A 70 pF capacitor and a 280 pF capacitor are both charged to 3.6 kV. They are then disconnected from the voltage source and are

connected together, positive plate to positive plate and negative plate to negative plate.

Answer:

0.636 kJ

Explanation:

The charge on any capacity, q = CV, thus,

The initial charge on the 70 pF capacitor is

q = Cv

q = 70*10^-12 * 3.6*10^3

q = 2.52*10^-7 C

The charge on the 280 pF capacitor is q = C*v

q = 280*10^-12 * 3.6*10^3

q = 1.008x10^-6 C

When they are connected as stated, the net total charge remaining will be 1.008*10^-6 - 2.52*10^-7 = 7.56*10^-7 C

Since the capacitors are in parallel, the equivalent capacitance will be 70 + 280 pF = 350 pF

Remember, q = CV, then V = q/C

V = 7.56*10^-7 C / 350*10^12 F

V = 2160 V

b) The energy before is 1/2 C*v²

E = 1/2 * 70*10^-12 * 3600² + 1/2 * 280*10^-12 * 3600²

E = 4.536*10^-4 J + 1.814*10^-3 J

E = 2.268 kJ

The energy After is 1/2 Cv²

E = 1/2 * 70*10^-12 * 2160² + 1/2 * 280*10^-12 * 2160²

E = 3.266*10^-4 J + 1.306*10^-3 J

E = 1.632 kJ

so the loss is 2.268 - 1.632 = 0.636 kJ

a) A Kuiper Belt Object orbits the Sun with an average orbital distance of 40 AU. What is its orbital period? Round your answer
denpristay [2]

Answer:

253 years

Explanation:

a = Distance in Astronomical units from the sun = 40 AU

P = Orbital period in years

From Kepler's law we have

P^2=a^3

\Rightarrow P^2=40^3

\Rightarrow P^2=64000

\Rightarrow P=\sqrt{64000}

\Rightarrow P=252.982212813

\Rightarrow P\approx 253\ years

The orbital period of the Kuiper belt object is 253 years.

( Apply Concepts ) Nome , Alaska, lies at 64°N latitude. San Diego , California , lies at 32°N latitude. Which city receives mor
tatyana61 [14]
If your asking about the total amount of time the sun is visible, it will be equal over the course of a year. In Nome, Alaska, it will be daylight almost 24 hours a day in the summer and be dark almost 24 hours a day in the winter. In San Diego they are much closer to the equator and will receive sunlight roughly the same amount each day all year long. In the end these times will add up to the same amount.

However if you are asking about intensity of sun light received, San Diego will get considerably more since its near the equator and its getting almost direct sunlight. In Nome, the sunlight is hitting the earth at an angle so fewer rays of light are hitting the ground per square foot.

Can a body have zero velocity and finite acceleration?Explain​
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Kinda? Depends what the question is fully asking

Explanation:

Acceleration is a change in velocity. So I guess if the velocity of something is -2 m/s and its positively accelerating at a value of +1 m/s, then that means every second its velocity changes by +1m/s.

So that -2 m/s thing after one second will be going -1 m/s.

After another second it'll be going 0 m/s.

After another itll be going +1 m/s and so on.

So at one point for a brief moment, it can have an acceleration but be at 0 m/s velocity.
