The dielectric in a capacitor serves two purposes. It increases the capacitance, compared to an otherwise identical capacitor wi

th an air gap, and it increases the maximum potential difference the capacitor can support. If the electric field in a material is sufficiently strong, the material will suddenly become able to conduct, creating a spark. The critical field strength, at which breakdown occurs, is 3.0 MV/m for air, but 60 MV/m for Teflon.

Answer: 580 x 10^-3 J

Explanation:

0.6mm is 0.6/1000 = 600*10^-6 m

The plate area is .17*.17 = 28.9*10^-3 m^2

Air:

The voltage that can be sustained by 0.60 mm of air dielectric is:

V = 3.0*10^6* 600*10^-6 = 1800 V

The capacitance is:

C = ε*A/d = 8.854*10^-12 * 28.9*10^-3/600*10^-6 = 426*10^-12 F = 426 pF

The energy stored in a capacitor is:

E = (1/2)*C*V^2 = (1/2)*426*10^-12*(1800)^2 = 691*10^-6 J

Teflon:

The voltage is:

V = 60*10^6* 600*10^-6 = 36*10^3 = 36 kV

According to the listed reference, the relative dielectric constant for teflon is 2.1, this figure multiplies the "ε" of free space.

The capacitance is:

C = ε*A/d = 2.1*8.854*10^-12 * 28.9*10^-3/600*10^-6 = 896*10^-12 F = 896 pF

It would have been easier to note that the capacitance is 2.1 times the air-dielectric case.

The maximum energy stored is:

E = (1/2)*C*V^2 = (1/2)* 896*10^-12* (36*10^3)^2 = 580*10^-3 J

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

v = 15.8 m/s

Explanation:

Let's analyze the situation a little, we have a compressed spring so it has an elastic energy that will become part kinetic energy and a potential part for the man to get out of the barrel, in addition there is a friction force that they perform work against the movement.  So the variation of mechanical energy is equal to the work of the fictional force

    W_{fr} = ΔEm = Em_{f} -Em₀

Let's write the mechanical energy at each point

Initial

    Em₀ = Ke = ½ k x²

Final

   Em_{f} = K + U = ½ m v² + mg y

Let's use Hooke's law to find compression

    F = - k x

    x = -F / k

    x = 4400/1100

    x = - 4 m

Let's write the energy equation

    fr d = ½ m v² + mgy - ½ k x²

Let's clear the speed

   v² = (fr d + ½ kx² - mg y) 2 / m

   v² = (40 4.00 + ½ 1100 4² - 60.0 9.8 2.50)   2/60.0

   v² = (160 + 8800 - 1470) / 30

   v = √ (229.66)

   v = 15.8 m/s

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

His launching angle was 14.72°

Explanation:

Please, see the figure for a graphic representation of the problem.

In a parabolic movement, the velocity and displacement vectors are two-component vectors because the object moves along the horizontal and vertical axis.

The horizontal component of the velocity is constant, while the vertical component has a negative acceleration due to gravity. Then, the velocity can be written as follows:

v = (vx, vy)

where vx is the component of v in the horizontal and vy is the component of v in the vertical.

In terms of the launch angle, each component of the initial velocity can be written using the trigonometric rules of a right triangle (see attached figure):

sin angle = opposite / hypotenuse

cos angle = adjacent / hypotenuse

In our case, the side opposite the angle is the module of v0y and the side adjacent to the angle is the module of vx. The hypotenuse is the module of the initial velocity (v0). Then:

sin angle = v0y / v0  then: v0y = v0 * sin angle

In the same way for vx:

vx = v0 * cos angle

Using the equation for velocity in the x-axis we can find the equation for the horizontal position:

dx / dt = v0 * cos angle

dx = (v0 * cos angle) dt (integrating from initial position, x0, to position at time t and from t = 0 and t = t)

x - x0 = v0 t cos angle

x = x0 + v0 t cos angle

For the displacement in the y-axis, the velocity is not constant because the acceleration of the gravity:

