You can use mostly anything as long as it is circular. Depending on how big it is, you could use sturdy paper plates and use a stick/rod and tape to hold it together, or you could use bottle caps if the car you are trying to make is really small.

CD disks can be used too.

a person pushing a stroller starts from rest, uniformly accelerating at a rate of 0.500m/s^2. what is the velocity of the stroll

grandymaker [24]

You're going to use the constant acceleration motion equation for velocity and displacement:
(V)final²=(V)initial²+2a(Δx)

Given:
a=0.500m/s²
Δx=4.75m
(V)intial=0m
(V)final= UNKNOWN

(V)final= 2.179m/s

parallel-plate capacitor is made of two square plates 25 cm on a side and 1.0 mmapart. The capacitor is connected to a 50.0-V ba

noname [10]

Answer:

6.9 x 10^-7 J

3.5 x 10^-7 J

Explanation:

Identify the unknown:

The energies stored in the capacitor before and after the plates are pulled farther apart

List the Knowns:

Voltage of the battery: V = 50 V

Area of the plates: A = 0.25 x 0.25 = 0.0625 m^2

Original distance between the plates: d = 1 mm = 10^-3 m

New distance between the plates: d = 2 mm = 2 x 10^-3 m

Permittivity of free space: ∈o = 8.85 x 10^-12 C^2/Nm^2-

Set Up the Problem:

Capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor:

C=∈o*A/d

Energy stored in a capacitor:

U_c=(1/2)*V^2*C

Solve the Problem:

Before the plates are pulled farther apart:

C = 8.85 x 10^-12 x 0.0625/10^-3 = 5•53 x 10^-10 F

U_c = (1/2) x (50)^2 x 5.53 x 10^-10= 6.9 x 10^-7 J

After the plates are pulled farther apart:

C = 8.85 x 10^-12 x 0.0625/2*10^-3 = 2•77 x 10^-10 F

U_c = (1/2) x (50)^2 x 2•77 x 10^-10 = 3.5 x 10^-7 J

The energy decrease because the capacitance decrease, so the stored charge decrease and transferred to the battery

Cart A of inertia m has attached to its front end a device that explodes when it hits anything, releasing a quantity of energy E

Leviafan [203]

We need to write down momentum and energy conservation laws, this will give us a system of equation that we can solve to get our final answer. On the right-hand side, I will write term after the collision and on the left-hand side, I will write terms before the collision.
Let's start with energy conservation law:
$\frac{mv^2}{2}+\frac{2mv^2}{2}+0.75E=\frac{mv_{A}^2}{2}+\frac{2mv_{B}^2}{2}$
$\frac{3mv^2}{2}+0.75E=\frac{mv_{A}^2}{2}+mv_{B}^2$
This equation tells us that kinetic energy of two carts before the collision and 3 quarters of explosion energy is beign transfered to kinetic energy of the cart after the collision.
Let's write down momentum conservation law:
$mv+2mv=mv_A+2mv_B\\ 3mv=mv_A+2mv_B\\$
Because both carts have the same mass we can cancel those out:
$3v=v_A+2v_B$
Now we have our system of equation that we have to solve:
$\frac{3mv^2}{2}+0.75E=\frac{mv_{A}^2}{2}+mv_{B}^2\\ 3v=v_A+2v_B$
Part A
We need to solve our system for $v_a$ . We will solve second equation for $v_b$ and then plug that in the first equation.
$3v=v_A+2v_B\\ 3v-v_A=2v_B\\ v_B=\frac{3v-v_A}{2}$
Now we have to plug this in the first equation:
$\frac{3mv^2}{2}+0.75E=\frac{mv_{A}^2}{2}+mv_{B}^2\\v_B=\frac{3v-v_A}{2}\\$
We will multiply the first equation with 2 and divide by m:
$3v^2+\frac{3E}{2m}=v_{A}^2}+2v_{B}^2\\v_B=\frac{3v-v_A}{2}\\$
Now we plug in the second equation into first one:
$3v^2+\frac{3E}{2m}=v_{A}^2}+2v_{B}^2\\ 3v^2+\frac{3E}{2m}=v_{A}^2}+2\frac{(3v-v_A)^2}{4}\\ 3v^2+\frac{3E}{2m}=v_{A}^2}+\frac{9v^2-6v\cdot v_A+v_{A}^2}{2} /\cdot 2\\ 6v^2+\frac{3E}{m}=2v_{A}^2+9v^2-6v\cdot v_A+v_{A}^2}\\ 3v_A^2-6v\cdot v_a+3(v^2-\frac{E}{m})=0/\cdot\frac{1}{3}\\ v_A^2-3v\cdot v_A+ (v^2-\frac{E}{m})=0$
We end up with quadratic equation that we have to solve, I won't solve it by hand.
Coefficients are:
$a=1\\
b=-6v\\
c=v^2-\frac{E}{m}$
Solutions are:
$v_A=\frac{3v+\sqrt{5v^2+\frac{4E}{m}}}{2},\:v_A=\frac{3v-\sqrt{5v^2+\frac{4E}{m}}}{2}$
Part B
We do the same thing here, but we must express $v_a$ from momentum equation:
$3v=v_A+2v_B\\
v_A=3v-2v_B$
Now we plug this into our energy conservation equation:
$3v^2+\frac{3E}{2m}=v_{A}^2}+2v_{B}^2\\v_A={3v-v_B}\\
3v^2+\frac{3E}{2m}=(3v-v_B)^2+2v_B^2\\
3v^2+\frac{3E}{2m}=9v^2-6v\cdot v_B+v_B^2+2v_B^2\\
3v^2+\frac{3E}{2m}=3v_B^2-6v\cdot v_B+9v^2\\
3v_B^2-6v\cdot v_B+9v^2-3v^2-\frac{3E}{2m}=0\\
3v_B^2-6v\cdot v_B+(6v^2-\frac{3E}{2m})=0
$
Again we end up with quadratic equation. Coefficients are:
$a=3\\
b=-6v\\
c=6v^2-\frac{3E}{2m}$
Solutions are:
$v_B=\frac{6v+\sqrt{-36v^2+\frac{18E}{m}}}{6},\:v_B=\frac{6v-\sqrt{-36v^2+\frac{18E}{m}}}{6}$
