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

A certain unbalanced force gives a 5kg object an acceleration of 15 m/s2. What would be the acceleration if the same force was a
stira [4]

Answer:

a2 = 2.5 m/s2

Explanation:

F1 = m1 a1 We use the same force so F1 = F2

= 5kg × 15m/s2 F2 = m2 a2

= 75N a2 is required

a2 = F2 / m2

= 75N / 30 kg

= 2.5 m/s2

Choose whether each of the following statements is true or false. In order to move a massive crate sitting on the floor, the for
velikii [3]

Answer:

 

Explanation:

1. False

The force you apply on crate is equal and opposite to the force that crate applies on you by Newton's third law of motion.

The force must over come the static frictional force between the crate and the  floor.

2. True

The object can move along another direction than the direction of net force. For example, when a car slows down, the net force is opposite to the direction of motion.

3. True

An object moving at constant velocity has zero net force acting on it.

4. False

An object at rest has forces acting on it but the summation of all the forces is zero i.e. the net force is zero.

A sample of helium behaves as an ideal gas as energy is
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

0.0321 g

Explanation:

Let helium specific heat c_h = 5.193 J/g K

Assuming no energy is lost in the process, by the law of energy conservation we can state that the 20J work done is from the heat transfer to heat it up from 273K to 393K, which is a difference of ΔT = 393 - 273 = 120 K. We have the following heat transfer equation:

E_h = m_hc_h \Delta T = 20 J

where m_h is the mass of helium, which we are looking for:

m_h = \frac{20}{c_h \Delta T} = \frac{20}{5.193 * 120} \approx 0.0321 g
