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

How much heat is released when 35kg of water freezes?
inn [45]
You need an additional point of data here: the enthalpy of fusion, or conversely the enthalpy of melting (they differ only by their sign). For water (or ice) that value is gotten from sources such as the internet

<span>ΔH°(fus) = 6.01 kJ/mole </span>

<span>Since you have 35 000g, how many moles do you have? </span>
<span>Moles H2O = 35000 g/(18.015 g/mole) = 1942.8 moles</span>

<span>So, take that ΔH°(fus) in kJ/mole, multiply by the number of moles, and there ya go! 
</span>
6.01 x 1942.8 = 11,676 kJ of energy is released

Question 4 - If Angelica starts out at 30m/s, and in 16 s speeds up to 84 m/s, what is her acceleration?
Triss [41]

Answer:

C. 3.375 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object can be found using the equation:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time it takes for the velocity to change from u to v

In this problem:

u = 30 m/s is the initial velocity of Angelica

v = 84 m/s is the final velocity

t is the time

Substituting into the equation, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{84-30}{16}=3.375 m/s^2
