Answer:

The charges on the plates,

Explanation:

A capacitor is an electronic device that can be used for storing of charges. A parallel plate capacitor consists of two plates of equal area separated by a dielectric constant. The energy stored in the capacitor is in the form of potential energy which comes into play during the discharging process of the capacitor.

The energy stored depends majorly on the voltage, area of the plates, distance between the plates and the nature of the dielectric constant of the material between the plates. But it does not depend on the charges on the plates.

A double slit that is illuminated with coherent light of wavelength 644 nm produces a pattern of bright and dark fringes on a sc
shutvik [7]

Answer:

2.77 cm

Explanation:

d = separation between the slits = 2783 x 10⁻⁹ m

\lambda = wavelength of coherent light = 644 nm = 644 x 10⁻⁹ m

D = Distance of the screen = 6 cm = 0.06 m

y_{n} = Position of nth bright fringe

Position of nth bright fringe is given as

y_{n} = \frac{nD\lambda }{d}  

for n = 2

y_{2} = \frac{nD\lambda }{d}  

y_{2} = \frac{(2)(0.06)(644\times10^{-9}))}{2783\times10^{-9}}

y_{2} = 0.0278 m

for n = 4

y_{4} = \frac{nD\lambda }{d}  

y_{4} = \frac{(4)(0.06)(644\times10^{-9}))}{2783\times10^{-9}}

y_{4} = 0.0555 m

Distance between 4th and 2nd bright fringes is given as

w = y_{4} - y_{2} = 0.0555 - 0.0278 = 0.0277 m

w = 2.77 cm

CONFUSED!!!
otez555 [7]

A. Impulse is simply the product of Force and time. Therefore,

I = F * t                                 ---> 1

where I is impulse, F is force, t is time

 

However another formula for solving impulse is:

I = m vf – m vi                    ---> 2

where m is mass, vf is final velocity and vi is initial velocity

 

Therefore using equation 2 to solve for impulse I:

I = 2000kg (0) – 2000kg (77 m/s)
I = -154,000 kg m/s

 

B. By conservation of momentum, we also know that Impulse is conserved. That means that increasing the time by a factor of 3 would still result in an impuse of -154,000 kg m/s. So,

I = F’ * (3 t) = -154,000 kg m/s

Since t is multiplied by 3, therefore this only means that Force is decreased by a factor of 3 to keep the impulse constant, therefore:

(F/3) (3t) = -154,000 kg m/s

 

 

Summary of Answers:

A. I = -154,000 kg m/s

B. Force is decreased by factor of 3

A long, straight, horizontal wire carries current toward the east. A proton moves toward the east alongside and just south of th
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

north direction.

Explanation:

The wire carries a current towards the east . The magnetic field will make circular path around the wire in clockwise direction  so at a point just south of wire , magnetic field will be into the plane of paper containing wire. If we take east as x -axes , north as y axes then out of plane will form z axes. Hence direction of magnetic field will be -  z direction .

Magnetic field can be represented as - B k

Proton is moving towards east ie in + x direction so it can be represented as follows

velocity = V i

Force F = q( V i x -B k)

= ( BqV) j or + ve j direction or along north direction

So direction of force will be along north direction.
