Answer:

ΔL = 3.82 10⁻⁴ m

Explanation:

This is a thermal expansion exercise

ΔL = α L₀ ΔT

ΔT = T_f - T₀

where ΔL is the change in length and ΔT is the change in temperature

Let's reduce the length to SI units

L₀ = 90.5 mm (1m / 1000 mm) = 0.0905 m

let's calculate

ΔL = 25.10⁻⁶ 0.0905 (154.6 - (14.4))

ΔL = 3.8236 10⁻⁴ m

using the criterion of three significant figures

ΔL = 3.82 10⁻⁴ m

Initial momentum = 2 * m v

so if 1 ball popped out with 2 v momentum would be conserved

but the initial kinetic energy of the two balls is

1/2 m v^2 + 1/2 m v^2 = m v^2

But the kinetic energy of one ball with twice the speed would be

KE = 1/2 m (2 v)^2 = 2 m v^2 thus violating conservation of energy

A 5.0-kg object is pulled along a horizontal surface at a constant speed by a 15-n force acting 20° above the horizontal. How mu

puteri [66]

Answer:

84.6 J

Explanation:

The work done by the force is given by

$W=Fd cos \theta$

where

W is the work done

F = 15 N is the force applied

d = 6.0 m is the displacement

$\theta=20^{\circ}$ is the angle between the force's direction and the displacement

Substituting the numbers into the equation, we find

$W=(15 N)(6.0 m)cos 20^{\circ} =84.6 J$

Two circular disks spaced 0.50 mm apart form a parallel-plate capacitor. transferring 1.50 ×109 electrons from one disk to the o

blondinia [14]

The diameter of the disks is 1.32 cm.

If n electrons each of charge e are transferred from one disc to another, calculate the total charge Q transferred from one disc to the other using the expression,

$Q=ne$

Substitute 1.50×10⁹ for n and 1.6×10⁻¹⁹C for e.

$Q=ne\\ =(1.50*10^9)(1.6*10^-^1^9C)\\ =2.4*10^-^1^0C$

The potential difference V between the disks separated by a distance d is given by,

$V=Ed$

here, E is the electric field.

Substitute 2.00×10⁵N/C for E and 0.50×10⁻³m for d.

$V=Ed\\ =(2.00*10^5N/C)(0.50*10^-^3m)\\ =100V$

The capacitance C of the capacitor is given by,

$C=\frac{Q}{V} \\ =\frac{(2.4*10^-^1^0C)}{100V} \\ =2.4*10^-^1^2F$

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by,

$C=\frac{\epsilon_0A}{d}$

Here, ε₀ is the permittivity of free space and A is the area of the disks.

Rewrite the expression for A.

$C=\frac{\epsilon_0A}{d}\\ A=\frac{Cd}{\epsilon_0} \\ =\frac{(2.4*10^-^1^2F)(0.50*10^-^3m)}{(8.85*10^-^1^2C^2/Nm^2)} \\ =1.36*10^-^4m^3$

the area A of the disks is given by,

$A=\frac{\pi D^2}{4} \\ D=\sqrt{\frac{4A}{\pi } }$

Here, D is the diameter of the disk.

$D=\sqrt{\frac{4A}{\pi } }\\ =\sqrt{\frac{4(1.36*10^-^4m^2)}{3.14} } \\ =0.01316m\\ =1.32cm$

The diameter of each disc is found to be 1.32 cm.
