The vertical deflecting plates of a typical classroom oscilloscope are a pair of parallel square metal plates carrying equal but

opposite charges. The potential difference between the plates is 25.0 V. Typical dimensions are about 3.0 cmcm on a side, with a separation of about 4.6 m. Under these conditions, how much charge is on each plate? How stron is the electric field between the plates?

Answer:

a) 4.33 pC  b) 5.44*10² N/C

Explanation:

a) The vertical deflecting plates of an oscilloscope form a parallel-plate capacitor.

The value of the capacitance, for a parallel-plate capacitor with air dielectric, can be found to be as follows, applying Gauss' law to the surface of one of the plates, and assuming a uniform surface charge density:

C = ε₀*A / d

where ε₀ = 8.85*10⁻¹² F/m, A = (0.03m)², and d = 0.046 m (we assume that the informed value of 4.6 m is a typo, as no oscilloscope exists with this separation between plates).

Replacing by these values, we find the equivalent capacitance of the plates, as follows:

C = \frac{8.85e-12F/m*(0.03m)^{2} }{0.046m} =1.73e-13 F = 0.173 pF

By definition, the capacitance of any capacitor can be expressed as follows:

C =\frac{Q}{V}

where Q= charge on any of the plates, and V= potential difference between them.

As we know C and V, we can find Q as follows:

Q = C*V = 0.173*10⁻¹² F * 25.0 V = 4.33*10⁻¹² C = 4.33 pC

b) We can find the electric field in several ways, but one very easy is applying Gauss' Law to a pillbox with a face outside one of the plates (paralllel to it) and the other inside the surface.

The total electric flux through the surface must be equal to the enclosed charge, divided by ε₀.

If we look to the flux crossin any face, we find that the only one that has a non-zero flux, is the one outside the surface.

As the electric crossing the boundary must be normal to the surface (in electrostatic conditions,  no tangential field can exist on the surface) , and we assume that the surface charge density that creates it is constant across the surface, we can write the Gauss ' Law as follows:

E*A = Q / ε₀

where A = area of the plate = (.03m)² = 9*10⁻⁴ m², Q= charge on one of the plates = 4.33*10⁻¹² C (as we found in a)) and ε₀ = 8.85*10⁻¹² N/C.

Replacing by these values, and solving for E, we have:

E = \frac{4.33e-12C}{(0.03m)^{2} 8.85e-12F/m} =5.44e2 N/C

⇒ E = 5.44*10² N/C

Scientists are making plans to put a probe in orbit around Earth. They want the probe to enter the orbit shown below.
iris [78.8K]

An arrow which shows the direction that the probe should be moving in order for it to enter the orbit is X.

<h3>What is an orbit?</h3>

An orbit can be defined as the curved path through which a astronomical (celestial) object such as planet Earth, in space move around a Moon, Sun, planet or star.

In this scenario, if the scientists want the probe to enter the orbit they should ensure that probe moves in direction X. This ultimately implies that, the probe must move in the same direction as the orbit, in order to enter it.

Which will have a larger momentum when moving at the same speed: a 2,000-kg truck or a 1,000-kg sedan
Alina [70]

Answer:

2000 kg

Explanation:

Given that Which will have a larger momentum when moving at the same speed: a 2,000-kg truck or a 1,000-kg sedan

According to the definition of momentum, momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

That is,

Momentum = mass × velocity

Since velocity or speed is the same, then, the one of higher mass will have a greater momentum.

Therefore, the 2000 kg truck will have the greater momentum.

A uniform cylindrical grindstone has a mass of 10 kg and a radius of 12 cm. (a) What is the rotational kinetic energy of the gri
Drupady [299]

Answer:

a) KE = 888.26J

b) N = 294.5 turns

Explanation:

For the kinetic energy:

KE = I/2*\omega_o^2

The inertia is:

I=m/2*R^2=0.072kg.m^2

So, the kinetic energy will be:

KE = 888.26J

Now, friction force is:

Ff = μ*N = 0.80*5N = 4N

The energy balance would be:

Kf - Ko = Wf    where Kf=0;   Ko = 888.26J;  and Wf is the work done by friction force.

Wf = -Ff*d = -Ff*N*2*π*R   where N is the amount of turns it gives.

Replacing these values into the energy balance:

0-888.26=-4*N*2*π*0.12

-888.26=-0.96*π*N

N=294.5 turns

The speed of a car is decreased uniformly from 30. meters per second to 10. meters per second in 4.0 seconds. What was the car's
masha68 [24]
Acceleration (magnitude anyway) = (change in speed) / (time for the change) .

Change in speed = (10 - 30) = -20 m/s

Time for the change = 4.0sec

Magnitude of acceleration = -20/4  =  <em>-5 m/s² </em>
