a large parallel plate capacitor has plate seperation of 1.00 cm and plate area of 314 cm^2. The capacitor is connected across a

voltage of 20.0 V and has air betweeen the plates. How much work is done on the capacitor as the plate seperation is inceased to 2.00 cm?

Answer:

W = -2.76\times 10^{-9}~J

Explanation:

The work done on the capacitor is equal to the difference in potential energy stored in the capacitor in two different cases.

The potential energy is given by the following formula:

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

where C can be calculated using the plate separation and area.

C = \epsilon\frac{A}{d} = \epsilon\frac{0.0314}{0.01} = 3.14\epsilon

Therefore, the potential energy in the first case is

U = \frac{1}{2}3.14\epsilon (20)^2 = 628\epsilon

In the second case:

C_2 = \epsilon\frac{A}{d} = \epsilon\frac{0.0314}{0.02} = 1.57\epsilon\\U = \frac{1}{2}C_2 V^2 = \frac{1}{2}1.57\epsilon (20)^2 = 314\epsilon

The permittivity of the air is very close to that of vacuum, which is 8.8 x 10^-12.

So, the difference in the potential energy is

W = U_2 - U_1 = \epsilon(314 - 628) = -314 \times 8.8 \times 10^{-12} = -2.76\times 10^{-9}~J

A block of mass m = 4.8 kg slides from left to right across a frictionless surface with a speed Vi=7.3m/s. It collides with a bl
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The speed of the 11.5kg block after the collision is V≅4.1 m/s

Explanation:

ma= 4.8 kg

va1= 7.3 m/s

va2= - 2.5 m/s

mb= 11.5 kg

vb1= 0 m/s

vb2= ?

vb2= ( ma*va1 - ma*va2) / mb

vb2= 4.09 m/s ≅ 4.1 m/s

The energy E of the electron in a hydrogen atom can be calculated from the Bohr formula: =E−Ryn2 In this equation Ry stands for
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

  λ = 162 10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

Bohr's model for the hydrogen atom gives energy by the equation

         E_{n} = - k²e² / 2m (1 / n²)

Where k is the Coulomb constant, e and m the charge and mass of the electron respectively and n is an integer

The Planck equation

           E = h f

The speed of light is

          c = λ f

          E = h c /λ

For a transition between two states we have

          E_{n} - E_{m} = - k²e² / 2m (1 / n_{f}² -1 / n_{i}²)

           h c / λ = -k² e² / 2m (1 / n_{f}² - 1/ n_{i}²)

           1 / λ = (- k² e² / 2m h c) (1 / n_{f}² - 1/n_{i}²)

The Rydberg constant with a value of 1,097 107 m-1 is the result of the constant in parentheses

Let's calculate the emission of the transition

            1 /λ = 1.097 10⁷ (1/10² - 1/8²)

            1 / λ = 1.097 10⁷ (0.01 - 0.015625)

            1 /λ = 0.006170625 10⁷

            λ = 162 10⁻⁷ m
