a dielectric material is inserted to fill the gap with no loss of charge. A voltmeter then reads a difference of 3V 1. What is the dielectric constant of the material? 2.

Answer:

a) 4

b) \frac{3}{4}

c) 6 volts

Explanation:

Given:

Initial potential difference, V₁ = 12 V

Potential difference after inserting the dielectric, V₂ = 3 V

Now,

a) The charge is given as, q = CV

where, C is the capacitance

thus,

without dielectric, q = C × 12 = 12C     .........(1)

now, let the dielectric constant be 'k'

therefore,

q = kCV₂

or

12C = kC × 3          (q from 1)

or

k = 4

b) Now, the energy after inserting a dielectric with dielectric constant as k become the \frac{1}{k} times the energy without the dielectric

thus,

Final energy = \frac{1}{k} × Initial energy

or

Final energy = 0.25 × Initial energy

or

Final energy = 25% of the energy without dielectric

therefore,

hence, the energy loss fraction is (\frac{100-25}{100})=\frac{3}{4}

c) Now,

removing half way out the dielectric

thus,

k' = k/2

or

k' = 4/2 = 2

and no charge escape

thus,

12C = k'\times C\times V'

or

V' =  \frac{12}{2}

or

V' = 6 volts

therefore,

the voltmeter will read 6 volts

A Tennis ball falls from a height 40m above the ground the ball rebounds
worty [1.4K]

If the ball is dropped with no initial velocity, then its velocity <em>v</em> at time <em>t</em> before it hits the ground is

<em>v</em> = -<em>g t</em>

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of acceleration due to gravity.

Its height <em>y</em> is

<em>y</em> = 40 m - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em>²

The ball is dropped from a 40 m height, so that it takes

0 = 40 m - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em>²

==>  <em>t</em> = √(80/<em>g</em>) s ≈ 2.86 s

for it to reach the ground, after which time it attains a velocity of

<em>v</em> = -<em>g</em> (√(80/<em>g</em>) s)

==>  <em>v</em> = -√(80<em>g</em>) m/s ≈ -28.0 m/s

During the next bounce, the ball's speed is halved, so its height is given by

<em>y</em> = (14 m/s) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em>²

Solve <em>y</em> = 0 for <em>t</em> to see how long it's airborne during this bounce:

0 = (14 m/s) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em>²

0 = <em>t</em> (14 m/s - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em>)

==>  <em>t</em> = 28/<em>g</em> s ≈ 2.86 s

So the ball completes 2 bounces within approximately 5.72 s, which means that after 5 s the ball has a height of

<em>y</em> = (14 m/s) (5 s - 2.86 s) - 1/2 <em>g</em> (5 s - 2.86 s)²

==>  (i) <em>y</em> ≈ 7.5 m

(ii) The ball will technically keep bouncing forever, since the speed of the ball is only getting halved each time it bounces. But <em>y</em> will converge to 0 as <em>t</em> gets arbitrarily larger. We can't realistically answer this question without being given some threshold for deciding when the ball is perfectly still.

During the first bounce, the ball starts with velocity 14 m/s, so the second bounce begins with 7 m/s, and the third with 3.5 m/s. The ball's height during this bounce is

<em>y</em> = (3.5 m/s) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em>²

Solve <em>y</em> = 0 for <em>t</em> :

0 = (3.5 m/s) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g t</em>²

0 = <em>t</em> (3.5 m/s - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em>)

==>  (iii) <em>t</em> = 7/<em>g</em> m/s ≈ 0.714 s

As we showed earlier, the ball is in the air for 2.86 s before hitting the ground for the first time, then in the air for another 2.86 s (total 5.72 s) before bouncing a second time. At the point, the ball starts with an initial velocity of 7 m/s, so its velocity at time <em>t</em> after 5.72 s (but before reaching the ground again) would be

<em>v</em> = 7 m/s - <em>g t</em>

At 6 s, the ball has velocity

(iv) <em>v</em> = 7 m/s - <em>g</em> (6 s - 5.72 s) ≈ 4.26 m/s

You are directed to set up an experiment in which you drop, from shoulder height, objects with similar surface areas but differe
tangare [24]

Answer: c. they will hit the ground at the same time

Explanation:

The volume of both objects is almost the same, so the force of friction will be the same in each one, so we can discard it.

Now, when yo drop an object, the acceleration of the object is always g = 9.8m/s^2 downwards, independent of the mass of the object.

So if you drop two objects with the same volume but different mass, because the acceleration is the same for both of them, they will hit the ground at the same time, this means that the density of the object has no impact in how much time the object needs to reach the floor.

So the correct option is c

Which describes the average velocity of an ant traveling at a constant speed
yanalaym [24]

Answer: A. The total displacement divided by the time and  C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

Explanation:

Hi! The question seems incomplete, but I found the options on the internt:

A. The total displacement divided by the time.

B. The slope of the ant's acceleration vs. time graph.

C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

D. The average acceleration divided by the time.

Now, since we know the ant is travelling at a constant speed, its average velocity V will be expressed by the following equation:

V=\frac{d}{t}

Where:

d is the ant's total displacement

t is the time it took to the ant to travel to the kitchen

Hence one of the correct options is: A. The total displacement divided by the time

On the other hand, this can be expressed by a displacement vs. time graph graph, where the slope of that line leads to the equation written above. So, the other correct option is: C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

What is buoyant force?
Nostrana [21]

This is the upthrust on an object which is placed inside a fluid

This force act upwards and always push upwards

so the correct answer is given as

D. A force within a fluid that pushes upward

this force is always due to pressure difference at two levels of

at lower level since pressure is more that is why the force is upwards and this upthrust is known as Buoyancy
