A parallel-plate capacitor has a charge Q and plates of area A. What force acts on one plate to attract it toward the other plat

e? Because the electric field between the plates is E 5 Q /Ae0, you might think the force is F 5 QE 5 Q2/Ae0. This conclusion is wrong because the field E includes contributions from both plates, and the field created by the positive plate cannot exert any force on the positive plate. Show that the force exerted on each plate is actually F 5 Q2/2Ae0. Suggestion: Let C 5 e0A/x for an arbitrary plate separation x and note that the work done in separating the two charged plates is W 5 e F dx.

Answer:

F=\dfrac{Q^2x}{2\varepsilon _0A}

Explanation:

Given that

Charge = Q

Area =A

Electric filed =E

We know that

F=\dfrac{dU}{dx}

U=Energy

We know that energy in capacitor given as

U=\dfrac{Q^2}{2C}

C=\dfrac{\varepsilon _oA}{x}

U=\dfrac{Q^2x}{2\varepsilon _0A}

So

Force F

F=\dfrac{Q^2x}{2\varepsilon _0A}

A cylinder 0.170 m in diameter rotates in a lathe at 530 rpm . what is the tangential speed of the surface of the cylinder?
Ad libitum [116K]
Diameter = 0.170 meter
Circumference = 0.170 π meters

530 rpm = 530 circumferences / minute

               =  (530 x 0.170 π meters) / minute

               =      283.06 meter.minute

               =        4.72 meters/second

What is the acceleration of a 349 kg object that moved with a force of 750 N?
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2.15 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

where

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{750}{349}  \\  = 2.14899713...

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.15 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
