Answer:

Q = 1.35*10⁻¹¹ C.

Explanation:

By definition, the capacitance of a capacitor, is the charge on one of the plates, divided by the potential difference between them, as follows:

C= \frac{Q}{V}

At the same time, we can show (applying Gauss' Law to the surface of one of the plates), that the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor (with a dielectric of air), can be written as follows:

C = ε₀*A / d

Replacing by the values of A, and d, and taking into account that

ε₀ = 8.85*10⁻¹² F/m,

we get the value of the capacitance as follows:

C = 8.97*10⁻¹² F

As the voltage of an AA battery is 1.5 V, and is all applied to the capacitor, we can conclude that the charge on one of the plates is as follows:

Q = C* V = 8.97*10⁻¹² F* 1.5 V = 1.35*10⁻¹¹ C

<h2>Answer:</h2>

13.5 x 10⁻¹² C

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

<em>First let's calculate the capacitance of the parallel plate capacitor.</em>

The capacitance (C) of a capacitor is related to the area(A) of either of the plates of the capacitor and the distance (d) between the  plates as follows;

C = A x ε₀ / d

Where;

ε₀ = permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² F/m

<em>From the question, the following are given;</em>

A = 3.9cm x 3.9cm = 0.039m x 0.039m = 0.001521m²

d = 1.5mm = 0.0015m

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) above to give;</em>

C = 0.001521 x 8.85 x 10⁻¹² / 0.0015

C = 8.97 x 10⁻¹² F

<em>Now, let's calculate the quantity of charge supplied by the battery as follows;</em>

The charge (Q) supplied to a capacitor is the product of its capacitance (C) and the voltage (V) supplied as follows;

Q = C x V

<em>The following are known;</em>

C = 8.97 x 10⁻¹²F

V = 1.5V (Since the voltage on a regular AA battery is 1.5V)

<em>Substitute the values of C and V into equation (ii);</em>

Q = 8.97 x 10⁻¹² x 1.5

Q = 13.5 x 10⁻¹² C

The quantity of charge (Q) supplied to each of the plates is 13.5 x 10⁻¹² C

Stells [14]

Answer:

v = 7.67 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

horizontal distance 11.98 m

Acceleration due to gravity 9.8 m/s^2

Assuming initial velocity is zero

we know that

h = \frac{gt^2}{2}

solving for t

we have

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

substituing all value for time t

t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 11.98}{9.8}}

t = 1.56 s

we know that speed is given as

v = \frac{d}{t}

v =\frac{11.98}{1.56}

v = 7.67 m/s

A 1200 kg car is brought from 25 m/s to 10m/s over a time period of 5 seconds. Determine the force experienced by the car
aleksklad [387]
It's simple.
We know force is the rate of change in momentum.
So F=(mv-mu)/t or F=m(v-u)/t
=1200*(25-10)/5=3600N

Kenneth ran a marathon (26.2 miles) in 5.5 hours. What was Kenneth's average speed? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth.) 0.
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

4.8 mph

Explanation:

From the question,

Average speed = total distance/total time

V = d/t....................... Equation 1

Where d = distance, t = time

Given: d = 26.2 miles, t = 5.5 hours.

Substitute these values into equation 1

V = 26.2/5.5

V = 4.76 mph

V ≈ 4.8 mph