dvy / dt = g ( separating variables and integrating from v0y and vy and from t = 0 and t)

vy -v0y = g t

vy = v0y + g t

vy = v0 * sin angle + g t

The position will be:

dy/dt = v0 * sin angle + g t

dy = v0 sin angle dt + g t dt (integrating from y = y0 and y and from t = 0 and t)

y = y0 + v0 t sin angle + 1/2 g t²

The displacement vector at a time "t" will be:

r = (x0 + v0 t cos angle, y0 + v0 t sin angle + 1/2 g t²)

If the launching and landing positions are at the same height, then the displacement vector, when the object lands, will be (see figure)

r = (x0 + v0 t cos angle, 0)

The module of this vector will be the the total displacement (65 m)

module of r = \sqrt{(x0 + v0* t* cos angle)^{2} }  

65 m = x0 + v0 t cos angle ( x0 = 0)

65 m / v0 cos angle = t

Then, using the equation for the position in the y-axis:

y = y0 + v0 t sin angle + 1/2 g t²

0 =  y0 + v0 t sin angle + 1/2 g t²

replacing t =  65 m / v0 cos angle and y0 = 0

0 = 65m (v0 sin angle / v0 cos angle) + 1/2 g (65m / v0 cos angle)²  

cancelating v0:

0 = 65m (sin angle / cos angle) + 1/2 g * (65m)² / (v0² cos² angle)

-65m (sin angle / cos angle) = 1/2 g * (65m)² / (v0² cos² angle)  

using g = -9.8 m/s²

-(sin angle / cos angle) * (cos² angle) = -318.5 m²/ s² / v0²

sin angle * cos angle = 318.5 m²/ s² / (36 m/s)²

(using trigonometric identity: sin x cos x = sin (2x) / 2

sin (2* angle) /2 = 0.25

sin (2* angle) = 0.49

2 * angle = 29.44

<u>angle = 14.72°</u>

You toss a rock up vertically at an initial speed of 39 feet per second and release it at an initial height of 6 feet. The rock
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

2.583 s, 29.77 ft and 1.219 s

Explanation:

Using equation of motion and taken the motion upward as positive, also a = g ( acceleration due to gravity) = - 32 fts⁻², V= 39 fts⁻¹ V₁ is final velocity, y is the distance in ft from the ground

H = 6 ft, the height from which it is tossed

V₁ = V + gt = V - gt

at maximum height the body came to rest momentarily V₁ = 0

0 = V - gt

-V = -gt

- 39 / -32 = t

t time to reach maximum height = 1.219 s

To Maximum height reached can be calculated with the formula

V₁² = V² + 2g( y - H) where H is the initial height reached by the tossed rock

where V₁ is the final velocity at maximum height which = 0

0 = V² - 2g(y-H) where y is the distance traveled from the ground

-V² = -2g(y-H)

₋V² / -2g = y-H

(V²/2g) + H = y in ft

(39² / (2 × 32)) + 6

y = 29.77 ft

The total time it will be in air can be calculated with the formula below

y = H + Vt - 0.5gt² from y-H = ut + 0.5at²

0.5gt² - Vt - H = 0 since the body returned to the ground ( y = 0)

0.5gt² - Vt - H = 0

using quadratic formula

- (-V)² ± √ ((-V²) - 4 × 0.5g × -H) / (2 × 0.5 × g)

(V ± √ (V² + 2gH)) ÷ g

substitute the values into the expression

t = (39 + √(39² + (2×-32× 6)))/ 32 or (39 - √ (39² + (2 × -32×6))/ 32

t = (39 + √(1521 +384))/32 = (39 + √1905) / 32  = 2.583 s

t = (39 - √1905) / 32 =  -0.15 s

The will remain in air (V ± √ (V² + 2gH)) / g seconds. It will reach a maximum height of (V²/2g) + H feet after V/g seconds
