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

What structure help support plants
natka813 [3]
The cell structure that helps support plants is the cell wall. It provides a shell structure around the main cell of the plant and its layers so then it will have the adequate amount of strength that it needs. It's also one of the reasons why even non-woody plants such as herbs have the strength of support itself.

A paintball’s mass is 0.0032kg. A typical paintball strikes a target moving at 85.3 m/s.
vekshin1

Answer:

A)  If the paintball stops completely the magnitude of the change in the paintball’s momentum is  p=0.273kg*m/s

B) If the paintball bounces off its target and afterward moves in the opposite direction with the same speed, the change in the paintball’s momentum is  p=0.546kg*m/s

C) A paintball bouncing off your skin in the opposite direction with the same speed hurts more than a paintball exploding upon your skin because of the strength exerted is twice than if it explodes.

Explanation:

Hi

A) We use the formula of momentum p=mv, so we have p=0.0032kg*85.3m/s=0.273kg*m/s

B) We use the same formula above, then due we have a change of direction at the same speed, therefore the change in the momentum is the double so

p=2*0.0032kg*85.3m/s=0.546kg*m/s.

C) The average strength of the force an object exerts during impact is determined by the amount the object’s momentum changes. therefore

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}, as we don't have any data about the impact time but we know momentum is twice, time does no matter and strength is twice too.
