Ask Your Teacher When a potential difference of 160 V is applied to the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor, the plates carry a

surface charge density of 26.0 nC/cm2. What is the spacing between the plates?

The spacing between the plates is 5.4\cdot 10^{-6} m

Explanation:

The electric field in the spacing between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor is uniform and it is given by

E=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}

where

\sigma is the surface charge density

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m is the vacuum permittivity

We also know that the relationship between electric field and potential difference across a parallel-plate capacitor is

V=Ed

where

V is the potential difference

d is the spacing between the plates

Combining the two equations we get

V=\frac{\sigma d}{\epsilon_0}

And given that here we have:

V = 160 V

\sigma = 26.0 nC/cm^2 = 26.0\cdot 10^{-9} C/cm^2=26.0\cdot 10^{-5} C/m^2

We can solve the equation for d, the spacing between the plates:

d=\frac{V \epsilon_0}{\sigma}=\frac{(160)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})}{26.0\cdot 10^{-5}}=5.4\cdot 10^{-6} m

Momentum Formula: P = mv

  • P is momentum (in kg · m/s)
  • m is mass (in kg)
  • v is velocity (in m/s)
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

m₁ = 87.2 kg

v₁ = 2.87 m/s

m₂ = 0.0520 kg

v₂ = 789 m/s

<u>Step 2: Find Momentums</u>

<em>Football Player</em>

  1. Substitute [MF]:                    P = (87.2 kg)(2.87 m/s)
  2. Multiply:                                P = 250.264 kg · m/s

<em>Bullet</em>

  1. Substitute [MF]:                    P = (0.0520 kg)(789 m/s)
  2. Multiply:                                P = 41.028 kg · m/s

<u>Step 3: Find difference</u>

  1. Define equation:                    P₁ - P₂
  2. Substitute:                              250.264 kg · m/s - 41.028 kg · m/s
  3. Subtract:                                 209.236 kg · m/s

While passing a slower car on the highway, you accelerate uniformly from 20.1 m/s to 33.2 m/s in a time of 10.6 s. How far do yo
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

282 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 20.1 m/s

v = 33.2 m/s

t = 10.6 s

Find: Δx

Δx = ½ (v + v₀) t

Δx = ½ (33.2 m/s + 20.1 m/s) (10.6 s)

Δx ≈ 282 m
