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

A spring stretches 3.5 cm when a 9 g object is hung from it. The object is replaced with a block of mass 26 g which oscillates i
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The period of motion  of new mass T = 0.637 sec

Explanation:

Given data

Mass of object (m) = 9 gm = 0.009 kg

Δx = 3.5 cm = 0.035 m

We know that spring force is given by

F = m g

F = 0.009 × 9.81 = 0.08829 N

Spring constant

k = \frac{F}{x}

k = \frac{0.08829}{0.035}

k = 2.522 \frac{N}{m}

New mass(m_1) = 26 gm = 0.026 kg

Now the period of motion is given by

T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.026}{2.522} }

T = 0.637 sec

This is the period of motion  of new mass.

X-rays with an energy of 300 keV undergo Compton scattering from a target. If the scattered rays are detected at 30 relative to
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

a) \Delta \lambda = \lambda' -\lambda_o = \frac{h}{m_e c} (1-cos \theta)

For this case we know the following values:

h = 6.63 x10^{-34} Js

m_e = 9.109 x10^{-31} kg

c = 3x10^8 m/s

\theta = 37

So then if we replace we got:

\Delta \lambda = \frac{6.63x10^{-34} Js}{9.109 x10^{-31} kg *3x10^8 m/s} (1-cos 37) = 4.885x10^{-13} m * \frac{1m}{1x10^{-15} m}= 488.54 fm

b) \lambda_0 = \frac{hc}{E_0}

With E_0 = 300 k eV= 300000 eV

And replacing we have:

\lambda_0 = \frac{1240 x10^{-9} eV m}{300000eV}=4.13 x10^{-12}m = 4.12 pm

And then the scattered wavelength is given by:

\lambda ' = \lambda_0 + \Delta \lambda = 4.13 + 0.489 pm = 4.619 pm

And the energy of the scattered photon is given by:

E' = \frac{hc}{\lambda'}= \frac{1240x10^{-9} eVm}{4.619x10^{-12} m}=268456.37 eV - 268.46 keV

c) E_f = E_0 -E' = 300 -268.456 kev = 31.544 keV

Explanation

Part a

For this case we can use the Compton shift equation given by:

\Delta \lambda = \lambda' -\lambda_0 = \frac{h}{m_e c} (1-cos \theta)

For this case we know the following values:

h = 6.63 x10^{-34} Js

m_e = 9.109 x10^{-31} kg

c = 3x10^8 m/s

\theta = 37

So then if we replace we got:

\Delta \lambda = \frac{6.63x10^{-34} Js}{9.109 x10^{-31} kg *3x10^8 m/s} (1-cos 37) = 4.885x10^{-13} m * \frac{1m}{1x10^{-15} m}= 488.54 fm

Part b

For this cas we can calculate the wavelength of the phton with this formula:

\lambda_0 = \frac{hc}{E_0}

With E_0 = 300 k eV= 300000 eV

And replacing we have:

\lambda_0 = \frac{1240 x10^{-9} eV m}{300000eV}=4.13 x10^{-12}m = 4.12 pm

And then the scattered wavelength is given by:

\lambda ' = \lambda_0 + \Delta \lambda = 4.13 + 0.489 pm = 4.619 pm

And the energy of the scattered photon is given by:

E' = \frac{hc}{\lambda'}= \frac{1240x10^{-9} eVm}{4.619x10^{-12} m}=268456.37 eV - 268.46 keV

Part c

For this case we know that all the neergy lost by the photon neds to go into the recoiling electron so then we have this:

E_f = E_0 -E' = 300 -268.456 kev = 31.544 keV

What do you need to calculate the mechanical advantage of a block and tackle
Ira Lisetskai [31]
In a block and tackle, some friction in the pulleys will reduce the mechanical advantage of the machine. To include friction in a calculation of the mechanical advantage of a block and tackle, divide the weight of the object being lifted by the weight necessary to lift it.

Hope this helps

How does battery generate electric current in a circuit?
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

C. It creates negative electric charges and pushes them into the circuit

Explanation:

A battery has three main parts. The Cathode (Positive), the Electrolytes (energy source), and the Anode (negative). The anode takes energy from the electrolytes and creates more electrons. And because subatomic particles with the same charge don't like being in the same place, they move through the circuit to reach the cathode because opposites attract.

I hope this helps!
