A parallel-plate air capacitor is made from two plates 0.210 m square, spaced 0.815 cm apart. it is connected to a 120 v battery

. if the plates are pulled apart to a separation of 1.63 cm , suppose the battery remains connected while the plates are pulled apart. part a what is the capacitance?

Answer:

at the beginning: 2.3\cdot 10^{-10} F

when the plates are pulled apart: 1.1\cdot 10^{-10} F

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by

C=k \epsilon_0 \frac{A}{d}

where

k is the relative permittivity of the medium (for air, k=1, so we can omit it)

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m is the permittivity of free space

A is the area of the plates of the capacitor

d is the separation between the plates

In this problem, we have:

A=0.210 m^2 is the area of the plates

d=0.815 cm=8.15\cdot 10^{-3} m is the separation between the plates at the beginning

Substituting into the formula, we find

C=(1)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m)\frac{0.210 m^2}{8.15\cdot 10^{-3} m}=2.3\cdot 10^{-10} F

Later, the plates are pulled apart to d=1.63 cm=0.0163 m, so the capacitance becomes

C=(1)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m)\frac{0.210 m^2}{0.0163 m}=1.1\cdot 10^{-10} F

A woman exerts a horizontal force of 4 pounds on a box as she pushes it up a ramp that is 10 feet long and inclined at an angle
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

W = 34.64 ft-lbs

Explanation:

given,

Horizontal force = 4 lb

distance of push, d = 10 ft

angle of ramp, θ = 30°

Work done on the box = ?

We know,

W = F.d cos θ

W = 4 x 10 x cos 30°

W = 40 x 0.8660

W = 34.64 ft-lbs

Hence, work done on the box is equal to W = 34.64 ft-lbs

An object of mass m is moving down an inclined plane that makes an angle they a with the horizontal and has height h. Which of t
Lera25 [3.4K]
The answer should be B. According to the conservation of energy, the energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but it can be transformed. Since the object is moving down, that means its height is decreasing, causing the potential energy decreasing and the kinetic energy  increasing to fulfill the conservation law.

A rocket is moving at 1/4 the speed of light relative to Earth. At the center of this rocket a light suddenly flashes. To an obs
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

B. the light will reach the front of the rocket at the same instant that it reaches the back of the rocket.

Explanation:

To an observer at rest in the rocket who can't see either sides of the rocket, the speed of the light is constant which means the distance to the front or the back is same and would appear to reach the rocket at the same time.

Although from the point of view of the person on the earth, the front of the rocket is travelling in opposite direction of the light while the back of the rocket is moving closer to the light. This means that the distance travelled by the light going forward will be longer going backwards. And since the speed of light is constant in both directions, the light will reach the back of the rocket before it reaches the front  for the observer on the earth.
