A budding electronics hobbyist wants to make a simple 1.3 nF capacitor for tuning her crystal radio, using two sheets of aluminu

m foil as plates, with a few sheets of paper between them as a dielectric. The paper has a dielectric constant of 4.5, and the thickness of one sheet of it is 0.20 mm. If the sheets paper measures 27 cm x 36 cm and she cuts the aluminum foil to the same dimensions, how many sheets of paper should she use between her plates to get the proper capacitance?

Answer:

13 sheets

Explanation:

Capacitance of capacitor C = εA/d where C = 1.3 nF = 1.3 ×10⁻⁹ F, ε = permittivity of paper = 4ε₀, ε₀ = 8.854 × 10⁻¹² C²N⁻¹m⁻¹ , A =area of paper sheets = 27 cm x 36 cm = 972 cm ² = 0.0972 m² and d = distance between aluminium foils = number of sheets,n × thickness of sheet, t = nt , t = 0.20 mm = 0.2 × 10⁻³ m

C = εA/d = 4ε₀A/nt

n = 4ε₀A/Ct = 4 × 8.854 × 10⁻¹² C²N⁻¹m⁻¹ × 0.0972 m²/(1.3 ×10⁻⁹ F × 0.2 × 10⁻³ m) = 13.24 ≅ 13 sheets

Answer:

15sheets

Explanation:

Formula fie calculating the capacitance of a capacitor is expressed as;

C =εA/d where;

C is the capacitance of the capacitor = 1.3nF = 1.3 × 10^-9F

ε is the permittivity of the paper

If ε₀ = permittivity of free space = 8.854 × 10⁻¹² C²N⁻¹m⁻¹

ε = 4.5ε₀ = 4.5×8.854 × 10⁻¹² C²N⁻¹m⁻¹

ε = 39.843× 10⁻¹² C²N⁻¹m⁻¹

A is the area of the plates

A = 27cm×36cm

A = 0.27×0.36

A = 0.0972m²

d is the distance between the plates.

d = number of paper between the plates n × thickness t

d = nt

If t = 0.2mm

t = 0.0002m

d = 0.0002n

Substituting the given datas into the formula to get n, we have;

1.3×10^-9 = 39.843 × 10⁻¹²(0.0972)/0.0002n

1.3×10^-9 × 0.0002n = 39.843 × 10⁻¹² × 0.0972

2.6×10^-13n = 3.87×10⁻¹²

n = 3.87×10⁻¹²/2.6×10^-13

n = 1.49×10¹

n = 14.9/approximately 15sheets

It is difficult to extinguish a fire on a crude oil tanker, because each liter of crude oil releases 2.80 × 10 7 J of energy whe
boyakko [2]

Answer:

10.4L of water is expended when 1L of crude oil is burned.

Explanation:

This problem requires us to calculate the volume of water that must be expended to absorb the amount of energy released from the burning of 1.00L of crude oil.

In going from water at 18.5°C to steam at 285°C, the water undergoes 3 stages:

Absorption of heat from 18.5°C to 100°C >> phase change to vapour at 100°C >> heating from 100°C to steam at 285°C

Given Cw = 4186 J/kg°C and Cs = 2020 J/kg°C. The latent heat of of vaporization of water Lv = 2.256 ×10⁶ J/kg

The total heat absorbed in the process per kilogram

H = Cw × (100 – 18.5) + Lv + Cs × (285 – 100)

H = 4186 × 81.5 + 2. 256 ×10⁶ + 2020× 185

= 2.696 ×10⁶ J/kg

The amount of heat in J/L of water needed can be calculated as follows:

Density of water = 1000kg/m³ =

1000 kg/m³ × 1m³/1000L = 1kg/L (Basically conversion of density in kg/m³ to kg/L)

Let the volume of water needed be V litres.

Then the mass of water that must be expended = Density × Volume

= 1kg/L × V L = Vkg

The heat that would be absorbed by the water when 1L of crude oil is burned is V×H

= 2.696×10⁶ × V

This is also equal to 2.80×10⁷ J of energy (given).

So,

2.696×10⁶V = 2.8×10⁷

V = (2.80×10⁷)/(2.696×10⁶) = 10.4L of water.

A 70 kg base runner begins his slide into second base while moving at a speed of 4.35 m/s. He slides so that his speed is zero j
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer

given,

Mass of the runner, M = 70 Kg

speed of the runner on the second base = 4.35 m/s

speed at the base = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity,g = 9.8 m/s²

a) magnitude of mechanical energy lost

  Mechanical energy lost is equal top gain in kinetic energy

   ME_{Lost}=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

   ME_{Lost}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 70\times 4.35^2

   ME_{Lost}=662.29\ J

b) Work done = Force x displacement

    W = F. x

     F = μ mg

    W = μ mg . x

Work done is equal to 662.29 J

  x=\dfrac{W}{\mu m g}

using the coefficient of the friction,μ = 0.7

  x=\dfrac{662.29}{ 0.7\times 70\times 9.8}

     x = 1.38 m

Hence, the runner will slide to 1.38 m.

PLEASE HELP!!! GIVING BRAINLIEST!! ill also answer questions that you have posted if you answer this correctly!!!! (60pts)
Alona [7]

Answer:

Weight

Explanation:

"An object will float if the buoyancy force exerted on it by the fluid balances its weight, i.e. if FB=mg F B = mg . But the Archimedes principle states that the buoyant force is the weight of the fluid displaced. So, for a floating object on a liquid, the weight of the displaced liquid is the weight of the object."

Hope this helps! :)

A binary star system consists of two stars of masses m1 and m2. The stars, which gravitationally attract each other, revolve aro
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

 a₂ = m₁ / m₂ a₁

Explanation:

For this exercise we note that the attraction between the two stars is an action and reaction force, therefore it has the same magnitude, but it is applied to each of the bodies

Let's apply Newton's second law on the star 1

     F₁ = m₁ a₁

Newton's second law in star 2

       F₂ = m₂ a₂

       | F₁ | = | F₂ |

      m₁  a₁ = m₂  a₂

      a₂ = m₁ / m₂ a₁
