Answer:

0.0667 m

Explanation:

λ = wavelength of light = 400 nm = 400 x 10⁻⁹ m

D = screen distance = 2.5 m

d = slit width = 15 x 10⁻⁶ m

n = order = 1

θ = angle = ?

Using the equation

d Sinθ = n λ

(15 x 10⁻⁶) Sinθ = (1) (400 x 10⁻⁹)

Sinθ = 26.67 x 10⁻³

y = position of first minimum

Using the equation for small angles

tanθ = Sinθ = y/D

26.67 x 10⁻³ = y/2.5

y = 0.0667 m

It takes 52,000 Joules to heat a cup of coffee to boiling from room temperature. How long a piece of 20 cm wide Aluminum foil wo
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

L = 1.11 x 10^{6} m, is the length of piece of 20 cm wide Aluminum foil to make capacitor large enough to hold 52000 J of energy.

Explanation:

Solution:

Data Given:

Heat Energy = 52000 J

Dielectric Constant of the plastic Bag = 3.7 = K

Thickness = 2.6 x 10^{5} m =d

V = 610 volts

A = width x Length

width = 20 cm = 20 x 10^{-2} m

Length = ?

So,

we know that,

U = 1/2 C Δv^{2}

U = 52000 J

C = ?

V = 610 volts'

So,

U = 1/2 C Δv^{2}  

52000 J = (0.5) x (C) x (610^{2})

C = 0.28 F

And we also know that,

C = \frac{K*E*A}{d}

E = 8.85 x 10 ^{-12}

K = 3.7

A = 0.20 x L

d = 2.6 x 10^{5} m

Plugging in the values into the formula, we get:

0.28 = \frac{3.7 * 8.85 .10^{-12} * (0.20 . L) }{2.6 . 10^{5} }

Solving for L, we get:

L = 1.11 x 10^{6} m,

is the length of piece of 20 cm wide Aluminum foil to make capacitor large enough to hold 52000 J of energy.
