In 1990, a pizza with a radius of 18.0 m was made in South Africa. Suppose you make an air-filled capacitor with parallel plates

whose area is equal to that of the pizza. If a potential difference of 575 V is applied across this capacitor, it will store just 3.31 J of electrical potential energy. What are the capacitance and plate separation of this capacitor?

Explanation:

We have,

Radius of pizza, r = 18 m

Potential difference, V = 575 V

Stored electrical potential energy, E = 3.31 J

The area if an air-filled capacitor with parallel plates is equal to that of the pizza. It means, A=\pi r^2=\pi (18)^2=1017.87\ m^2

The stored potential energy in a capacitor is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}CV^2

C is capacitance

C=\dfrac{2E}{V^2}\\\\C=\dfrac{2\times 3.31}{(575)^2}\\\\C=2\times 10^{-5}\ F

The formula of the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by :

C=\dfrac{\epsilon_o A}{d}

d is plate separation of this capacitor

d=\dfrac{\epsilon_o A}{C}\\\\d=\dfrac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 1017.87}{2\times 10^{-5}}\\\\d=4.5\times 10^{-4}\ m

What is the smallest radius of an unbanked (flat) track around which a bicyclist can travel if her speed is 22 km/h and the coef
Aleks [24]
First, let's put 22 km/h in m/s:

22 \frac{km}{h} \times  \frac{1000m}{1km}  \times  \frac{1h}{3600s}=6.11 \frac{m}{s}

Now the radial force required to keep an object of mass m, moving in circular motion around a radius R, is given by

F_{rad}=m \frac{v^2}{R}

The force of friction is given by the normal force (here, just the weight, mg) times the static coefficient of friction:

F_{fric}= mg \mu_{s}

Notice we don't use the kinetic coefficient even though the bike is moving.  This is because when the tires meet the road they are momentarily stationary with the road surface.  Otherwise the bike is skidding.

Now set these equal, since friction is the only thing providing the ability to accelerate (turn) without skidding off the road in a line tangent to the curve:

m\frac{v^2}{R} = mg \mu_{s} \\ \\ \frac{v^2}{R} = g \mu_{s} \\ \\R= \frac{v^2}{g \mu_{s}} \\ \\ R= \frac{6.11}{9.8 \times 0.37}=1.685m
