Answer

3.340J

Explanation;

Using the relation. Energy stored in capacitor = U = 7.72 J

U =(1/2)CV^2

C =(eo)A/d

C*d=(eo)A=constant

C2d2=C1d1

C2=C1d1/d2

The separation between the plates is 3.30mm . The separation is decreased to 1.45 mm.

Initial separation between the plates =d1= 3.30mm .

Final separation = d2 = 1.45 mm

(A) if the capacitor was disconnected from the potential source before the separation of the plates was changed, charge 'q' remains same

Energy=U =(1/2)q^2/C

U2C2 = U1C1

U2 =U1C1 /C2

U2 =U1d2/d1

Final energy = Uf = initial energy *d2/d1

Final energy = Uf =7.72*1.45/3.30

(A) Final energy = Uf = 3.340J

A capacitor is charged until it holds 5.0 j of energy. it is then connected across a 10-kω resistor. in 13.6 ms , the resistor d
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The capacite is C=5.32 uF using the equations of voltage and energy in capacitance  

Explanation:

The energy holds is 5 J and the resistor dissipates 2J so the energy total is 3J

Using:

V_{t}= V_{o}e^{\frac{-t}{R*C} }

Voltage in this case is the energy dissipated so

E_{t}= E_{o}e^{\frac{-t}{R*C} }

\frac{\sqrt{E_t} }{\sqrt{E_o} } = e^{\frac{-t}{R*C} }

\frac{\sqrt{3 J} }{\sqrt{5J} } = e^{\frac{-13.6ms}{10kw*C} }

Using the equation to find capacitance

ln 0.775= e^{\frac{-13.6 x10^{3} }{10x10^{3}*C }} \\ln(0.775)= ln * e^{\frac{-13.6 x10^{3s} }{10x10^{3}*C }} \\\\ln(0.775)= {\frac{-13.6 x10^{3} }{10x10^{3}*C }} \\C= \frac{-13.6 x10^{-3} }{10x10x^{3}*ln(0.775) }

C= 5.32x10^{-6} F

C= 5.32 uF because u is the symbol for micro that is equal to 10^{-6}

What is the definition of work when net force is parallel to the distance?
goldfiish [28.3K]
Work in general is given by W=F·d where F is the force vector and d is the displacement vector.  The dot symbol is the dot product which is a measure of how parallel two vectors are.  It can be replaced by the cosine of the angle between the two vectors and the vectors replaced by their magnitudes.  If F and d are parallel then the angle is zero and the cosine is unity.  So in this case work can be defined as the product of the magnitudes of the force and distance:

user100 [1]

Answer:

4.2 is the answer

Explanation

The image formed in a plane mirror is an equal distance behind the mirror as the object in front of it.

Step 1: the equation to this problem would be: 8.4/2

Step 2: 8.4 ÷ 2 = 4.2
