Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
Electric field between plates without dielectric,
Electric field between the plates with dielectric, .
Permittivity of free space, =
Now, we will determine the charge density as follows.
=
=
Thus, we can conclude that the charge density on each surface of the dielectric is .
Answer:
a) 10.51 J
b) 3.48 m/s
Explanation:
Given data :
mass of train ( M ) = 2.2 kg
Given initial velocity ( u ) = 1.6 m/s
<u>a) calculating work done by the force over the journey of the train</u>
F = mx + b ------ ( 1 )
m = slope = ( Δ f / Δ x ) = 2.8 / -7.5 = - 0.373 N/m
x = distance travelled on the x axis by the train = 7.5 m
F = force experienced by the train = 2.8 N
x = 0
∴ b = 2.8
hence equation 1 can be written as
F = ( -0.373) x + 2.8 ----- ( 2 )
hence to determine the work done by the force
W = Note: the limits are actually 7.5 and 0
∴ W ( work done ) = -10.49 + 21 = 10.51 J
<u>b) calculate the speed of the train at the end of its journey</u>
we will apply the work energy theorem
W = 1/2 m*v^2 - 1/2 m*u^2
∴ V^2 = 2 / M ( W + 1/2 M*u^2 ) ( input values into equation )
V^2 = 12.11
hence V = 3.48 m/s
