Question 4 (18 marks) (a) During a Physics Lab experiment, 1 st year SFY students analyzed the behavior of capacitors by connect

ing two capacitors to power sources. In one part of the lab activities, students connected a 2.50 µF capacitor to a 746 V power source, whilst connected a second 6.80 µF capacitor to a 562 V source. Once these capacitors are charged, they are then removed from the power sources and are interconnected by connecting the two positive plates (of the capacitors) together, and the two negative plates together. Determine the potential difference and charge across EACH capacitor. (12 marks) (b) In the second part of the lab activities, students charged another capacitor () using a 165 V source. Once charged, the capacitor was then removed from removed from the source and then connected to another capacitor () which was initially uncharged. If the students measured the final potential difference across each capacitor to be 15V, determine the value of (). (6 marks)

Answer:

1.) 274.5v

2.) 206.8v

Explanation:

1.) Given that In one part of the lab activities, students connected a 2.50 µF capacitor to a 746 V power source, whilst connected a second 6.80 µF capacitor to a 562 V source.

The potential difference and charge across EACH capacitor will be

V = Voe

Where Vo = initial voltage

e = natural logarithm = 2.718

For the first capacitor 2.50 µF,

V = Vo × 2.718

746 = Vo × 2.718

Vo = 746/2.718

Vo = 274.5v

To calculate the charge, use the below formula.

Q = CV

Q = 2.5 × 10^-6 × 274.5

Q = 6.86 × 10^-4 C

For the second capacitor 6.80 µF 

V = Voe

562 = Vo × 2.718

Vo = 562/2.718

Vo = 206.77v

The charge on it will be

Q = CV

Q = 6.8 × 10^-6 × 206.77

Q = 1.41 × 10^-3 C

B.) Using the formula V = Voe again

165 = Vo × 2.718

Vo = 165 /2.718

Vo = 60.71v

Q = C × 60.71

Q = C

A pipe is horizontal and carries oil that has a viscosity of 0.14 Pa s. The volume flow rate of the oil is 5.3 × 10-5 m3/s. The
Liula [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

\mu =0.14 Pa.s

Volume Flow rate Q=5.3\times 10^{-5} m^3/s

Length L=37 m

radius r=0.58 cm

D=1.16 cm

According to Hagen-Poiseuille Equation

difference in Pressure is given

\Delta P=\frac{128\mu L\cdot Q}{\pi D^4}

P_{in}-P_{out}=\frac{128\mu L\cdot Q}{\pi D^4}

P_{in}=P_{out}+\frac{128\mu L\cdot Q}{\pi D^4}

P_{in}=1.01325\times 10^5+\frac{128\times 0.14\times 37\times 5.3\times 10^{-5}}{\pi\cdot 1.16^4\times 10^{-8}}

P_{in}=1.01325\times 10^5+6.17\times 10^5

P_{in}=7.19\times 10^5

It has been suggested, and not facetiously, that life might have originated on Mars and been carried to Earth when a meteor hit
damaskus [11]

Answer:

a=3125000 m/s^2\\a=3.125*10^6 m/s^2

Acceleration, in m/s, of such a rock fragment = 3.125*10^6m/s^2

Explanation:

According to Newton's Third Equation of motion

V_f^2-V_i^2=2as

Where:

V_f is the final velocity

V_i is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance

In our case:

V_f=V_{escape},  V_i=0,s=4 m

So Equation will become:

V_{escape}^2-V_i^2=2as\\V_{escape}^2-0=2as\\V_{escape}^2=2as\\a=\frac{V_{escape}^2}{2s}\\a=\frac{(5*10^3m)^2}{2*4}\\a=3125000 m/s^2\\a=3.125*10^6 m/s^2

Acceleration, in m/s, of such a rock fragment = 3.125*10^6m/s^2

SP: Calculate the moment
ipn [44]

Answer:

Moment of the force is 20 N-m.

Explanation:

Given:

Force exerted by the person is, F=80\ N

Distance of application of force from the point about which moment is needed is, d=25\ cm=\frac{25}{100}\ m=0.25\ m

Now, we know that, moment of a force 'F' about a point at a perpendicular distance of 'd' from the same point is given as the product of the force and the perpendicular distance.

Therefore, the moment of the force about the end of the claw hammer is given as:

M=F\times d\\\\M=(80\ N)(0.25\ m)\\\\M=20\textrm{ N-m}

Hence, the moment of the force exerted by the person about the end of the claw hammer is 20 N-m.

If Sarah melts 10g of tin. What mass of melted tin would she have at the end of the experiment?​
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

10g

Explanation:

As the Law of Conservation of Mass states that " Mass can neither be created nor be destroyed in a chemical reaction".

Though melting of tin isn't a chemical change, the same logic is applied here...

Hence,

The mass of tin will be 10 g itself...
