When a certain air-filled parallel-plate capacitor is connected across a battery, it acquires a charge of magnitude 172 μC on ea

ch plate. While the battery connection is maintained, a dielectric slab is inserted into, and fills, the region between the plates. This results in the accumulation of an additional charge of magnitude 220 μC on each plate. What is the dielectric constant of the dielectric slab?

Answer:

k = 2.279

Explanation:

Given:

Magnitude of charge on each plate, Q = 172 μC

Now,

the capacitance, C of a capacitor is given as:

C = Q/V

where,

V is the potential difference

Thus, the capacitance due to the charge of 172 μC will be

C = \frac{(172\ \mu C)}{V}

Now, when the when the additional charge is accumulated

the capacitance (C') will be

C' = \frac{(172+220)\ \mu C)}{V}

or

C' = \frac{(392)\ \mu C)}{V}

now the dielectric constant (k) is given as:

k=\frac{C'}{C}

substituting the values, we get

k=\frac{\frac{(392\ \mu C)}{V}}{\frac{(172)\ \mu C)}{V}}

or

k = 2.279

Suppose a certain car supplies a constant deceleration of A meter per second per second. If it is traveling at 90km/hr. When. th
aksik [14]

Answer:

i)-6.25m/s

ii)18 metres

iii)26.5 m/s or 95.4 km/hr

Explanation:

Firstly convert 90km/hr to m/s

90 × 1000/3600 = 25m/s

(i) Apply v^2 = u^2 + 2As...where v(0m/s) is the final speed and u(25m/s) is initial speed and also s is the distance moved through(50 metres)

0 = (25)^2 + 2A(50)

0 = 625 + 100A....then moved the other value to one

-625 = 100A

Hence A = -6.25m/s^2(where the negative just tells us that its deceleration)

(ii) Firstly convert 54km/hr to m/s

In which this is 54 × 1000/3600 = 15m/s

then apply the same formula as that in (i)

0 = (15)^2 + 2(-6.25)s

-225 = -12.5s

Hence the stopping distance = 18metres

(iii) Apply the same formula and always remember that the deceleration values is the same throughout this question

0 = u^2 + 2(-6.25)(56)

u^2 = 700

Hence the speed that the car was travelling at is the,square root of 700 = 26.5m/s

In km/hr....26.5 × 3600/1000 = 95.4 km/hr

An ideal gas is at a pressure 1.00 Ã 105 n/m2 and occupies a volume 2.00 m3. if the gas is compressed to a volume 1.00 m3 while
blsea [12.9K]
The behavior of an ideal gas at constant temperature obeys Boyle's Law of
p*V = constant
where
p = pressure
V = volume.

Given:
State 1:  
  p₁ = 10⁵ N/m² (Pa)
  V₁ = 2 m³
State 2:
  V₂ = 1 m³

Therefore the pressure at state 2 is given by
p₂V₂ = p₁V₁
or
p₂ = (V₁/V₂) p₁
    = 2 x 10⁵ Pa

Answer: 2 x 10⁵ N/m² or 2 atm.

A Porsche challenges a Honda to a 400-m race. Because the Porsche's acceleration of 3.5 m/s² is larger than the Honda's 3.0 m/s²
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: The Porsche Wins. Arrives 19secs earlier before the Honda.

Explanation: The head start of 1secs corresponded with the difference in acceleration {3.5m/s² - 3m/s²}=0.5m/s²

Using the first equation of motion we obtain the velocity which correspond to this acceleration (0.5m/s²) and time of 1secs where initial velocity u = 0

V = u + at

V= 0 + at

V = 0.5 * 1 = 0.5m/s

Now let find the velocity of each of the car.

If V. a

0.5m/s 0.5m/s²

........m/s. 3.5m/s²

Velocity of porche Vp

= (3.5/0.5) * 0.5 = 3.5 m/s

Also if. V. a

0.5m/s. 0.5m/s²

.....m/s. 3 m/s²

Velocity of Honda Vh

= {3/0.5} * 0.5 = 3m/s

So let's find the time t taken by both cars to cover the distance of 400m

Recall,

Velocity = distance/time

Time t = distance/velocity

For Porche, t = 400/3.5 =114.29secs

For Honda, t = 400/3 = 133.33secs

Looking critically, we noticed that Porche car took shorter time.

The difference In time is

= (133.33 - 114.29)secs = 19.04secs
