Answer: 3978 pF

Explanation:

Capacitance can be defined as ability to store charge. It is the ratio of charge  over electric potential.

C =\epsilon_o \frac{A}{d}

where, A is the area of the plates and d is the distance between plates forming the capacitor.

diameter of the plates, di = 15 cm =0.15 m

radius of the plate, r = di/2 = 0.075 m

Area of the plates, A = πr² = 0.018 m²

Distance between the plates, d = 0.04 mm = 0.00004 m

Permittivity, ∈₀ = 8.84 × 10⁻¹² F/m

Capacitance, C = 8.84 \times 10^{-12} F/m \times \frac{0.018 m^2}{0.00004 m} = 3978 \times 10^{-12} F = 3978 pF

Earth-orbiting astronauts feel weightless in space because _____. Choose all that apply. 1 point They are in free-fall motion. T
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

They are in free-fall motion.

Explanation:

The Earth orbiting astronauts are falling at an acceleration that is the same or greater than the acceleration due to gravity i.e., 9.81 m/s². If you are continuously falling at this rate then you will feel weightless.

This same effect is felt while going down in an elevator. When you down in an elevator you feel that you are lighter and feel that something is pushing you up. Earth-orbiting astronauts feel the same effect but the accelration is greater hence they feel weightless.

Why don't we feel pressure exerted by atmosphere?
ozzi
Crushing pressure. Human bodies are used to air pressure. The air pressure in our lungs, ears and stomachs is the same as the air pressure outside of our bodies, which ensures that we don't get crushed. Our bodies are also flexible enough to cope when the internal and external pressures aren't exactly the same.
