Answer:

1. increase

2. remain the same

3. increases

4. decreases

5. remain the same

6. increases

7. decreases

8. remain the same

Explanation:

a. the formula for the capacitance of a capacitor relating the capacitor and the dielectric material is express as

C=e_oA/d........equation 1

also the capacitance and the charge is related as

Q=CV.......equation 2

from equation 1 as the dielectric material is introduced, the capacitance increases, the charge also increases

2. from the equation as the dielectric material is introduced, the capacitance increases, the electric potential also remain the same

3. from

C=e_oA/d........equation 1

we conclude that the capacitance increases

4. the voltage between the plates decreases

5. the charge remain the same because capacitance is constant

6. the capacitance increases

7. the electric potential decreases

8. remain the same

Answer 1: the charge on the plates will increase

Explanation: placing a dielectric between two charged plate increases its capacitance

C = Q/V,

If the plates remain connected then the voltage remains the same.

Therefore for an increase in capacitance charge will increase.

Answer 2: electric field potential remains the same.

Explanation: if the plates are disconnected, charge on plates remains contant while voltage varies with change in distance, electric field intensity remains constant and this is proportional to the electric potential energy.

Answer 3: capacitance increases

Explanation: introducing a dielectric between two plates causes opposite charges to be induced on the faces of the dielectric. This also reduces the p.d across the capacitor.

Answer 4: voltage remains constant.

Explanation: A connected plate has a constant voltage across its field.

Answer 5: charge remains contant.

Explanation: capacitance will increase with introduction of dielectric, p.d across the plates will drop, the charge will remain constant.

Answer 6: capacitance increases

Explanation: placing a dielectric between plates always increase the capacitance.

Answer 7: electric potential energy falls.

Answer 8: voltage between plates decreases

Francium decays with a half-life of 22 minutes. If we start out with 639 mg of francium,how much would remain after 2.7 hours?
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

3.87 or 3.9 mg

Explanation:

2.7h * 60mins = 162mins

number of 1/2 lives = 162/22= 7.364

amount remaining = 639(1/2)^7.364 = 3.8796

answer = 3.87 or 3.9

A mechanic has a wrench where the hand grip is 0.40 m from the axis of the bolt. To apply a torque of 170 N m with this wrench w
Grace [21]

Answer:

4.3 * 10 N

Explanation:

To calculate torque, we multiply the distance from the pivot by the perpendicular (the part of the force that acts at right angles to the displacement vector) component of the force to the displacement vector from the pivot.

torque  = distance from pivot *  perpendicular force

170 Nm= 0.4 m * F

F = 425 N = 4.3 * 10 N rounded off to two significant figures

A 0.2 kg plastic cart and a 20 kg lead cart both roll without friction on a horizontal surface. Equal forces are used to push bo
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Equal

Explanation:

The impulse theorem states that the impulse exerted on each cart is equal to the change in momentum of the cart:

I=\Delta p=p_f -p_i

where

I is the impulse

pf is the final momentum

pi is the initial momentum

The impulse is equal to the product between the force applied and the contact time:

I=F\Delta t

In this case, the force applied to the two carts (F) is the same, and the contact time (\Delta t) is the same as well. Therefore, the impulse exerted on the two carts is the same.

Moreover, the initial momentum of the two carts is also the same (zero, because they start from rest: p_i=0). So the formula becomes

p_f = I

And since I is the same for the two carts, the final momentum (p_f) will also be equal.

Ou drag your feet on a carpeted floor on a dry day and the carpet acquires a net positive charge. a. Will you have an electron d
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

1) We will have excess of electrons

2) The number of electrons transferred equals 1.343\times 10^{10}

Explanation:

Part a)

Since we know that the charge transfer occurs by the transfer of electrons only as it is given that the carpet has acquired a positive charge it means that it has lost some of the electron's since electrons are negatively charged and if a neutral body looses negative charge it will become positively charged. The electron's that are lost by the carpet will be acquired by the feet of the human thus making us negatively charged.Hence we will gain electrons making us excess in electrons.

Part b)

From charge quantinization principle we have

Q=ne

where

Q = charge of body

n = no of electrons

e = fundamental charge

Applying values in the above equation we get

2.15\times 10^{-9}C=n\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}C\\\\\therefore n=\frac{2.15\times 10^{-9}C}{1.6\times 10^{-19}C}=1.343\times 10^{10}
