Answer:

a. V = (a - b)d/2ε₀ b. 2ε₀A/d

Explanation:

a. The potential difference between the plates

Using Gauss' law, we first find the electric field between the plates

ε₀∫E.dA = Q where Q = charge enclosed, E = electric field

Now Q = [a +(-b)]A = (a - b)A where + a and -b are the surface charge densities of the plates and A is the area of the plates.

ε₀∫E.dA = Q

ε₀∫EdAcos0 + ε₀∫EdAcos0 = (a - b)A

ε₀E∫dA + ε₀E∫dA = (a -b)A

ε₀EA + ε₀EA = (a -b)A

2ε₀EA = (a -b)A

E = (a - b)/2ε₀

We now find the potential difference, V between the plates from

V = ∫E.dl

V =E∫dl

V = Ed  where ∫dl = d the distance between the plates.

V = (a - b)d/2ε₀

b. The capacitance between them

Capacitance C = Q/V

= (a - b)A ÷ (a - b)d/2ε₀

= 2ε₀A/d

0.0884 moles of a diatomic gas
Sloan [31]

Answer:

W = - 118.24 J (negative sign shows that work is done on piston)

Explanation:

First, we find the change in internal energy of the diatomic gas by using the following formula:

\Delta\ U = nC_{v}\Delta\ T

where,

ΔU = Change in internal energy of gas = ?

n = no. of moles of gas = 0.0884 mole

Cv = Molar Specific Heat at constant volume = 5R/2 (for diatomic gases)

Cv = 5(8.314 J/mol.K)/2 = 20.785 J/mol.K

ΔT = Rise in Temperature = 18.8 K

Therefore,

\Delta\ U = (0.0884\ moles)(20.785\ J/mol.K)(18.8\ K)\\\Delta\ U = 34.54\ J

Now, we can apply First Law of Thermodynamics as follows:

\Delta\ Q = \Delta\ U + W

where,

ΔQ = Heat flow = - 83.7 J (negative sign due to outflow)

W = Work done = ?

Therefore,

-83.7\ J = 34.54\ J + W\\W = -83.7\ J - 34.54\ J\\

<u>W = - 118.24 J (negative sign shows that work is done on piston)</u>

What is the conclusion of coin and feather experiment? ​
valina [46]

Answer:

So the conclusion is that in presence of air net force acting downward reduces for feather and hence falls slower than coin. But in absence of air resistance, net downward force is just equal to force due to gravity which is same for both coin and feather and hence they fall down at the same rate.

An object, initially at rest, moves 250 m in 17 s. What is its acceleration?
mash [69]

Answer:

1.73 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Δx = 250 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

t = 17 s

Find: a

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

250 m = (0 m/s) (17 s) + ½ a (17 s)²

a = 1.73 m/s²

On average, how many stars would we have to search before we would expect to hear a signal? assume there are 500 billion stars i
Keith_Richards [23]

We would have to search at least 5,000,000,000 (5 billion) stars before we would expect to hear a signal.

To find out the number of stars that we will need to search to find a signal, we need to use the following formula:

  • total of stars/civilizations
  • 500,000,000,000 (500 billion) stars / 100 civilization = 5,000,000,000 (5 billion)

This shows it is expected to find a civilization every 5 billion stars, and therefore it is necessary to search at least 5 billion stars before hearing a signal from any civilization.

Note: This question is incomplete; here is the complete question.

On average, how many stars would we have to search before we would expect to hear a signal? Assume there are 500 billion stars in the galaxy.

Assuming 100 civilizations existed.
