Answer:

U=1.29\times 10^{-7}\ J

Explanation:

Given that

a= 8 cm (square)

A= a ² = 64 cm²

d= 4.2 mm

d₁= 2.1 mm  ,K₁= 4.7

d₂=2.1 mm  , K₂=2.6

We know that capacitance given as

C_1=\dfrac{K_1\varepsilon _oA}{d_1}

C_1=\dfrac{4.7\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 64\times 10^{-4}}{2.1\times 10^{-3}}

C_1=1.26\times 10^{-10}\ F

C_2=\dfrac{K_2\varepsilon _oA}{d_2}

C_2=\dfrac{2.6\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 64\times 10^{-4}}{2.1\times 10^{-3}}

C_2=0.701\times 10^{-10}\ F

Net capacitance

C=\dfrac{C_1C_2}{C_1+C_2}

C=\dfrac{1.26\times 10^{-10}\times 0.701\times 10^{-10}}{1.26\times 10^{-10}+0.701\times 10^{-10}}\ F

C=4.5\times 10^{-11}\ F

We know that stored energy given as

U=\dfrac{CV^2}{2}

V= 76 V

U=\dfrac{4.5\times 10^{-11}\times 76^2}{2}\ J

U=1.29\times 10^{-7}\ J

14. measuring cylinder containing some water stands on a scale pan. A solid ball is lowered into the water. The water level rise
Basile [38]

Answer:

Let d be the density of fluid.

So , Initial reading of balance, F1 =30dg N

After the level reaches 50cm^3

Final reading of balance , F2 =50dg N

Given that difference between final and initial reading is 30g

i.e, F2 −F1

=30 g

⟹50dg−30dg=30g

⟹20dg=30g

⟹d=30g/20g

⟹d=1.5g/cm^3

So, density of fluid is 1.5g/cm^3

If an airplane is flying at 300 km/h to the east and is facing a headwind of 18.0 km/h, what is the airplane's final velocity?
givi [52]
If an airplane is flying at 300 km/h to the east and is facing a headwind of 18.0 km/h, the final velocity can be calculated using simple vector addition. In this case, the planes velocity is positive (+330 km/h) and head wind has a negative component (-18.0 km/h). Vector addition yields +330 km / h + (-18.0 km /h) = 312 km / h.

A certain automobile is 6.0 m long if at rest. If it is measured to be 4.8 m long while moving, its speed is:
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

1.8*10^8m/s

Explanation:

Using

L= lo√1-v²/c²

So making v subject we have

V= c√1-4.8²/6²

V= 0.6*c

V= 0.6*3E8m/s

V= 1.8*10^8m/s
