Answer:

4.7\mu m

Explanation:

We are given that

Potential difference=V=154 V

Surface charge density=\sigma=29nC/m^2=29\times 10^{-5} C/m^2

Using 1 nC/cm^2=10^{-5} C/m^2

We know that

C=\frac{\epsilon_0A}{d}=\frac{Q}{V}=\frac{\sigma A}{V}

d=\frac{\epsilon_0V}{\sigma}

Where

\epsilon_0=8.85\times 10^{-12}C^2/Nm^2

Using the formula

d=\frac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 154}{29\times 10^{-5}}

d=4.7\times 10^{-6} m=4.7\mu m

Using 1\mu m=10^{-6} m

Hence, the spacing between the plates=4.7\mu m

Four identical metallic objects carry the following charges 1.82 6.65 4.80 and 9.30 C The objects are brought simultaneously int
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

a) 5.64 C

b) 3.5*10¹⁹ protons

Explanation:

a)

  • Since the four metallic objects are identical, and total charge must be conserved, this means that after brought simultaneously into contact so that each touches the others, once separated, total charge must be the same than before being brought in contact.
  • But due they are identical, after charges were able to transfer freely between them, the four objects must have the same final charge, i.e. the fourth part of the total charge, as follows:

       Q_{n} = \frac{Q_{tot}}{4} = \frac{22.57C}{4} = 5.64 C  (1)

b)

  • This charge will be divided between n protons, since the charge is positive.
  • Since each proton carries a charge equal to the elementary charge e, which value is 1.6*10⁻¹⁹ C, we can find the number of protons in excess, doing the following calculation:
  • n_{p} =\frac{Q_{n}}{e} = \frac{5.64C}{1.6e-19C} = 3.5 e19 C (2)

A father racing his son has 1/3 the kinetic energy of the son, who has 1/4 the mass of the father. The father speeds up by 1.5 m
Feliz [49]

Explanation:

Let the speeds of father and son are v_f\ and\ v_s. The kinetic energies of father and son are K_f\ and\ K_s. The mass of father and son are  m_f\ and\ m_s

(a) According to given conditions, K_f=\dfrac{1}{3}K_s

And m_s=\dfrac{1}{4}m_f

Kinetic energy of father is given by :

K_f=\dfrac{1}{2}m_fv_f^2.............(1)

Kinetic energy of son is given by :

K_s=\dfrac{1}{2}m_sv_s^2...........(2)

From equation (1), (2) we get :

\dfrac{v_f^2}{v_s^2}=\dfrac{1}{12}..............(3)

If the speed of father is speed up by 1.5 m/s, so the ratio of kinetic energies is given by :

\dfrac{K_f}{K_s}=\dfrac{1/2m_f(v_f+1.5)^2}{1/2m_sv_s^2}

v_s^2=4(v_f+1.5)^2

Using equation (3) in above equation, we get :

v_f=\dfrac{1.5}{\sqrt3-1}=2.04\ m/s

(b) Put the value of v_f in equation (3) as :

v_s=7.09\ m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

The sound level at a distance of 2.30 m from a source is 115 dB. At what distance will the sound level have the following values
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

distance is 13 m for 100 dB

distance is 409 km for 10 dB

Explanation:

Given data

distance r = 2.30 m

source β = 115 dB

to find out

distance at sound level 100 dB and 10 dB

solution

first we calculate here power and intensity and with this power and intensity we will find distance

we know sound level  β  = 10 log(I/I_{0})        ......................a

put here value (I/I_{0}) = 10^−12 W/m² and  β = 115

115  = 10 log(I/10^−12)

so

I = 0.316228 W/m²

and we know power = intensity × 4π r²    ...............b

power = 0.316228 × 4π (2.30)²

power = 21.021604 W

we know at 100 dB intensity is 0.01 W/m²

so by equation b

power = intensity × 4π r²

21.021604 = 0.01 × 4π r²

so by solving r

r = 12.933855 m    = 13 m

distance is 13 m

and

at 10 dB intensity is 1 × 10^–11 W/m²

so by equation b

power = intensity × 4π r²

21.021604 = 1 × 10^–11 × 4π r²

by solving r we get

r = 409004.412465 m = 409 km
