A student in Denver (altitude = 1 mile = 1609 m above sea level) brings a physics book of mass 1.3 kg to the top of a ten story

building of height 26 m and holds the book over her head 151 cm above the roof. What is the gravitational potential energy Ug of the book?

Answer:

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy of a body due to is virtue of rest.

Potential energy is given as mgh

g is a constant and it is 9.81m/s²

And also the mass of the body is given as 1.3kg

Now the height of the body is

He took a book to a storey building of height 26m

He still holds the book 151 cm (1.51m) above the house.

The house is on an altitude of 1609m from the sea level.

Total Ug with out the sea level is

Ug=mgh

Ug=1.3 × 9.81 ×(26+1.51)

Ug=350.84J

Then, the potential energy due to the sea level is given as

Ug=mgh

Where g = 1/6371 m/s²

Therefore

Ug=mgh

Ug=1.3 × 1/6371 ×1609

Ug=0.328J

Total energy = 0.328+350.84

Ug=351.17J

A spherical conductor is inside a uniform electric field with a magnitude of 1000 N/C to the right. What is the magnitude and di
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

1.-E=1000N/C to the LEFT

2.-The electric field inside a conductor in electrostatic state is always zero (conductor proprieties).

3.-The voltmeter read 0V as differential voltage between two points from the conductor

Explanation:

1.The electric field inside the conductor must be zero (conductor proprieties). Then the charges create a electric field equal an opposite to the external electric field. In other words E=1000N/C to the LEFT

2. The electric field inside a conductor in electrostatic state is always zero. As shown in the figure the electric field induced by the charges in the sphere surface cancelled the EXTERN electric field.

3.If the Electric field inside the conductor is zero, that means that the Voltage in the hole conductor is constant (conductor proprieties). In other words the the voltmeter read 0v as differential voltage between two points from the conductor.

A circular parallel plate capacitor is constructed with a radius of 0.52 mm, a plate separation of 0.013 mm, and filled with an
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

289282

Explanation:

r = Radius of plate = 0.52 mm

d = Plate separation = 0.013 mm

A = Area = \pi r^2

V = Potential applied = 2 mV

k = Dielectric constant = 40

\epsilon_0 = Electric constant = 8.854\times 10^{-12}\ \text{F/m}

Capacitance is given by

C=\dfrac{k\epsilon_0A}{d}

Charge is given by

Q=CV\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{k\epsilon_0AV}{d}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{40\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}\times\pi \times (0.52\times 10^{-3})^2\times 2\times 10^{-3}}{0.013\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow Q=4.6285\times 10^{-14}\ \text{C}

Number of electron is given by

n=\dfrac{Q}{e}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{4.6285\times 10^{-14}}{1.6\times10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow n=289281.25\ \text{electrons}

The number of charge carriers that will accumulate on this capacitor is approximately 289282.
