Answer:

V = 3.71×10⁴ V

Explanation:

Potential difference: This can be defined as the work done in moving a positive charge from infinity to any point in an electric field.

The S.I unit of potential difference is Volt (V).

The expression for potential difference is

V = E×d.............................. Equation 1

Where V = potential difference between the plates, E = Electric field , d = distance of separation between the plates

Given: E = 5.71×10⁵ N/C, d = 6.49 cm = 0.0649 m.

Substitute into equation 1

V = 5.71×10⁵×0.0649

V = 3.71×10⁴ V

Answer:

37057.9V

Explanation:

Electric potential is defined as the work done in moving a unit positive charge from infinity to a point.

Electric potential (E) = Potential Difference (V)/distance between plates(d)

Given; electric field of 5.71 x 10^5 N/C; distance between plates =6.49cm = 0.0649m

Since E = V/d

V = Ed

V = 5.71×10^5×0.0649

V = 37057.9Volts

The potential difference (in V) between the plates is 37057.9V

Elena L [17]

Answer:

a) 0.167 μC/m^2

b) 1.887 * 10^4 V/m

Explanation:

Hello!

First let's find the surface charge density:

a)

Since thesatellite is metallic, the accumalted charge will be uniformly distribuited on its surface. Therefore the charge density σ will be:

σ = Q/A

Where A is the area of the satellite, which is:

A=4πr^2 = πd^2 = π(1.9m)^2

Therefore:

σ = (1.9)/(π (1.9)^2) μC/m^2 = 0.167 μC/m^2

Now let's calculate the electric field

b)

Just outside the surface of the satellite the elctric field will be:

E = σ/ε0

Where      ε0=8.85×10^−12 C/Vm

Therefore:

E = (0.167*10^-6 C/m^2) / (8.85*10^-12  C/Vm) = 0.01887 *10^6 V/m

E = 1.887 * 10^4 V/m

I am Lyosha [343]

The steps in the heating of a metal seat in a park are:

Step 1: Heat travels from the sun to Earth

Step 2: Heat travels through atmosphere to the top of the seat

Step 3: Heat from the top of the seat travels through the seat to the lower parts of the seat.

-- Heat is transferred by radiation in Step 1 and Step 2. <em>(B)</em>

-- From the top of the seat to the bottom, heat is transferred by conduction.  

There's no convection happening anywhere in the park-hot-seat scenario.

A 20 kg bike accelerates at 10 m/s2. What was the force?
agasfer [191]

Answer:

200 N = 200 Newtons

Explanation:

Just use the formula F = m*a

F = Force in Newtons

m = mass and is 20 kg

a = acceleration and is 10 m/s^2

F = 20 * 10

F = 200 Newtons.

PROVE THAT G = GM/R² WHERE THE SYMBOLS HAS THEIR USUAL MEANINGS<br>​
butalik [34]

Answer:

g=GM/R^2

Universal Gravutation Constant:

f=GM×m/R^2

Force can be also expressed as

f=m×g

so,

mg=GMxm/R^2

The m gets cancelled so

g=GM/R^2
