A parallel-plate capacitor, with air between the plates, is connected across a voltage source. This source establishes a potenti

al difference between the plates by placing charge of magnitude 4.33 ×10 -6 C on each plate. The space between the plates is then filled with a dielectric material, with a dielectric constant of 7.74. What must the magnitude of the charge on each capacitor plate now be, to produce the same potential difference between the plates as before?

Answer: 33.5 x 10⁻⁶ C

Explanation:

By definition, the capacitance is the relationship between the charge on one of the plates (assuming it's a capacitor) and the voltage between them:

C = Q / V

Now, it can be showed that we can find the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, taking into account the geometry and the dielectric material only, as follows:

C = ε A /d = ε₀ εr A / d

If the dielectric is air, we can assume εr = 1

If the space between plates is filled with a dielectric of dielectric constant 7.74, the new value for capacitance (regarding the former value) must be 7.74 times larger, as A and d didn't change.

So, in order to produce the same potential difference between the plates, we need to increase the charge, exactly 7.7 times:

Q = 7.7. 4.33 . 10⁻⁶ C = 33.5 . 10⁻⁶ C

The efficiency of a machine is always less than 100% because part of the energy input is used to
Travka [436]

Answer:

C. Overcome Friction

Explanation:

When using any machine usually those with moving parts, you may notice heat forming near the areas where most movement occurs. As friction continues, more energy is used up and released as heat. For that reason, the efficiency of a machine will forever be less than 100%

A plane travels down a runway 2750 m before it lifts off at an angle of 37 degrees from the horizontal. The plane has traveled 1
ss7ja [257]

Answer: 4.236km

Explanation:

Let's define the point (x, y) as:

x = horizontal distance moved.

y = vertical distance moved.

If the plane starts in the point (0, 0) then:

"A plane travels down a runway 2750 m before it lifts off..."

At this time, the position will be:

P = (0 + 2750m, 0) = (2750m, 0).

"it lifts off at an angle of 37 degrees from the horizontal. The plane has traveled 1.8 km since its wheels left the ground."

In this case, as the angle is measured from the horizontal, the components will be:

x = 1.8km*cos(37°) = 1.438km

y = 1.8km*sin(37°) =  1.083 km

Then the new position is:

P = (2750m + 1.438 km, 0 + 1.083 km)

Let's write it using the same units for all the quantities:

we know that

1km = 1000m

Then:

2750m = (2750/1000) km = 2.750 km.

Then we can write the new position as:

P = (2.750 km + 1.438km, 1.083km) = (4.188km, 1.083km)

Now, we define the displacement as the distance between the final position and the initial position.

The distance between two points (a, b) and (c, d) is:

D = √( (a  c)^2 + (b - d)^2)

In this case the points are:

(0, 0) for the initial position

(4.188km, 1.083km) for the final position.

And the displacement will be:

D = √( (4.188km - 0)^2 + (1.083 - 0)^2) = 4.236km
