A parallel-plate capacitor has a voltage of 391 v applied across its plates, then the voltage source is removed. what is the vol

tage across its plates if the space between them becomes filled with mica? (the dielectric constant for mica is 5.4 and for air is 1.0006.)

When the capacitor is connected to the voltage, a charge Q is stored on its plates. Calling C_0 the capacitance of the capacitor in air, the charge Q, the capacitance C_0 and the voltage (V_0=391 V) are related by

C_0 =\frac{Q}{V_0} (1)


when the source is disconnected the charge Q remains on the capacitor.


When the space between the plates is filled with mica, the capacitance of the capacitor increases by a factor 5.4 (the permittivity of the mica compared to that of the air):

C=k C_0 = 5.4 C_0

this is the new capacitance. Since the charge Q on the plates remains the same, by using eq. (1) we can find the new voltage across the capacitor:

V=\frac{Q}{C}=\frac{Q}{5.4 C_0}

And since Q=C_0 V_0, substituting into the previous equation, we find:

V=\frac{C_0 V_0}{5.4 C_0}=\frac{V_0}{5.4}=\frac{391 V}{5.4}=72.4 V

State the law of conservation of energy​
storchak [24]

Answer:

In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. ... For instance, chemical energy is converted to kinetic energy when a stick of dynamite explodes.

Which statements describe the relationship between the area and the biodiversity of an ecosystem? Check all that apply. Large ec
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

A large area of a forest will likely have higher biodiversity than a smaller area of the same forest.

A half acre of rainforest would likely have greater biodiversity than a full acre of desert.

Explanation:

biodiversity of an ecosystem can be simply explain as the variability that exist in the ecosystem. These are difference that exist between living organism in terms of their habitat, their species and so on. However there exist different relationship between the area of ecosystem and the biodiversity of an ecosystem such that An ecosystem with large area of a forest will likely have higher biodiversity than a smaller area of the same forest.

Another one is that A half acre of rainforest would likely have greater biodiversity than a full acre of desert.

7. A toy car of mass 1.2 kg is driving vertical circles inside a hollow cylinder of radius 2.0m. It is moving at a constant spee
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

a)

N_{top}=9.8N\\N_{bottom}=33.4N

b) v_{min}=4.4m/s

Explanation:

The net force on the car must produce the centripetal acceleration necessary to make this circle, which is a_{cp}=\frac{v^2}{R}. At the top of the circle, the normal force and the weight point downwards (like the centripetal force should), while at the bottom the normal force points upwards (like the centripetal force should) and the weight downwards, so we have (taking the upwards direction as positive):

-m\frac{v^2}{R}=-N_{top}-mg\\m\frac{v^2}{R}=N_{bottom}-mg

Which means:

N_{top}=m\frac{v^2}{R}-mg=(1.2kg)\frac{(6m/s)^2}{2m}-(1.2kg)(9.8m/s^2)=9.8N\\N_{bottom}=m\frac{v^2}{R}+mg=(1.2kg)\frac{(6m/s)^2}{2m}+(1.2kg)(9.8m/s^2)=33.4N

The limit for falling off would be N_{top}=0, so the minimum speed would be:

0=m\frac{v_{min}^2}{R}-mg\\v_{min}=\sqrt{Rg}=\sqrt{(2m)(9.8m/s^2)}=4.4m/s
