Answer:

W = 3.21x10⁻¹¹ J

Explanation:

The work required to separate the plates can be calculated using the following equation:

W = U_{2} - U_{1} = \frac{1}{2}(C_{2}V_{2}^{2} - C_{1}V_{1}^{2})

<u>Where</u>:

U₂: is the final stored energy

U₁: is the initial stored energy

C₂: is the final capacitance

C₁: is the initial capacitance

V₁: is the initial potential difference = 5.00 V

V₂: is the final potential difference

The initial and final capacitance is:

C_{1} = \epsilon_{0}*\frac{A}{d_{1}}

<u>Where</u>:

ε₀: is the vacuum permittivity = 8.85x10⁻¹² C²/(N*m²)

d: is the initial distance = 3.00 mm = 3.00x10⁻³ m    

A: is the plate area = 865 mm² =  8.65x10⁻⁴ m²

C_{1} = \epsilon_{0}*\frac{A}{d_{1}} = 8.85 \cdot 10^{-12} C^{2}/(N*m^{2})*\frac{8.65 \cdot 10^{-4} m^{2}}{3.00 \cdot 10^{-3} m} = 2.55 \cdot 10^{-12} F      

Similarly, C₂ is:

C_{2} = \epsilon_{0}*\frac{A}{d_{2}} = 8.85 \cdot 10^{-12} C^{2}/(N*m^{2})*\frac{8.65 \cdot 10^{-4} m^{2}}{3.00 + 3.00 \cdot 10^{-3} m} = 1.28 \cdot 10^{-12} F

Now, V₂ can be calculated by finding the initial charge (q₁):

q_{1} = C_{1}V_{1} = 2.55 \cdot 10^{-12} F*5.00 V = 1.28 \cdot 10^{-11} C

Since, q₁ is equal to q₂, V₂ is:

V_{2} = \frac{q_{2}}{C_{2}} = \frac{1.28 \cdot 10^{-11} C}{1.28 \cdot 10^{-12} F} = 10 V

Finally, we can find the work:

W = \frac{1}{2}(C_{2}V_{2}^{2} - C_{1}V_{1}^{2}) = \frac{1}{2}(1.28 \cdot 10^{-12} F*(10 V)^{2} - 2.55 \cdot 10^{-12} F(5.00 V)^{2}) = 3.21 \cdot 10^{-11} J

Therefore, the work required to separate the plates is 3.21x10⁻¹¹ J.

I hope it helps you!

A battery of voltage V delivers power P to a resistor of resistance R connected to it. By what factor will the power delivered t
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Power P = V² / R

a ) The resistance is changed to 2.90R

Power will become 1 / 2.9 times .

b )The voltage of the battery is now 2.90V, but the resistance is R

P = (2.9V)² / R

= 8.41 x V² / R

So power becomes 8.41 times

c )The resistance is 2.90R and voltage is 2.90V

Power P = (2.9V)² / 2.9 R

= 2.9 V²/R

So power becomes 2.9 times

d ) The resistance is 2.90R and the voltage is V/2.90

Power P = ( V/2.90)² x 1 / 2.90R

1 / ( 2.9 )³ x V² / R

= 1 / 24.389 x V² / R

So power becomes  1 / 24.389 times .

The time for a sound wave to travel between two people is 0.80 s,
sasho [114]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the below formula

Speed of sound = ( distance between observers) *2/(total time taken)

Now putt the given values ,

time taken = 0.80 sec

distance = 256 m

hence

V of sound= 256*2/0.80

V of sound = 640 m/sec

The following three hot samples have the same temperature. The same amount of heat is removed from each sample. Which one experi
melomori [17]

Complete Question:

The following three hot samples have the same temperature. The same amount of heat is removed from each sample. Which one experiences the smallest drop in temperature, and which one experiences the largest drop? Sample A: 4.0 kg of water [c = 4186 J/(kg·C°)] Sample B: 2.0 kg of oil [c = 2700 J/(kg·C°)] Sample C: 9.0 kg of dirt [c = 1050 J/(kg·C°)]

Answer:

A. Smallest B. Largest.

Explanation:

Assuming no heat exchange except for the heat removed from any sample (which we know is the same for the three ones), and that the process is done using only conduction, we can use the equation that relates the heat lost or gained by one object, with the mass of the object and the consequent change in temperature, as follows:

Q = c*m*ΔT, where c, is a proportionality constant called specific heat, which is different for each material.

As we know that the heat removed is the same for the three samples, we can equate the right sides of the equation for each sample, as follows:

cw*mw*ΔTw = co*mo*ΔTo = cd*md*ΔTd

Replacing by the givens, we have:

4.0 kg. 4,186 J/kgºC*ΔT(ºC) = 2.0 kg*2,700 J/kgºC*ΔT(ºC) =9.0kg*1,050J/kgºC*ΔT(ºC)

As the three expressions must be equal each other, it's clear that the unknown term (the drop in temperature) must compensate the product of the mass times the specific heat.

This product is the following for the three samples:

Water: 4.0 kg*4,186 J/kgºC = 16,744 J/ºC

Oil : 2.0 kg*2,700 J/kgºC    = 5,400 J/ºC

Dirt: 9.0 * 1,050 J/kgºC        = 9,450 J/ºC

Clearly, we see that in order to keep the heat exchange equations equal each other, the water must suffer the smallest drop in temperature, and the oil must experience the largest one.

So, the sample A experiencies the smallest drop in temperature, and sample B does the largest one.
