A parallel-plate capacitor in air has a plate separation of 1.25 cm and a plate area of 25.0 cm2. The plates are charged to a po

tential difference of 244 V and disconnected from the source. The capacitor is then immersed in distilled water. Assume that distilled water is an insulator.
(a) What is the charge on the plates before immersion?
What is the charge on the plates after immersion?
(b) What is the capacitance after immersion?
What is the potential difference after immersion?

(c) What is the change in energy of the capacitor?

Answer:

(a) Since net charge remains same,after immersion Q is same

(b) I. 14.56pF ii. 3.05V

(c) ΔU = 5.204nJ

Explanation:

a)

C = kεA/d

k=1 for air

ε is 8.85x10-12F/m

A = .0025m2

d = .125m

C = 8.85x10-12x.0025/.125 = 1.77x10-13F = 0.177pF

Q = CV = .177pF * 244V = 43.188pC

Since net charge remains same,after immersion Q is same

b)

C = kεA/d, for distilled water k is approx. 80

Cwater = Cair x k

=0.177pF x 80 = 14.16pF

Q is same and C is changed V=Q/c holds. where Q is still 43.188pC and C is now 14.16pF, so V = 43.188pC/14.16pF = 3.05V

c) Change in energy: ΔU = Uwater - Uair

Uwater = Q2/2C = (43.188)2/2x.177pF = 5.27nJ

Uair = Q2/2C = (43.188)2/2x14.16pF = 0.066nJ

ΔU = 5.204nJ

The energy of an onject as it is in motion is defined as?
Ivan

The energy of an object as it is in motion is defined as Kinetic energy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The energy that is attained by an object when it is moving is called as Kinetic energy. It is the amount of energy that is essential for inducing an acceleration in an object and making it to displace from its idle position to the destination. When an object attains the acceleration it can have this kinetic energy until there is a change in the speed of the object with which it moves.

The forms of energy changes and it can take any form like thermal, electrical, electromagnetic,etc. Potential and kinetic energy are the two things under which these forms are energy are grouped. There can be a transferring of Kinetic energy from one object to another. The kinetic energy can also take any form of energy.

Si tu velocidad al caminar es 0,3 m/s. Determina el tiempo que demorarias en llegar al sol en horas (REALIZAR TRANSFORMACIÓN DE
Contact [7]

Answer:

138,516,546.9 horas.

Explanation:

Tenemos que usar la ecuación:

Velocidad = distancia/tiempo

Acá tenemos:

Velocidad = 0.3m/s

distancia = 149597870700 m

y queremos resolver la ecuación para el tiempo:

0.3m/s =  149597870700m/tiempo.

tiempo =  149597870700m/(0.3m/s) = 498,659,569,000 s

y sabemos que una hora tiene 3600 segundos, entonces si queremos transformar de segundos a horas tenemos:

498,659,569,000 s = (498,659,569,000/3600) h = 138,516,546.9 horas.

Star a has an absolute magnitude of 8. what is its apparent magnitude at a distance of 100 pc
tresset_1 [31]
From the definition of apparent magnitude, we know that:
m_{1} - m_{2} = -2.5Log( \frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}} )
where:
m = apparent magnitude
F = corresponding flux

We also know that the flux is given by the formula:
F =  \frac{L}{4 \pi  d^{2} }
where:
L = luminosity
d = distance

Therefore:
\frac{F_{1} }{F_{2}} = (\frac{L_{1} }{4 \pi d_{1}^{2} })(\frac{4 \pi d_{2}^{2} }{L_{2} }) \\ =  \frac{L_{1}d_{2}^{2}}{L_{2}d_{1}^{2}}

Now, let's apply these formulae to the same star (therefore, same luminosity), using apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude (which is defined as the apparent magnitude the star would have if it were at a distance of 10pc):
m - M = 2.5 Log ( \frac{d}{10pc})^{2}

Now, let's solve for m:
m = M + 2.5 Log ( \frac{d}{10})^{2}
= <span>8 + 2.5 Log ( \frac{100}{10})^{2}</span>
= 13

Hence, the apparent magnitude of the star would be m = +13
