A parallel-plate capacitor with plates of area 360 cm2 is charged to a potential difference V and is then disconnected from the

voltage source. When the plates are moved 0.8 cm farther apart, the voltage between the plates increases by 100 V. What is the charge Q on the positive plate of the capacitor?

Answer:

Q=3.9825\times 10^{-9} C

Explanation:

We are given that a parallel- plate capacitor is charged to a potential difference V and then disconnected from the voltage source.

1 m =100 cm

Surface area =S=\frac{360}{10000}=0.036 m^2

\Delta d=0.8 cm=0.008 m

\Delta V=100 V

We have to find the charge Q on the positive plates of the capacitor.

V=Initial voltage between plates

d=Initial distance between plates

Initial Capacitance of capacitor

C=\frac{\epsilon_0 S}{d}

Capacitance of capacitor after moving plates

C_1=\frac{\epsilon_0 S}{(d+\Delta d)}

V=\frac{Q}{C}

Potential difference between plates after moving

V=\frac{Q}{C_1}

V+\Delta V=\frac{Q}{C_1}

\frac{Qd}{\epsilon_0S}+100=\frac{Q(d+\Delta d)}{\epsilon_0S}

\frac{Q(d+\Delta d)}{\epsilon_0 S}-\frac{Qd}{\epsilon_0S}=100

\frac{Q\Delta d}{\epsilon_0 S}=100

\epsilon_0=8.85\times 10^{-12}

Q=\frac{100\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 0.036}{0.008}

Q=3.9825\times 10^{-9} C

Hence, the charge on positive plate of capacitor=Q=3.9825\times 10^{-9} C

Which of these best explains why people on Earth cannot see the entire shape of the Milky Way
BartSMP [9]
I believe the answer is A.

Since the Earth is in the Milky Way and not outside it, we cannot see the exact shape of it. Physicists have been able to track and graph the movements of the planets accurately for thousands of years, but that does not mean we know the shape of the entire solar system.<span />

Does someone know how to do math with that equation
mestny [16]

Answer:

f = 5 cm

Explanation:

using the thin lens equation, given as follows:

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{d_{o}}+\frac{1}{d_{i}}\\

where,

f = focal length = ?

do = the distance of object from lens = 20 cm

di = the distance of image from lens = 6.6667 cm

Therefore,

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{20\ cm}+\frac{1}{6.6667\ cm}\\\\\frac{1}{f} =  0.199999\ cm^{-1}\\\\f = \frac{1}{0.199999\ cm^{-1}}\\\\

<u>f = 5 cm</u>

How to use kinetic energy to calculate velocity
BartSMP [9]

As we know the formula of kinetic energy is

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

here given that

KE = 150,000 J

mass = 120 kg

we can use this to find speed

150,000 = \frac{1}{2} * 120 * v^2

v^2 = 2500

v = 50 m/s

So speed of above object is 50 m/s
