-- If the system is 'closed', then nothing ... including energy ... can get in or out, and the total energy inside has to be constant.

If half of the energy in the system starts out as potential energy and the rest starts out as kinetic, and then the potential energy increases, there's only one place the increase could have come from ... it could only have been converted from kinetic energy. So the kinetic energy in the system must decrease.

In fact, this isn't even a "result". The kinetic energy has to decrease before the potential energy can increase, because that's where the increase has to come from.

If the system is 'open', then energy can come in and go out. If the potential energy inside suddenly increases, we don't know where it came from, so we can't say anything about what happens to the system.

The rectangular plates in a parallel-plate capacitor are 0.063 m x 5.4 m. A distance of 3.5 x 10^-5m separate the plates. The pl

The capacitance of the capacitor is $1.8\cdot 10^{-9}F$

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by the equation

$C=\frac{k\epsilon_0 A}{d}$

where

k is the dielectric constant of the medium

$\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m$ is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

For the capacitor in this problem, we have:

k = 2.1 is the dielectric constant

$d=3.5\cdot 10^{-5}m$ is the separation between the plates

$A=0.063m \cdot 0.054m = 0.0034 m^2$ (I assumed that 5.4 m is a typo, since it is not a realistic size for the side of the plate)

Therefore, the capacitance of the capacitor is

$C=\frac{(2.1)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(0.0034)}{3.5\cdot 10^{-5}}=1.8\cdot 10^{-9}F$

g determine what frequency is required of a source powering a 100 uf capacitor a 500 ohm resistor and a s50 mH inductor in serie

polet [3.4K]

Answer: $71.16\ Hz$

Explanation:

Given

Capacitance $C=100\ \mu F$

Resistance $R=500\ \Omega$

Inductance $L=50\ mH$

In LCR circuit, current is maximum at resonance frequency i.e.

$X_L=X_C\ \text{and}\ \omega_o=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}$

Insert the values

$\Rightarrow \omega_o=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{50\times 10^{-3}\times 100\times 10^{-6}}}\\\\\Rightarrow \omega_o=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5}\times 10^{-3}}\\\\\Rightarrow \omega_o=0.447\times 10^{3}$

Also, frequency is given by

$\Rightarrow 2\pi f=\omega_o\\\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{\omega_o}{2\pi}$

$\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\times 0.447\times 10^3\\\\\Rightarrow f=71.16\ Hz$

Please help me answer the following question!

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

P = 0

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as the quentity of motion contained in a body. Mathematically, it can be defined as the product of mass and velocity. So, in order to determine the Volkswagen Beetle, at rest, we can use the simple formula, as follows:

where,

P = Momentum of Volkswagen Beetle = ?

m = Mass of Volkswagen Beetle = 750 kg

v = Velocity of Volkswagen Beetle = 0 m/s (since, it is at rest)

Therefore,

P =
