A parallel-plate vacuum capacitor has 8.60 J of energy stored in it. The separation between the plates is 3.80 mm . If the separ

ation is decreased to 1.45 mm , What is the energy now stored if the capacitor was disconnected from the potential source before the separation of the plates was changed?
What is the energy now stored if the capacitor remained connected to the potential source while the separation of the plates was changed?

Answer:

Part a)

E = \frac{8.60}{2.62} = 3.28 J

Part b)

E = 2.62(8.60) = 22.5 J

Explanation:

As we know that the energy of capacitor when it is not connected to potential source is given as

U = \frac{Q^2}{2C}

As we know that initial energy is given as

8.60 = \frac{Q^2}{2C}

now we know that capacitance of parallel plate capacitor is given as

C = \frac{\epsilon_0A}{d}

now the new capacitance when distance is changed from 3.80 mm to 1.45 mm

C' = \frac{Cd}{d'}

C' = \frac{C(3.80)}{1.45}

C' = 2.62 C

Now the new energy of the capacitor is given as

E = \frac{Q^2}{2(2.62C)}

E = \frac{8.60}{2.62} = 3.28 J

Part b)

Now if the voltage difference between the plates of capacitor is given constant

now the energy energy of capacitor is

U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2

8.60 = \frac{1}{2}CV^2

now when capacitance is changed to new value then new energy is given as

E = \frac{1}{2}C'V^2

E = \frac{1}{2}(2.62C)V^2

E = 2.62(8.60) = 22.5 J

Which tuning forks will give rise to a beat frequency of 20 Hz when sounded together with a 240 Hz tuning fork?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Use the concept of beat frequency to find the applicable final freqeuncy for 20Hz beat frequency.

Beat can be defined as 'the interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies0

The expression for beat frequency is given as

f_{beat} = |f_1-f_2|

Where,

f_2 = Final frequency

f_1 = Initial frequency

The beat frequency for us is 25Hz and the initial frequency is 240Hz, then

20= |f_2-240|

Being an absolute value, two values are possible, both in addition and subtraction:

f_2 = 240 \pm 20

The two possible values are

f_2 = 220Hz

f_2 = 260Hz

Consider the following mass distribution where the x- and y-coordinates are given in meters: 5.0 kg at (0.0, 0.0) m, 2.9 kg at (
Sauron [17]

Answer:

x = -1.20 m

y = -1.12 m

Explanation:

as we know that four masses and their position is given as

5.0 kg (0, 0)

2.9 kg (0, 3.2)

4 kg (2.5, 0)

8.3 kg (x, y)

As we know that the formula of center of gravity is given as

x_{cm} = \frac{m_1 x_1 + m_2x_2 + m_3x_3 + m_4x_4}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4}

0 = \frac{5(0) + 2.9(0) + 4(2.5) + 8.3 x}{5 + 2.9 + 4 + 8.3}

10 + 8.3 x = 0

x = -1.20 m

Similarly for y direction we have

y_{cm} = \frac{m_1 y_1 + m_2y_2 + m_3y_3 + m_4y_4}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4}

0 = \frac{5(0) + 2.9(3.2) + 4(0) + 8.3 y}{5 + 2.9 + 4 + 8.3}

9.28 + 8.3 x = 0

x = -1.12 m
