Oscilloscopes have parallel metal plates inside them to deflect the electron beam. These plates are called the deflecting plates

. Typically, they are squares 3.0 cm on a side and separated by 5.0 mm, with very thin air in between.
What is the capacitance of these deflecting plates and hence of the oscilloscope. (This capacitance can sometimes have an effect on the circuit you are trying to study and must be taken into consideration in your calculations.)

Answer:

The capacitance of the deflecting plates is C=1.59 pF.

Explanation:

The expression for the capacitance of the capacitor in terms of area and distance is as follows;

C=\frac{\varepsilon _{0}A}{d}

Here, C is the capacitance, A is the area, d is the distance and \varepsilon _{0} is the absolute permittivity.

Convert the side of the square from cm to m.

s= 3.0 cm

s= 0.030 m

Calculate the area of the square.

A= s_^{2}

Put s= 0.030 m.

A=(0.030)_^{2}

A=9\times10^{-4}m^{-2}

Convert distance from mm to m.

d= 5.0 mm

d=5\times10^{-3}m

Calculate the capacitance of the deflecting plates.

C=\frac{\varepsilon _{0}A}{d}

Put d=5\times10^{-3}m, A=9\times10^{-4}m^{-2} and \varepsilon _{0}=8.85\times 10^{-12}Fm^{-1}.

C=\frac{(8.85\times 10^{-12})(9\times10^{-4})}{5\times10^{-3}}

C=1.59\times 10^{-12}F

C=1.59 pF

Therefore, the capacitance of the deflecting plates is C=1.59 pF.

A student was trying to find the relationship between mass and force. He placed four different masses on a table and pulled them
Gwar [14]

Answer:

B. There is a direct proportion between the mass and force listed in the table.

Explanation:

From the table, the values of force increases with increase in the value of mass.

if 5kg=25 N

Finding the contant of proportionality k;

k=25/5=5

thus M=k(F)...........where M is mass in kg and F is force in newton, then

M=5F

This show that for every value of mass, we get the value of Force if we multiply by a contant k=5

This means there is a direct proportionality relation between mass and force in the table.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Modern racism

Explanation:

Modern racism emanates from an aggressive prejudicial behavior to a more subtle prejudicial behavior. This subtle prejudicial behavior advanced to a degree that is much more difficult to see, yet is regarded as more severe. The modern form of racism is the workplace. Although many companies promise an equal opportunity, there is little doubt that everyone is treated equally within their place of work. Subtle, modern racism is believed to create an image that seems more politically correct. The politically correct way to discriminate is through a "polite" form of racism. In the past racism was easily defined and institutional

Modern racism is among the most widespread forms of verbally expressed negative racial attitudes in the United States .

What is the density of 18.0-karat gold that is a mixture of 18 parts gold, 5 parts silver, and 1 part copper? (These values are
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Density of 18.0-karat gold mixture is 15.58 g/cm^3.

Explanation:

A mixture of 18 parts gold, 5 parts silver, and 1 part copper.

Let mass of gold be 18x

Let the mass of silver be 5x

Let the mass of copper be 1x

The density of gold = 19.32g/cm^3

The density of silver = 10.1g/cm^3

The density of copper =8.8g/cm^3

Volume=\frac{Mass}{Density}

Volume of the gold in the mixture = V_1=\frac{18x}{19.32 g/cm^3}

Volume of the silver in the mixture = V_2=\frac{5x}{10.1 g/cm^3}

Volume of the copper in the mixture = V_3=\frac{1x}{8.8 g/cm^3}

Mass of the mixture = M = 18x+5x+1x =24x

Volume of the mixture = V_1+V_2+V_3

Density of the mixture:

\frac{M}{V_1+V_2+V_3}=15.58 g/cm^3

A 4350 kg truck, driving 7.39 m/s, runs into the back of a stationary car. After the collision, the truck moves 4.55 m/s and the
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Mass of car = 1098 kg

Explanation:

Here law of conservation of momentum is applied.

Let mass of car be m.

Initial momentum = Final momentum.

Initial momentum = 4350 x 7.39 + m x 0 = 32416.5 kgm/s

Final momentum = 4350 x 4.55 + m x 11.5 = 19792.5+11.5m

We have

      19792.5+11.5m = 32416.5

        m = 1097.97 kg

Mass of car = 1098 kg
