Oscilloscopes have parallel metal plates inside them to deflect the electron beam. These plates are called the deflecting plates

. Typically, they are squares 3.00cm on a side and separated by 5.00mm , with very thin air in between.What is the capacitance of these deflecting plates and hence of the oscilloscope. (This capacitance can sometimes have an effect on the circuit you are trying to study and must be taken into consideration in your calculations.)

Answer:

1.6 pF

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor in air is given by:

C=\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}

where

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of each plate

d is the separation between the plates

In this problem we have:

- Separation between the plates: d = 5.00 mm = 0.005 m

- Area of the plates: A = 3.00 cm \cdot 3.00 cm = 9.00 cm^2 = 9\cdot 10^{-4}m^2

Therefore, the capacitance is

C=\frac{(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m)(9\cdot 10^{-4} m^2)}{0.005 m}=1.6\cdot 10^{-12} F=1.6 pF

A ball thrown horizontally at vi = 30.0 m/s travels a horizontal distance of d = 55.0 m before hitting the ground. from what hei

Assume no air resistance, and g = 9.8 m/s².

Let
x =  angle that the initial velocity makes with the horizontal.
u = 30 cos(x), horizontal velocity
v = 30 sin(x), vertical launch velocity

The horizontal distance traveled is 55 m, therefore the time of flight is
t = 55/[30 cos(x)] = 1.8333 sec(x)  s

With regard to the vertical velocity, and the time of flight,obtain
[30 sin(x)]*(1.8333 sec(x)) + (1/2)*(-9.8)*(1.8333 sec(x))² = 0
 55 tan(x) - 16.469 sec²x = 0
55 tan(x) - 16.469[1 + tan²x] = 0
16.469 tan²x - 55 tan(x) + 16.469 = 0
tan²x - 3.3396 tan(x) + 1 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula.
tan(x) = 0.5[3.3396 +/- √(7.153)] = 3.007 or 0.3326
Therefore
x = 71.6° or x = 18.4°

The time of flight is
t = 1.8333 sec(x) = 5.8096 s or 1.932 s
The initial vertical velocity is
v = 30 sin(x) = 28.467 m/s or 9.468 m/s
The horizontal velocity is
u = 30 cos(x) = 9.467 m/s or 28.469 m/s

If t = 5.8096 s,
  u*t = 9.467*5.8096 = 55 m (Correct)
or
 u*t = 28.469*15.8096 = 165.4 m (Incorrect)

Therefore, reject x = 18.4°. The correct solution is
t = 5.8096 s
x = 71.6°
u = 9.467 m/s
v = 28.467 m/s

The height from which the ball was thrown is
h = 28.467*5.8096 - 0.5*9.8*5.8096² = -110.4 m
The ball was thrown from a height of 110.4 m

Answer: h = 110.4 m

An ideal transformer has 60 turns in its primary coil and 360 turns in its secondary coil. If the input rms voltage for the 60-t
notka56 [123]

Answer:

720 V

Explanation:

Given that,

The number of turns in primary coil, N₁ = 60

The number of turns in secondary coil, N₂ = 360

The input rms voltage, V₁ = 120 V

We need to find the output rms voltage of the secondary coil . The relation between number of turns in primary coil - secondary coil to the input rms voltage to the output rms voltage is given by :

\dfrac{N_1}{N_2}=\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{N_2V_1}{N_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{360\times 120}{60}\\\\V_2=720\ V

<h3>So, the output rms voltage of the secondary coil is 720 V. Hence, the correct option is (b).</h3>
