Answer

given,

mass of the hiker = 66.5 kg

elevation of the hiker,h₁ = 1270 m

elevation of top peak,h₂ = 2660 m

a) Change in potential energy

    Δ PE = m g h₂ - m g h₁

    Δ PE = m g (h₂ - h₁)

    Δ PE = 66.5 x 9.8 x  (2660 - 1270)

    Δ PE = 905863 J

b) Minimum work require by the hiker will be equal to Δ PE = 905863 J

c) yes, it can be more than this, if friction is present on the surface.

The membrane that surrounds a certain type of living cell has a surface area of 4.3 x 10-9 m2 and a thickness of 1.1 x 10-8 m. A
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The charge resides on the outer surface = 1.245 \times 10^{-12} C

Explanation:

Surface area of cell  (A) = 4.3\times 10^{-9}  m^{2}

Separation between two plate  (d) = 1.1 \times 10^{-8}  m  

Dielectric constant (k) = 4.2

Potential difference (\Delta V) = 85.7 \times 10^{-3} V

The capacitance of parallel plate capacitor in free space is given by,

           C = \frac{\epsilon_{o} A }{d}

Where \epsilon_{o}  = permittivity of free space = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}

The Capacitance of capacitor is increase by k times when it placed in dielectric medium.

C_{dielectric}  = \frac{k \epsilon_{o} A }{d}

And we know that, C = \frac{Q}{ \Delta V}

So charge on the outer surface is given by,

      Q = \frac{k \epsilon A \Delta V }{d}

      Q = \frac{4.2 \times 4.3 \times 10^{-9} \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \times 85.7\times 10^{-3}   }{1.1 \times 10^{-8} }

      Q = 1.245 \times 10^{-12}

A 0.55-μF capacitor is connected to a 3.5-V battery. How much charge is on each plate of the capacitor?
yan [13]

Answer:

1.925 μC

Explanation:

Charge: This can be defined as the product of the capacitance of a capacitor and the voltage. The S.I unit of charge is Coulombs (C)

The formula for the charge stored in a capacitor is given as,

Q = CV ................... Equation 1

Where Q = charge, C = Capacitor, V = Voltage.

Note: 1 μF  = 10⁻⁶  F

Given: C = 0.55 μF = 0.55×10⁻⁶ F, V = 3.5 V.

Substitute into equation 1

Q = 0.55×10⁻⁶×3.5

Q = 1.925×10⁻⁶ C.

Q = 1.925 μC

Hence the charge on the plate = 1.925 μC
