Suppose that we have a 1000pF parallel-plate capacitor with air dielectric charged to 1000V. The capacitor terminals are open ci

rcuited.
Find the stored energy. If the plates are moved farther apart so that d is doubled, determine the new voltage on the capacitor and the new stored energy.

Where did the extra energy come from?

Please show all workings & calculations on how you came to your answer.

Answer:

W = 1 mJ

V_new = 2000 V

W_new = 2 mJ

The extra energy came from the work done from moving the plates

Explanation:

We are given;

Capacitance; C = 1000pF = 10^(-9) F

Voltage; V = 1000V

Now,formula for stored energy in a parallel plate capacitor is given by;

W = (1/2)CV² = (1/2)(10^(-9))(1000²) = 0.5 mJ

However, in this case, it's W = 0.5 x 2 = 1 mJ since parallel-plate capacitor with air dielectric

When plates are moved and distance between plates is doubled(net charge is the same), thus we can calculate voltage from;

Q = CV

Since, C_new = C/2

Thus,

Q = (C/2)V_new

V_new = 2Q/C

Thus, V_new = 2V

Thus, V_new = 2 x 1000 = 2000 V

Now,

W_new = (1/2)C_new•(V_new)² = (1/2) (0.5C)•(2V)² = CV² = 2W = 2 x 1 = 2mJ

Compute the fundamental natural frequency of the transverse vibration of a uniform beam of rectanqular cross section, with one e

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The natural angular frequency of the rod is 53.56 rad/sec

Explanation:

Since the beam is free at one end and fixed at the other hence the beam is a cantilevered beam as shown in the attached figure

We know that when a unit force is placed at the end of a cantilever the displacement of the free end is given by

$\Delta x=\frac{PL^3}{3EI}$

Hence we can write

$P=\frac{3EI\cdot \Delta x}{L^3}$

Comparing with the standard spring equation $F=kx$ we find the cantilever analogous to spring with $k=\frac{3EI}{L^3}$

Now the angular frequency of a spring is given by

$\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

where

'm' is the mass of the load

Thus applying values we get

$\omega _{beam}=\sqrt{\frac{\frac{3EI}{L^{3}}}{Area\times density}}$

$\omega _{beam}=\sqrt{\frac{\frac{3\times 20.5\times 10^{10}\times \frac{0.1\times 0.3^3}{12}}{5.9^{3}}}{0.3\times 0.1 \times 7830}}=53.56rad/sec$

SB-4 Which one of the following is true about red buoys under the U.S. Aids to Navigation System?

stich3 [128]

Question:

1. Some are known as "nun" buoys

2. They are labeled with odd numbers

3. If it is lighted, the light color is green

4. Some are known as "can" buoys

Answer:

The correct option is;

1. Some are known as "nun" buoys

Explanation:

Based on the lateral system, on the starboard side, one can find the red even numbered marks while the odd-numbered, green, marks are located on the port side of a channel such that the buoy numbers increase as a vessel travels upstream.

The red buoys are cones shaped in appearance and have triangular reflective sign markings embossed and they are of different types included in the order of lower water depth

1. NUN buoy

2. Lighted buoy

3. Light

4. Day beacon

Therefore, the correct option is 1. Some are known as "NUN" buoys.

If you detect that something’s wrong while lowering a lift, you should try to get the vehicle down as fast as possible

Rashid [163]

False, it depends on the situation. If the lift is tilting or anything like I would then get down. Certain training will say to get out and see if you can keep lowering,

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The electrical power is 96.5 W/m^2

Explanation:

The energy balance is:

Ein-Eout=0

$qe+\alpha sGs+\alpha skyGsky-EEb(Ts)-qc=0$

if:

Gsky=oTsky^4

Eb=oTs^4

qc=h(Ts-Tα)

$\alpha s=\frac{\int\limits^\alpha _0 {\alpha l Gl} \, dl }{\int\limits^\alpha _0 {Gl} \, dl }$

$\alpha s=\frac{\int\limits^\alpha _0 {\alpha lEl(l,5800 } \, dl }{\int\limits^\alpha _0 {El(l,5800)} \, dl }$

if Gl≈El(l,5800)

$\alpha s=(1-0.2)F(0-2)+(1-0.7)(1-F(0-2))$

lt= 2*5800=11600 um-K, at this value, F=0.941

$\alpha s=(0.8*0.941)+0.3(1-0.941)=0.77$

The hemispherical emissivity is equal to:

$E=(1-0.2)F(0-2)+(1-0.7)(1-F(0-2))$

lt=2*333=666 K, at this value, F=0

$E=0+(1-0.7)(1)=0.3$

The hemispherical absorptivity is equal to:

$qe=EoTs^{4}+h(Ts-T\alpha )-\alpha sGs-\alpha oTsky^{4}=(0.3*5.67x10^{-8}*333^{4})+10(60-20)-(0.77-600)-(0.3*5.67x10^{-8}*233^{4})=96.5 W/m^{2}$
