Consider two parallel plate capacitors. The plates on Capacitor B have half the area as the plates on Capacitor A, and the plate

s in Capacitor B are separated by twice the separation of the plates of Capacitor A. If Capacitor A has a capacitance of CA-17.8nF, what is the capacitance of Capacitor? .

Answer:

CB = 4.45 x 10⁻⁹ F = 4.45 nF

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by the following formula:

C = ε₀A/d

where,

C = Capacitance

ε₀ = Permeability of free space

A = Area of plates

d = Distance between plates

FOR CAPACITOR A:

C = CA = 17.8 nF = 17.8 x 10⁻⁹ F

A = A₁

d = d₁

Therefore,

CA = ε₀A₁/d₁ = 17.8 x 10⁻⁹ F   ----------------- equation 1

FOR CAPACITOR B:

C = CB = ?

A = A₁/2

d = 2 d₁

Therefore,

CB = ε₀(A₁/2)/2d₁

CB = (1/4)(ε₀A₁/d₁)

using equation 1:

CB = (1/4)(17.8 X 10⁻⁹ F)

<u>CB = 4.45 x 10⁻⁹ F = 4.45 nF</u>

What is the kinetic energy of a 200 kg satellite as it follows a circular orbit of radius 8x106m around the earth?
motikmotik
Given the equation for the Speed of a Satellite

v = SqRt{Gravitational Constant}{Mass of Earth} divided by the radius given in your problem

we have:


(square root whole term on right side)

v = G Me
———
r


so. (6.67x10^-11)(5.97x10^24)
___________________
(8.0x10^6)


v = 7055 m/s (which is reasonable)


so utilize the Kinetic Energy Formula


KE = 1/2mv^2


KE = 1/2(200)(7055)^2


KE = 4.977x10^9 J

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

v_{avg} = 0

Explanation:

As we know that average velocity is defined as the ratio of total displacement of the object and its time interval.

so here we can say

v_{avg} = \frac{displacement}{time}

now we know that in one complete revolution the total displacement of the tip of the seconds hand is zero

because it will have same position after one complete revolution from where it starts

so here we can say that the average velocity will be zero

v_{avg} = 0

What is the best use of an atomic model to explain the charge of the particles in thomson's beams
hoa [83]

The best use of an atomic model to explain the charge of the particles in Thomson's beams is:

<u>An atom's smaller negative particles are at a distance from the central positive particles, so the negative particles are easier to remove.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In Thomson's model, an atom comprises of electrons that are surrounded by a group of positive particles to equal the electron's negative particles, like negatively charged “plums” that are surrounded by positively charged “pudding”.

Atoms are composed of a nucleus that consists of protons and neutrons . Electron was discovered by Sir J.J.Thomson. Atoms are neutral overall, therefore in Thomson’s ‘plum pudding model’:

  • atoms are spheres of positive charge
  • electrons are dotted around inside

Thomson's conclusions made him to propose the Rutherford model of the atom where the atom had a concentrated nucleus of positive charge and also large mass.

Hello everyone. This is a question about Dimensional Analysis and I came across this question but I am unable to wrap my head ar
omeli [17]

Answer:

2. [B] = [L]/[T] and [C] = [L]/[T]

Explanation:

I assume you mean this:

A = B² + 2B⁴/C²

Since you can't add numbers with different units (for example, you can't add seconds to meters), each term in the sum must have the same units as A.

B² = [L]²/[T]²

B = [L]/[T]

B⁴/C² = [L]²/[T]²

C²/B⁴ = [T]²/[L]²

C² = B⁴ [T]²/[L]²

C² = ([L]/[T])⁴ [T]²/[L]²

C² = [L]²/[T]²

C = [L]/[T]

Notice we ignore the 2 coefficient, which is unitless.
