A parallel plate capacitor is attached to a battery to create a potential difference of 12V The battery is then disconnected and

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. What fraction of energy was lost when the dielectric was inserted 3. If we pull the dielectric half way out with no read across the capacitor? charge escaping what woulda volt meter

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

Calculate the change in entropy as 0.3071 kg of ice at 273.15 K melts. (The latent heat of fusion of water is 333000 J / kg)
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

374.39 J/K

Explanation:

Entropy: This can be defined as the degree of disorder or randomness of a substance.

The S.I unit of entropy is J/K

ΔS = ΔH/T ..................................... Equation 1

Where ΔS = entropy change, ΔH = Heat change, T = temperature.

ΔH = cm................................... Equation 2

Where,

c = specific latent heat of fusion of water = 333000 J/kg, m = mass of ice = 0.3071 kg.

Substitute into equation 2

ΔH = 333000×0.3071

ΔH = 102264.3 J.

Also, T = 273.15 K

Substitute into equation 1

ΔS = 102264.3/273.15

ΔS = 374.39 J/K

Thus, The change in entropy = 374.39 J/K

Kids are pelting a window with snowballs. On average, two snowballs of roughly 300-g mass hit the window each second, moving hor
hram777 [196]

Answer:

The average force exerted on the window due to two snowballs is 6 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of snowballs m = 300 \times 10^{-3} Kg

Velocity of snowball v = 10 \frac{m}{s}

For finding the average force,

Force is equal to the change in momentum,

   F = \frac{dP}{dt}

Here, final velocity is zero so we write,

 F = \frac{mv}{1}

Where dt = 1 sec

 F = 300 \times 10^{-30} \times 10

F = 3 N

Above value of force is due to one ball, but here given in question there are two ball,

F = 3 \times 2

F = 6 N

Therefore, the average force exerted on the window due to two snowballs is 6 N

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST. Which gas became part of Earth's atmosphere as a result of the evolution of life-forms?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Earth's atmosphere was largely made up of nitrogen and carbon dioxide gases. After photosynthesizing organisms multiplied on Earth's surface and in the oceans, much of the carbon dioxide was replaced with oxygen.

Idk if this helps but plz mark brainliest if it does

You push a 1.30 kg physics book 2.80 m along a horizontal tabletop with a horizontal push of 1.55 N while the opposing force of
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

<h2>3.36J</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass m= 1.3kg

distance moved s= 2.8m

opposing frictional force= 0.34N

assume g= 9.81m/s^2

we know that work done= force *distance moved

1. work done to push the book= 1.55*2.8=4.34J

2. Work against friction = force of friction x distance

                                       = 0.34*2.8=0.952J

Step two:

the work done on the book is the net work, which is

Network done= work done to push the book- Work against friction

Network done= 4.32-0.952=3.36J

<u>Therefore the work of the 1.55N 3.36J</u>
