A parallel plate air capacitor has a capacitance of 10 to the power -9. What potential difference is required for a charge of 5×

Maurinko [17]

The potential difference across the capacitor is 5 × 10∧4 volts and the energy stored in it is 1. 25 Joules

<h3>What is the energy in a capacitor?</h3>

The energy stored in a capacitor is an electrostatic potential energy.

It is related to the charge(Q) and voltage (V) between the capacitor plates.

It is represented as 'U'.

<h3>How to determine the potential difference</h3>

Formula:

Potential difference, V is the ratio of the charge to the capacitance of a capacitor.

It is calculated using:

V = Q ÷ C

Where Q = charge 5 × 10∧-5C and C = capacitance 10∧-9

Substitute the values into the equation

Potential difference, V = 5 × 10∧-5 ÷ 10∧-9 = 5 × 10∧4 volts

<h3>How to determine the energy stored</h3>

Formula:

Energy, U = 1 ÷ 2 (QV)

Where Q= charge and V = potential difference across the capacitor

Energy, U = 1 ÷ 2 ( 5 × 10∧-5 × 5 × 10∧4)

= 0.5 × 25 × 10∧-1

= 0.5 × 2.5

= 1. 25 Joules

Therefore, the potential difference across the capacitor is 5 × 10∧4 volts and the energy stored in it is 1. 25 Joules

Two students are on a balcony 19.1 m above the street. One student throws a ball, b1, vertically downward at 13.9 m/s. At the sa

tester [92]

Answer:

Part a)

$t = 2.83 s$

Part b)

Ball thrown downwards = $v_f = 23.8 m/s$

Ball thrown upwards = $v_f = 23.8 m/s$

Part c)

$d = 22.24 m$

Explanation:

Part a)

Since both the balls are projected with same speed in opposite directions

So here the time difference is the time for which the ball projected upward will move up and come back at the same point of projection

Afterwards the motion will be same as the first ball which is projected downwards

so here the time difference is given as

$\Delta y = 0 = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$0 = 13.9 t - \frac{1}{2}(9.81) t^2$

$t = 2.83 s$

Part b)

Since the displacement in y direction for two balls is same as well as the the initial speed is also same so final speed is also same for both the balls

so it is given as

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a \Delta y$

$v_f^2 - (13.9)^2 = (2)(-9.81)(-19.1)$

$v_f^2 = 567.9$

$v_f = 23.8 m/s$

Part c)

Relative speed of two balls is given as

$v_{12} = v_1 - v_2$

$v_{12} = (13.9) - (-13.9) = 27.8 m/s$

now the distance between two balls in 0.8 s is given as

$d = v_{12} t$

$d = 27.8 \times 0.8$

$d = 22.24 m$

A train moving at a constant speed on a surface inclined upward at 10.0° with the horizontal travels a distance of 400 meters in

Amiraneli [1.4K]

If the velocity of the train is v=s/t, where s is the distance and t is time, then v=400/5=80m/s. To get the vertical component of the velocity we need to multiply the velocity v with a sin(α): Vv=v*sin(α), where Vv is the vertical component of the velocity and α is the angle with the horizontal. So:

Vv=80*sin(10)=80*0.1736=13.888 m/s.

So the vertical component of the velocity of the train is Vv=13.888 m/s.
