There is given an ideal capacitor with two plates at a distance of 3 mm. The capacitor is connected to a voltage source with 12

V until it is loaded completely. Then the capacitor is disconnected from the voltage source. After this the two plates of the capacitor are driven apart until their distance is 5 mm. Now a positive test charge of 1 nC is brought from the positively charged plate to the negatively charges plate. How large is the kinetic energy of the test charge? The test charge of 1 nC can be regarded to be so small that it does not influence the electric field between the two plates of the capacitor.​

Answer:

K = 2 10⁻⁸ J

Explanation:

Let's solve this exercise in parts, we start by finding the charge on each plate of the capacitor

          C = Q / ΔV

           C = ε₀ A / d

          ε₀ A / d = Q / ΔV

          Q = ε₀ A ΔV / d        (1)

indicate the potential difference ΔV₁ = 12 V, the distance between the plates d₁ = 3 mm = 0.003 m,  

as the power supply is disconnected and the capacitor is ideal the charge remains constant

in the second part we separate the plates at d₂ = 5 mm = 0.005 m, using equation 1

          ΔV₂ = \frac{Q d_2}{ \epsilon_o A}

we substitute the equation for Q

         ΔV₂ = \frac{d_2}{\epsilon_o A} \ \frac{\epsilon_o A \Delta V }{d_1}

         ΔV₂ = \frac{d_2}{d_1} \  \Delta V_1

in the third part we use the concepts of energy

starting point. Test charge near positive plate

          Em₀ = U = q ΔV₂

           

final point. Test charge near negative plate

          Em_f = K

energy is conserved

          Em₀ = Em_f

          q ΔV₂ = K

          K = q ΔV₁ \frac{d_2}{d_1}

we calculate

          K = 1 10⁻⁹  12  0.005/0.003

          K = 2 10⁻⁸ J

Twin A makes a one way trip at 0.6c to a star 12 light years away while twin B stays on Earth. Each twin sends the other a signa
hram777 [196]

Answer:

8 signals received by twin A during the trip.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 12 light year

Speed = 0.6 c

Time = 1 year

We need to calculate the time by A

Using formula of time

T=t\sqrt{\dfrac{1+\dfrac{v}{c}}{1-\dfrac{v}{c}}}

Put the value into the formula

T=1\sqrt{\dfrac{1+0.6}{1-0.6}}

T=2\ years

Similarly,

The expression for distance cover by A

D=d\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}

D=12\sqrt{1-(0.6)^2}

D=9.6\ ly

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

t=\dfrac{D}{v}

t=\dfrac{9.6}{0.6}

t=16\ years

We need to calculate the signals received by twin A

Using formula for number of signals

n=\dfrac{t}{T}

Put the value into the formula

n=\dfrac{16}{2}

n=8\ signals

Hence, 8 signals received by twin A during the trip.

When the cylinder is displaced slightly along its vertical axis it will oscillate about its equilibrium position with a frequenc
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

w = √[g /L (½ r²/L2 + 2/3 ) ]

When the mass of the cylinder changes if its external dimensions do not change the angular velocity DOES NOT CHANGE

Explanation:

We can simulate this system as a physical pendulum, which is a pendulum with a distributed mass, in this case the angular velocity is

          w² = mg d / I

In this case, the distance d to the pivot point of half the length (L) of the cylinder, which we consider long and narrow

         d = L / 2

The moment of inertia of a cylinder with respect to an axis at the end we can use the parallel axes theorem, it is approximately equal to that of a long bar plus the moment of inertia of the center of mass of the cylinder, this is tabulated

        I = ¼ m r2 + ⅓ m L2

        I = m (¼ r2 + ⅓ L2)

now let's use the concept of density to calculate the mass of the system

        ρ = m / V

        m = ρ V

the volume of a cylinder is

         V = π r² L

          m =  ρ π r² L

let's substitute

        w² = m g (L / 2) / m (¼ r² + ⅓ L²)

        w² = g L / (½ r² + 2/3 L²)

        L >> r

         w = √[g /L (½ r²/L2 + 2/3 ) ]

When the mass of the cylinder changes if its external dimensions do not change the angular velocity DOES NOT CHANGE

An 8.0 cm object is 40.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 10.0 cm. Its image is 16.0 cm in front of the mirro
svet-max [94.6K]
 We can rearrange the mirror equation before plugging our values in. 
1/p = 1/f - 1/q. 
1/p = 1/10cm - 1/40cm
1/p = 4/40cm - 1/40cm = 3/40cm
40cm=3p  <-- cross multiplication
13.33cm = p

Now that we have the value of p, we can plug it into the magnification equation.

M=-16/13.33=1.2
1.2=h'/8cm
9.6=h'

So the height of the image produced by the mirror is 9.6cm.
