Answer:

(a) Capacitance is $1\mu C$

(b) Potential difference is 256 V

Solution:

As per the question:

Charges on the two conductors, q is $+ 16\muC$ and $- 16\muC$

The potential difference between the charges, V = 16.0 V

Now,

(a) The capacitance of the system is given by:

q = CV

$C = \frac{q}{V} = \frac{16\times 10^{- 6}}{16} = 1\mu F$

(Since, $1\mu C = 10^{- 6} C$ )

Now,

(b) When the charge, 'q' is increased to $+ 256\mu C$ and $- 256\mu C$

q = CV

$V = \frac{q}{C} = \frac{256\times 10^{- 6}}{1\times 10^{- 6}} = 256\ V$

what was the initial temperature is 250 calories reply .1 kg of gold the final temperature of the gold was 175°c ? the specific

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

$115.2^{\circ}C$

Explanation:

When an amount of energy Q is supplied to a substance of mass m, the temperature of the substance increases by $\Delta T$ , according to the equation

$Q=mC_s \Delta T$

where $C_s$ is the specific heat capacity of the substance.

In this problem, we have:

$Q=250 \cdot 4.184 =1046 J$ is the amount of heat supplied to the sample of gold

m = 0.1 kg = 100 g is the mass of the sample

$C_s = 0.175 J/gC$ is the specific heat capacity of gold

Solving for $\Delta T$ , we find the change in temperature

$\Delta T = \frac{Q}{m C_s}=\frac{1046}{(100)(0.175)}=59.8^{\circ}$

And since the final temperature was

$T_f = 175^{\circ}$

The initial temperature was

$T_i = T_f - \Delta T= 175 -59.8=115.2^{\circ}C$

An electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) can produce a shock of up to 600 V and a current of 1 A for a duration of 2 ms, which

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

$2\times 10^{-3}\ C$

6000

1.2 J

$3.33\times 10^{-6}\ F$

Explanation:

I = Current = 1 A

t = Time = 2 ms

n = Number of electrocyte

V = Voltage = 100 mV

Charge is given by

$Q=It\\\Rightarrow Q=1\times 2\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow Q=2\times 10^{-3}\ C$

The charge flowing through the electrocytes in that amount of time is $2\times 10^{-3}\ C$

The maximum potential is given by

$V_m=nV\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{V_m}{V}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{600}{100\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow n=6000$

The number of electrolytes is 6000

Energy is given by

$E=Pt\\\Rightarrow E=V_mIt\\\Rightarrow E=600\times 1\times 2\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow E=1.2\ J$

The energy released when the electric eel delivers a shock is 1.2 J

Equivalent capacitance is given by

$C_e=\dfrac{Q}{V_m}\\\Rightarrow C_e=\dfrac{2\times 10^{-3}}{600}\\\Rightarrow C_e=3.33\times 10^{-6}\ F$

The equivalent capacitance of all the electrocyte cells in the electric eel is $3.33\times 10^{-6}\ F$

An ideal gas initially at 275 k undergoes an isobaric expansion at 2.50 kpa. the volume increases from 1.00 m3 to 3.00 m3 and 11

tekilochka [14]

The transformation is isobaric (constant pressure), so the work done by the gas is the product between its pressure and the variation of volume:
$W=p \Delta V=(2500 Pa)(3.0 m^3-1.0 m^2 ) = +5000 J =+5.0 kJ$

The heat transferred to the gas is
$Q=+11.2 kJ$

So we can use the first law of thermodynamics to compute the variation of internal energy of the gas:
$\Delta U = Q-W=11.2 kJ-5.0 kJ=+6.2 kJ = +6200 J$
where the positive sign means the internal energy of the gas has increased.

A student fires a cannonball diagonally with an initial speed of 31m/s. Neglect drag and the initial height of the cannonball. W

horsena [70]

Answer:

The cannons total flight time is 2.23seconds

Explanation:

A ball fired diagonally is fired at an angle of 45° to the horizontal. The motion of the fired ball is a projectile motion. A projectile is a motion in which an object fired into space with an initial velocity U is allowed to fall freely under the influence of gravitational force.

To total time of flight T of the cannon ball can be expressed as;

T = 2Usin(theta)/g where;

U is the initial velocity or speed of the ball = 31m/s

theta is the angle that the ball make with the horizontal = 45°

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

Substituting the given datas into the formula we have;

T = 31sin45°/9.81

T = 31×0.7071/9.81

T = 21.92/9.81

T = 2.23seconds
