Each plate of a parallel‑plate capacitor is a square of side 3.63 cm, and the plates are separated by 0.473 mm. The capacitor is

NARA [144]

Answer:

E= 55.53 x 10³ V/m

Explanation:

Given that

a= 3.63 cm

Area ,A= a²

distance ,d= 0.473 mm

Stored energy ,U = 8.49 nJ

Value of capacitor given as

$C=\dfrac{\varepsilon _oA}{d}$

By putting the values

$C=\dfrac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 3.63^2\times 10^{-4}}{0.473\times 10^{-3}}$

C=2.46 x 10⁻¹¹ F

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}CV^2$

V=Voltage difference

$V=\sqrt{\dfrac{2U}{C}}$

$V=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 8.49\times 10^{-9}}{2.46\times 10^{-11}}}$

V=26.27 V

V= E d

E=Electric filed

26.27 = E x 0.473 x 10⁻³

E= 55.53 x 10³ V/m

A Ford Mustang weighs about 3500 pounds, and can accelerate from 0-60 MPH in about 5 seconds. What force is responsible for this

Hunter-Best [27]

We will apply the concepts related to Newton's second law. At the same time we will convert everything to the system of international units.

$m = 3500lb = 1587.57kg$

The values of the velocities are,

$\text{Initial Velocity} = V_i = 0$

$\text{Final Velocity} = V_f = 60mph = 26.822m/s$

We know that the acceleration is equivalent to the change of the speed in a certain time therefore

$a = \frac{v_f-v_i}{t}$

$a = \frac{26.822-0}{5}$

$a = 5.36m/s^2$

Now applying the Newton's second law we have,

$F= ma$

$F = (1587.57)(5.36)$

$F = 8516.36N$

Therefore the approximate magnitude is 8516.36N
