A parallel-plate capacitor in air has a plate separation of 1.51 cm and a plate area of 25.0 cm2. The plates are charged to a po

tential difference of 260 V and disconnected from the source. The capacitor is then immersed in distilled water. Assume the liquid is an insulator.
(a) What is the charge on the plates before immersion?
(b) What is the charge on the plates after immersion?

Answer:

(a) 380.96 pC

(b) 3.25V

Explanation:

(a) Before immersion,

$C_{air}$ = $\frac{E_{0}A }{d}$

⇒(8.85E-12× 25E-4× 260) ÷(0.0151)

= 380.96 pC

(b) Charge on the plates after immersion can be calculated by,

Q = ΔV×C

= Δ $V_{air}$ ÷ K

where K is the constant for distilled water

= 260 ÷ 80

= 3.25V

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) Charge on the plates before immersion

as we know that,

C = εA/d

C = 8.85× $10^{-12}$ × 25× $10^{-4}$ / 1.51× $10^{-2}$

= 1.46× $10^{-12}$

Q = CV

= (1.46× $10^{-12}$ ) (260)

= 3.796× $10^{-10}$ C

(b) Charge on the plates after immersion

Q = 3.796× $10^{-10}$ C

The charge will remain the same, as the capacitor was disconnected before it was immersed.

Find the period of the leg of a man who is 1.83 m in height with a mass of 67 kg. The moment of inertia of a cylinder rotating a

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

$T = 1.108\,s$

Explanation:

The period of a physical pendulum is:

$T = \sqrt{\frac{I_{O}}{m\cdot g \cdot L} }$

$T=2\cdot \pi \sqrt{\frac{\frac{1}{3}\cdot m \cdot L^{2} }{m\cdot g\cdot L} }$

$T=2\cdot \pi \sqrt{\frac{L }{3\cdot g} }$

The length of the leg is approximately the height of the person:

$L = 0.915\,m$

The period is:

$T = 2\cdot \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.915\,m}{3\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )} }$

$T = 1.108\,s$

How does the gravitational force between two objects change if the distance

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The Gravitational Force is reduced 4 times

Explanation:

The equation of Gravitational force follows:

F = (G*m1*m2)/r^2

Assume that G*m1*m2 = 1 and r = 1:

F = 1/1^2 = 1 N

Multiply the radius by 2

F = 1/2^2 = 1/4 N

So doubling the distance reduces the force 4 times.

The outer layer of cable on a cable reel is 16.2 cm from the center of the reel. The reel is initially stationary and can rotate

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

B. w=12.68rad/s

C. α=3.52rad/s^2

Explanation:

B)

We can solve this problem by taking into account that (as in the uniformly accelerated motion)

$\theta=\omega_{0}t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^{2}\\\theta = \frac{s}{r}$ ( 1 )

where w0 is the initial angular speed, α is the angular acceleration, s is the arc length and r is the radius.

In this case s=3.7m, r=16.2cm=0.162m, t=3.6s and w0=0. Hence, by using the equations (1) we have

$\theta=\frac{3.7m}{0.162m}=22.83rad$

$22.83rad=\frac{1}{2}\alpha (3.6s)^2\\\\\alpha=2\frac{(22.83rad)}{3.6^2s}=3.52\frac{rad}{s^2}$

to calculate the angular speed w we can use $\alpha=\frac{\omega _{f}-\omega _{i}}{t _{f}-t _{i}}\\\\\omega_{f}=\alpha t_{f}=(3.52\frac{rad}{s^2})(3.6)=12.68\frac{rad}{s}$

Thus, wf=12.68rad/s

C) We can use our result in B)

$\alpha=3.52\frac{rad}{s^2}$

I hope this is useful for you
