A parallel plate capacitor is created by placing two large square conducting plates of length and width 0.1m facing each other,
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

8.854 pF

Explanation:

side of plate = 0.1 m ,

d = 1 cm = 0.01 m,

V = 5 kV = 5000 V

V' = 1 kV = 1000 V

Let K be the dielectric constant.

So, V' = V / K

K = V / V' = 5000 / 1000 = 5

C = ε0 A / d = 8.854 x 10^-12 x 0.1 x 0.1 / 0.01 = 8.854 x 10^-12 F

C = 8.854 pF

A 20-gram bullet traveling at 250 m/s strikes a block of wood that weighs 2 kg. With what velocity will the block and bullet mov
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

the velocity of the bullet-wood system after the collision is 2.48 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the bullet, m₀ = 20 g = 0.02 kg

velocity of the bullet, v₀ = 250 m/s

mass of the wood, m₁ = 2 kg

velocity of the wood, v₁ = 0

Let the velocity of the bullet-wood system after collision = v

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to calculate the final velocity of the system;

Initial momentum = final momentum

m₀v₀ + m₁v₁ = v(m₀ + m₁)

0.02 x 250  + 2 x 0    =    v(2  + 0.02)

5 + 0 = v(2.02)

5 = 2.02v

v = 5/2.02

v = 2.48 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the bullet-wood system after the collision is 2.48 m/s

a object with a mass of 70 kilograms is supported at a height 8 meters above the ground.what's the potential energy of the objec
Agata [3.3K]
Potential Energy = mgh,

where m = mass in kg,  g ≈ 10 m/s², h = height above ground = 8 m

PE = mgh
  
      = 70*10*8 = 5600 J

Name and describe the three types of binary systems.
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer and Explanation:

The binary system is a star system about half of the star are the part of the binary system

The important binary systems are

  • Visual binary : in visual binary system the two stars resolved visually with nay sort of optical device the orbit of binary orbit is very large about center of mass.
  • Spectroscopic binary : in this binary system the stars are detected by close analysis of light and after detection it is found that there are two seller spectrum present instead of one.
  • Eclipsing binary : eclipsing binary system is a several types of variable stars this binary system is very important in astrophysics
