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.

Suppose a parachutist is falling toward the ground, and the downward force of gravity is exactly equal to the upward force of ai

Serhud [2]

Answer:

Option b. is correct.

Explanation:

In the given question a parachutist is falling toward the ground .

Also, the downward force of gravity is exactly equal to the upward force of air resistance.

So, net force applied to the parachutist is equal to zero ( because both force acts in opposite direction ).

Now by first law of motion :

An object will be in rest or in constant speed unless and until no external force is applied on it .

So, in the question the velocity of the parachutist is not changing with time.

Therefore, option b. is correct.

Hence, this is the required solution.

The earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 N/C and directed in toward the c

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

a) The magnitude of the electric charge that a 60-kg human must have to overcome weight is 3.923 coulombs and its sign is negative.

b) The force of repulsion between two people is $13.851\times 10^{6}$ newtons. The use of the earth's electric field a feasible means of flight is not feasible since electric force of repulsion would destroy human body before taking advantage of any possible flight skill.

Explanation:

a) From Second Newton's Law, we form this equation of equilibrium:

$\Sigma F = F_{E}-W = 0$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$F_{E}$ - Electrostatic force exerted on human, measured in Newton.

$W$ - Weight of the human, measured in Newton.

If we consider that human can be represented as a particle and make use of definitions of electric field and weight, the previous equation is expanded and electric charge is cleared afterwards:

$q\cdot E-m\cdot g = 0$

$q = \frac{m\cdot g}{E}$ (Eq. 2)

$E$ - Electric field, measured in Newtons per Coloumb.

$m$ - Mass, measured in kilograms.

$g$ - Gravity acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$q$ - Electric charge, measured in Coulomb.

As electric field of the Earth is directed in toward the center of the planet, that is, in the same direction of gravity, electric field must be a negative value. If we know that $m = 60\,kg$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $E = -150\,\frac{N}{C}$ , the charge that a 60-kg human must have to overcome weight is:

$q = \frac{(60\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}{-150\,\frac{N}{C} }$

$q = -3.923\,C$

The magnitude of the electric charge that a 60-kg human must have to overcome weight is 3.923 coulombs and its sign is negative.

b) The electric force of repulsion between two people with the same charge calculated in part (a) is determined by Coulomb's Law, whose definition we proceed to use:

$F = \kappa \cdot \frac{q^{2}}{r^{2}}$ (Eq. 3)

Where:

$\kappa$ - Electrostatic constant, measured in Newton-square meter per square Coulomb.

$q$ - Electric charge, measured in Coulomb.

$r$ - Distance between two people, measured in meters.

If we know that $\kappa = 9\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}}$ , $q = -3.923\,C$ and $r = 100\,m$ , then the force of repulsion between two people is:

$F = \left(9\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}} \right)\cdot \left[\frac{(-3.923\,C)^{2}}{(100\,m)^{2}} \right]$

$F = 13.851\times 10^{6}\,N$

The force of repulsion between two people is $13.851\times 10^{6}$ newtons. The use of the earth's electric field a feasible means of flight is not feasible since electric force of repulsion would destroy human body before taking advantage of any possible flight skill.

What is the wavelength of a light of frequency 7.21?

erik [133]

MEMORIZED E=h*v h=6.626x10-34J*s INFORMED v=7.21x1014S-1CALCULATE E=h*v E=(6.626x10-34J*s)*(7.21x1014s-1) The "s" cancels out. s-1=1/s so you get s/s so you are left with Solution 4.78 10-19 J OR .478 aJ <span>Apex - 467 nm ^.^ hopefully thats the correct thing</span>

Describe an example where materials are prepared as fluids so that they can be moved easily

den301095 [7]

Answer:

In general solids are easier to transport than liquids, but the above metal example is a valid one and the only other one that comes to mind is that of concrete. It is mixed as a liquid and transported as such, but then sprayed or laid down to dry and form a solid surface or filler.
