Answer:

(a) 1.47 x 10⁴ V/m

(b) 1.28 x 10⁻⁷C/m²

(c) 3.9 x 10⁻¹²F

(d) 9.75 x 10⁻¹¹C

Explanation:

(a) For a parallel plate capacitor, the electric field E between the plates is given by;

E = V / d               -----------(i)

Where;

V = potential difference applied to the plates

d = distance between these plates

From the question;

V = 25.0V

d = 1.70mm = 0.0017m

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

E = 25.0 / 0.0017

E = 1.47 x 10⁴ V/m

(c) The capacitance of the capacitor is given by

C = Aε₀ / d

Where

C = capacitance

A = Area of the plates = 7.60cm² = 0.00076m²

ε₀ = permittivity of free space =  8.85 x 10⁻¹²F/m

d = 1.70mm = 0.0017m

C = 0.00076 x  8.85 x 10⁻¹² / 0.0017

C = 3.9 x 10⁻¹²F

(d) The charge, Q, on each plate can be found as follows;

Q = C V

Q =  3.9 x 10⁻¹² x 25.0

Q = 9.75 x 10⁻¹¹C

Now since we have found other quantities, it is way easier to find the surface charge density.

(b) The surface charge density, σ, is the ratio of the charge Q on each plate to the area A of the plates. i.e

σ = Q / A

σ = 9.75 x 10⁻¹¹ /  0.00076

σ = 1.28 x 10⁻⁷C/m²

A copper wire 1.0 meter long and with a mass of .0014 kilograms per meter vibrates in two segments when under a tension of 27 Ne
Furkat [3]

Answer:

the frequency of this mode of vibration is 138.87 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

length of the copper wire, L = 1 m

mass per unit length of the copper wire, μ = 0.0014 kg/m

tension on the wire, T = 27 N

number of segments, n = 2

The frequency of this mode of vibration is calculated as;

F_n = \frac{n}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\F_2 = \frac{2}{2\times 1} \sqrt{\frac{27}{0.0014} }\\\\F_2 = 138.87 \ Hz

Therefore, the frequency of this mode of vibration is 138.87 Hz

The initial velocity of a 4.0kg box is 11m/s due west. After the box slides 4.0m horizontally its speed is 1.5 m/s. Determine th
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

The magnitude and direction of the non conservative force acting on the box is <F= 59.36 N - DUE EAST DIRECTION>.

Explanation:

m= 4 kg

Vi= 11 m/s

Vf= 1.5 m/s

d= 4m

d= Vi * t - a * t²/2

clearing a:

a= 2*(Vi * t - d)/ t²

Vf= Vi - a * t

replacing "a" and clearing t:

t= 2d/(Vf+Vi)

t= 0.64 s

found now the value of a:

a= Vi - Vf / t

a= 14.84 m/s ²

F= m * a

F= 59.36 N
