A parallel plate capacitor with air between the plates has a potential difference of 71.0 V. Determine the potential difference
Gwar [14]

Answer:

15.8 V

Explanation:

The relationship between capacitance and potential difference across a capacitor is:

q=CV

where

q is the charge stored on the capacitor

C is the capacitance

V is the potential difference

Here we call C and V the initial capacitance and potential difference across the capacitor, so that the initial charge stored is q.

Later, a dielectric material is inserted between the two plates, so the capacitance changes according to

C'=kC

where k is the dielectric constant of the material. As a result, the potential difference will change (V'). Since the charge stored by the capacitor remains constant,

q=C'V'

So we can combine the two equations:

CV=CV'\\CV=(kC)V'\\V'=\frac{V}{k}

and since we have

V = 71.0 V

k = 4.50

We find the new potential difference:

V'=\frac{71.0}{4.50}=15.8 V

In the sport of parasailing, a person is attached to a rope being pulled by a boat while hanging from a parachute-like sail. A r
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

570 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram on the rider.  There are three forces: tension force 15° below the horizontal, drag force 30° above the horizontal, and weight downwards.

The rider is moving at constant speed, so acceleration is 0.

Sum of the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

F cos 30° - T cos 15° = 0

F = T cos 15° / cos 30°

Sum of the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

F sin 30° - W - T sin 15° = 0

W = F sin 30° - T sin 15°

Substituting:

W = (T cos 15° / cos 30°) sin 30° - T sin 15°

W = T cos 15° tan 30° - T sin 15°

W = T (cos 15° tan 30° - sin 15°)

Given T = 1900 N:

W = 1900 (cos 15° tan 30° - sin 15°)

W = 570 N

The rider weighs 570 N (which is about the same as 130 lb).

Where is the potential energy equal to zero?
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

im sure your already past this but it's E.

Explanation:

This is because in this case potential energy is linear to height, which means that the higher the more potential energy.

Why does the moon exert a greater tidal influence than the sun?
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Well, I'm not sure right now that it actually does.

But if it does, that's because the sun is about 400 times
FARTHER from the Earth than the moon is.
