An empty capacitor is connected to a 12.0 V battery and charged up. The capacitor is then disconnected from the battery, and a s

lab of dielectric material (dielectric constant "k" = 2.8) is inserted between the plates. Find the amount by which the potential difference accross the plates changes. Specify whether the change is an increace or a decreace.

Answer:

7.71 V

Explanation:

When the charge remains constant, the potential difference decrease by the factor of the dielectric constant K

V new = V initial / K = 12 V / 2.8 = 4.29 V

ΔV ( change in potential) = V initial - V new ( after dielectric has been added) = 12 V - 4.29 V =      7.71 V

The potential difference decreases by 7.71 V

A box with the mass of 20 kg at 5 m is lifted to 20 m. How much work was 7 points<br> done?
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

2,900\: \mathrm{J}

Explanation:

Work is given by the equation W=F\Delta x where F is force and \Delta x is displacement.

Displacement is defined as change in position. In this case, the box moves from 5m to 20m. Its displacement is 20-5=15\:\mathrm{m}.

The force acting on the box is the force of gravity, given as F_g=mg.

Therefore, the total work done is:

W=F\Delta x=mg\Delta x = 20\cdot 9.81\cdot 15=2,943=\fbox{$2,900\:\mathrm{J}$}(two significant figures).

Using examples, explain why the first and second Newton laws of motion are significant for living organisms.
Triss [41]

Answer:

1) Newton's first law of motion states an object will remain at rest or in uniform will be in uniform motion in a straight line unless a force acts on it

2) Newton's second law states the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the applied force acting on an object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object

Explanation:

1) With Newton's first law, we are able arrange things within a space and schedule meetings in time knowing that they will remain in place unless an external force changes their positions

2) An example of Newton's second law of motion is that small objects such as a ball are easily accelerated and can be given appreciable acceleration for flight by single, one time contact (such as kicking the ball) while larger objects such as a rock require sustained force application to change their location.
