Answer:

C' = \frac{A\epsilon_{o}}{d - a}

Solution:

As per the question:

Area of the plates is given by 'A'

Separation distance between the plates is 'd'

Now, after insertion of the metal plate with same area 'A' and thickness, a < d

in between the plates, the capacitance of the capacitor changes.

The capacitance of the air capacitor (parallel plate) is generally given by:

C = \frac{A\epsilon_{o}}{d}

where

C = Capacitor's capacitance

\epsilon_{o} = Permittivity of the free space

Now, when the metal slab is inserted the distance is reduced to (d - a)

Thus

C' = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{A\epsilon_{o}}{\frac{d - a}{2}})

C' = \frac{A\epsilon_{o}}{d - a}

Answer:

Time, t = 2 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass, m = 50 kg

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s (since it's starting from rest).

Final velocity, v = 8 m/s

Force, F = 200 N

To find the time, we would use the following formula;

F = \frac {m(v - u)}{t}

Making time, t the subject of formula, we have;

t = \frac {m(v - u)}{F}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

t = \frac {50(8 - 0)}{200}

t = \frac {50*(8)}{200}

t = \frac {400}{200}

Time, t = 2 seconds

How does the science of heat transfer differ from the science of thermodynamics?
mariarad [96]

Answer:

The science of thermodynamics deals with the fundamental laws that guide how physical processes occur in relation with the energy transfer. When a system or process changes from one state of equilibrium to another, thermodynamics is interested with the amount of heat transfer during the process. On the other hand, the science of heat transfer is simply about the rate of heat and temperature distribution inside a system at a particular point in time.

\. A mixture of gases con-tains oxygen, nitrogen, and water vapor. What physical process could you use to remove the water vapor
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Condensation.

Explanation:

The boiling point of water is much higher than that of either nitrogen or oxygen gas . So when the mixture is condensed  to a temperature lower than

100°C , water vapor will come out first in the form of water leaving other

elements of mixture in gaseous phase. In this way, water vapor will get separated from others.
