Answer:

Energy stored in the capacitor will be $1.835\times 10^{-6}J$

Explanation:

We have given edge length of capacitor = $1.2\times 10^2cm=1.2m$

So area A = 1.2×1.2 = 1.44 $m^2$

Separation is given as d 1 mm = $10^{-3}m$

We know that capacitance is given by $C=\frac{\epsilon _0A}{d}=\frac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 1.44}{10^{-3}}=12.744\times 10^{-9}F$

Voltage is given as V = 12 volt

We know that energy stored is given by $E=\frac{1}{2}CV^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 12.744\times 10^{-9}\times 12^2=1.835\times 10^{-6}J$

Answer:

9.18 x 10^-7 J

Explanation:

length of edge, s = 1.2 x 10^2 cm = 1.2 m

Separation between the plates, d = 1 mm = 0.001 m

V = 12 V

1. Formula for the capacitance of parallel plate capacitor is

$C=\frac{\epsilon _{0}A}{d}$

Where, A be the area of plates

A = side x side = 1.2 x 1.2 = 1.44 m^2

$C=\frac{8.854\times 10^{-12}\times 1.44}{0.001}$

C = 1.275 x 10^-8 F

Energy stored in a capacitor

$U = \frac{1}{2}CV^{2}$

$U = \frac{1}{2}\times 1.275 \times 10^{-8}\times 12^{2}$

U = 9.18 x 10^-7 J

nordsb [41]

The crumple zones in the second car will improve the chance of survival of the driver because it will act as shock absorber, reducing the impact of the force on the driver.

<h3>Newton's third law of motion</h3>

According to Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite.

The car with rigid body will exert maximum force to the driver while the car with crumple zone will exert lesser force to the driver since the crumple zone will act as shock absorber, reducing the impact of the force on the driver.

Thus, the crumple zones in the second car will improve the chance of survival of the driver because it will act as shock absorber, reducing the impact of the force on the driver.

A man standing on a bus remains still when the bus is at rest. When the bus moves forward and then

Hoochie [10]

This is an example of inertia - the body keeps it's energy because there is no force applied to it. When we try to stop it's motion, it resists. A man is not rigidly attached to the bus, so he keeps moving forward, at least until he hits the front window from inside. Answer is D.

E) Thermal energy is released during

vichka [17]

Answer:

e) True, f) False

Explanation:

e) Let consider a close system, that is, a system with no mass interactions with surroundings. Then, we get the following expression by the First Law of Thermodynamics:

$Q_{net,in} - W_{net, out} = \Delta U$ (1)

Where:

$Q_{net, in}$ - Net input heat, measured in joules.

$W_{net, out}$ - Net output work, measured in joules.

$\Delta U$ - Change in thermal energy, measured in joules.

Please notice that work comprises all kind of work (i.e. mechanical, electric, magnetic), whereas heat comprises all heat interactions including chemical and radioactive phenomena.

If thermal energy is released, then $\Delta U < 0$ , which is caused by three scenarios:

(i) $Q_{net,in} < 0$ , $W_{net, out} < 0$ , $|Q_{net,in}|>|W_{net,out}|$

(ii) $Q_{net, in} > 0$ , $W_{net,out} > 0$ , $|Q_{net,in}|$

(iii) $Q_{net,in}< 0$ , $W_{net, out}>0$

In the case $Q_{net,in} > 0$ , $W_{net, out}$ , the thermal energy of the system is increased. Therefore, thermal energy is released during some energy conversions. Answer: True

f) A liquid solidifies when temperature goes below point of fusion, meaning a realease of heat with no work interactions. That is:

$Q_{net, in} = \Delta U$ , $Q_{net, in} < 0$ (2)

If $Q_{net, in} < 0$ , then $\Delta U < 0$ . Then, if a liquid absorbs heat energy, then thermal energy is increase and the liquid does not solidifies. Answer: False.
