a) 3.27\cdot 10^{-3} J

b) 11.60\cdot 10^{-3} J

c) 8.33\cdot 10^{-3} J

Explanation:

a)

The energy stored in a capacitor is given by

U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2

where

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

V is the potential difference across the plates of the capacitor

For the capacitor in this problem, before insering the dielectric, we have:

C=13.5 \mu F = 13.5\cdot 10^{-6}F is its capacitance

V = 22.0 V is the potential difference across it

Therefore, the initial energy stored in the capacitor is:

U=\frac{1}{2}(13.5\cdot 10^{-6})(22.0)^2=3.27\cdot 10^{-3} J

b)

After the dielectric is inserted into the plates, the capacitance of the capacitor changes according to:

C'=kC

where

k = 3.55 is the dielectric constant of the material

C is the initial capacitance of the capacitor

Therefore, the energy stored now in the capacitor is:

U'=\frac{1}{2}C'V^2=\frac{1}{2}kCV^2

where:

C=13.5\cdot 10^{-6}F is the initial capacitance

V = 22.0 V is the potential difference across the plate

Substituting, we find:

U'=\frac{1}{2}(3.55)(13.5\cdot 10^{-6})(22.0)^2=11.60\cdot 10^{-3} J

C)

The initial energy stored in the capacitor, before the dielectric is inserted, is

U=3.27\cdot 10^{-3} J

The final energy stored in the capacitor, after the dielectric is inserted, is

U'=11.60\cdot 10^{-3} J

Therefore, the change in energy of the capacitor during the insertion is:

\Delta U=11.60\cdot 10^{-3}-3.27\cdot 10^{-3}=8.33\cdot 10^{-3} J

So, the energy of the capacitor has increased by 8.33\cdot 10^{-3} J

mechanical equivalent of heat Do the data for the second part of the experiment support or refute the second hypothesis
Ksivusya [100]
  • The data for the first part of the experiment support the first hypothesis.
  • As the force applied to the cart increased, the acceleration of the cart increased.
  • Since the increase in the applied force caused the increase in the cart's acceleration, force and acceleration are directly proportional to each other, which is in accordance with Newton's second law.

When we state something about the results on the basis whether the observed data supports the original hypothesis, we say that we are concluding the results.

What is the relationship between force and acceleration based on Newton's 2nd law?

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Newton’s third law in football?
trapecia [35]
Newtons third law of motion applies to football as when the ball is thrown, force is applied to the football thrown forward and also force back to the player. Therefore it states that every action has a reaction. The player does not get a huge force back from throwing the football due to the player having a bigger mass than the football being thrown.

In short, when the football is throw, there is a reaction with the ball and the player accordingly with the force put into the ball.

If energy is going into a system, but not being converted into kinetic energy, it will be converted into potential energy. This
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

1. Plateau where the temperature stays constant

2. Melting

3. Boiling points of the substance

Explanation:

The relationship between kinetic energy and temperature is given as follows;

\overline E = \dfrac{3}{2} \times \dfrac{R}{N_A} \times T

Where;

\overline E = The average kinetic energy of the atom

R = The universal gas constant

N_A = Avogadro's number

T = The temperature in Kelvin

Therefore, the kinetic energy increases as the temperature increases, however when the energy is not being converted into kinetic energy, the energy is stored as internal potential energy in the melted or evaporated state of the substance

Therefore, we have;

If energy is going into a system, but not being converted into kinetic energy, it will be converted into potential energy. This will be represented by a 1. <u>plateau where the temperature stays constant</u> on a heating curve, which occur at the 2. <u>melting</u> and 3. <u>boiling points of the substance.</u>

Find the unbalanced force required to accelerate a 6kg mass at 3ms
Mila [183]

Force (F)=Mass (m)×Acceleration (a).

∴F=ma.

∴F=(2kg)×(3ms2).

∴F=6kgms2=6 Newton. =6N.
