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

Answer:

\frac{kQ}{r^2} r^

Explanation:

Electric field strength= Force/unit charge

E= (kQq/r²)/q ₓ r

where r is the unit vector in the direction of unit charge

E= \frac{kQ}{r^2} r^

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a 60.0-m building and lands 100.0 m from the base of thebuilding. Ignore air resis
Bumek [7]

Answer:

a)3.5s

b)28.57m/S

c)34.33m/S

d)44.66m/S

Explanation:

Hello!

we will solve this exercise numeral by numeral

a) to find the time the ball takes in the air we must consider that vertically the ball experiences a movement with constant acceleration whose value is gravity (9.81m / S ^ 2), that the initial vertical velocity is zero, we use the following equation for a body that moves with constant acceleration

Y= VoT+0.5gt^{2}

where

Vo = Initial speed =0

T = time

g=gravity=9.81m/s^2

y = height=60m

solving for time

Y=0.5gt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{Y}{0.5g} } \\t=\frac{60}{0.5(9.81)} \\

T=3.5s

b)The horizontal speed remains constant since there is no horizontal acceleration. with the value of the distance traveled (100m) and the time that lasts in the air (3.5s) we estimate the horizontal speed

V=\frac{x}{t} =\frac{100}{3.5}=28.57m/s

c)

to find the final vertical velocity we use the equations for motion with constant velocity as follows

Vf=Vo+g.t    

Vf=0+(9.81 )(3.5)=34.335m/S          

d)Finally, to find the resulting velocity, we add the horizontal and vertical velocities vectorially, this is achieved by finding the square root of the sum of its squares

V=\sqrt{Vx^2+Vy^2} =\sqrt{34.33^2+28.57^2} =44.67m/S

What is projectile motion​
Radda [10]

\boxed{\large{\bold{\textbf{\textsf{{\color{blue}{Answer}}}}}}:)}

\sf{\qquad{\qquad{\underline{\underline{ Projectile~motion }}}}}

If an object is given an initial velocity in any direction and then allowed to travel freely under gravity only, it is called a projectile motion.

It is basically 3 types

  1. horizontally projectile motion
  2. oblique projectile motion
  3. included plane projectile motion

The path followed by a projectile is called its trajectory.
