m g'

   W' =4.08 x 1.81

   W' = 7.38 N
