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!

In designing circular rides for amusement parks, mechanical engineers must consider how small variations in certain parameters c
Bess [88]

Answer:

Part a)

dF = -\frac{mv^2}{r^2} dr

Part b)

dF = \frac{2mvdv}{r}

Part c)

dT = - \frac{2\pi r}{v^2} dv

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that force on the passenger while moving in circle is given as

F = \frac{mv^2}{r}

now variation in force is given as

dF = -\frac{mv^2}{r^2} dr

here speed is constant

Part b)

Now if the variation in force is required such that r is constant then we will have

F = \frac{mv^2}{r}

so we have

dF = \frac{2mvdv}{r}

Part c)

As we know that time period of the circular motion is given as

T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}

so here if radius is constant then variation in time period is given as

dT = - \frac{2\pi r}{v^2} dv

A bullet of mass 11 g strikes a ballistic pendulum of mass 1.9 kg. The center of mass of the pendulum rises a vertical distance
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The bullet's initial speed is 243.21 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the bullet, m_b=11\ g=0.011\ kg

Mass of the pendulum, m_p=19\ kg

The center of mass of the pendulum rises a vertical distance of 10 cm.

We need to find the bullet's initial speed if it is assumed that the bullet remains embedded in the pendulum. Let it is v. In this case, the energy of the system remains conserved. The kinetic energy of the bullet gets converted to potential energy for the whole system. So,

\dfrac{1}{2}(m_b+m_p)V^2 =(m_b+m_p)gh\\\\V=\sqrt{2gh} \ .................(1)

V is the speed of the bullet and pendulum at the time of collision

Now using conservation of momentum as :

m_bv=(m_p+m_b)V

Put the value of V from equation (1) in above equation as :

v=\dfrac{(m_p+m_b)}{m_b}\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\dfrac{(1.9+0.011)}{0.011}\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.1}\\\\v=243.21\ m/s

So, the bullet's initial speed is 243.21 m/s.
