Lesechka [4]

Answer:

a) Q = 397.57 pC , Q = 3.18 104 pC , b) C = 1.157 10⁻¹⁰ F , V = 3.4375 V ,

c) U = 54.7 nJ , d) ΔU = 54 nJ,

Explanation:

a) The capacity of a capacitor is defined

C = Q / V

Q = C V

can also be calculated using geometry consideration

C = e or A / d

we reduce to the SI system

A = 25.0 cm² (1 m / 10² cm) 2 = 25.0 10⁻⁴ m²

d = 1.53 cm = 1.53 10⁻² m

we substitute

Q = eo A / d V

Q = 8.85 10⁻¹² 25 10⁻⁴ / 1.53 10⁻² 275

Q = 3.9757 10⁻¹⁰ C

let's reduce to pC

Q = 3.9757 10⁻¹⁰ C (10¹² pC / 1 C)

Q = 397.57 pC

when the capacitor is introduced into the water the dielectric constant is different

Q = k Q₀

Q = 80 397.57

Q = 3.18 104 pC

b) Find capacitance and voltage after submerged in water

C = k C₀

C = 80 8.85 10⁻¹² 25 10⁻⁴ / 1.53 10⁻²

C = 1.157 10⁻¹⁰ F

V = Vo / k

V = 275/80

V = 3.4375 V

c) The stored energy is

U = ½ C V²

U = ½, 85 10⁻¹² 25 10⁻⁴ / 1.53 10⁻² 275²

U = 5.47 10⁻⁸ J

let's reduce to nJ

109 nJ = 1 J

U = 54.7 nJ

d) energy after submerging

U = ½ (kCo) (Vo / k) 2

U = ½ Co Vo2 / k

U = U₀ / k

U = 54.7 / 80 nJ

U = 0.68375 nJ

the energy change is

ΔU = U₀ -U

ΔU = 54.7 - 0.687375

If a car travels 30 mi. north for 30 min., 60 mi. east for 1.0 hour, and 30 mi. south for 30 min., what is the average speed

Ainat [17]

Answer: 60mph

Explanation:

Given the following :

First leg travel:

Distance = 30 miles

Time of travel= 30 minutes = 0.5 hour

Second leg travel:

Distance = 60 miles

Time of travel = one hour

Average speed :

Speed = total Distance / time of travel

Total distance in miles = (30 + 60) miles = 90 miles

Total time of travel = 1 hour + 0.5 hour = 1.5 hours

Average speed = total distance traveled / total travel time

Average speed = 90 miles / 1.5 hours

Average speed = 60 miles / hour

= 60mph

An object is 15 cm in front of a diverging lens with a

Rainbow [258]

A) See ray diagram in attachment (-6.0 cm)

By looking at the ray diagram, we see that the image is located approximately at a distance of 6-7 cm from the lens. This can be confirmed by using the lens equation:

$\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}$

where

q is the distance of the image from the lens

f = -10 cm is the focal length (negative for a diverging lens)

p = 15 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

Solving for q,

$\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{-10 cm}-\frac{1}{15 cm}=-0.167 cm^{-1}$

$q=\frac{1}{-0.167 cm^{-1}}=-6.0 cm$

B) The image is upright

As we see from the ray diagram, the image is upright. This is also confirmed by the magnification equation:

$h_i = - h_o \frac{q}{p}$

where $h_i, h_o$ are the size of the image and of the object, respectively.

Since q < 0 and p > o, we have that $h_i >0$ , which means that the image is upright.

C) The image is virtual

As we see from the ray diagram, the image is on the same side of the object with respect to the lens: so, it is virtual.

This is also confirmed by the sign of q in the lens equation: since q < 0, it means that the image is virtual

What are disadvantages of using fossil fuels to generate electricity? Check all that apply.

laila [671]

Fossil fuels are non-renewable resources and create greenhouse gases. While cheaper now to burn fossil fuels, within fifty years we will run out and have to turn to other sources of energy. Hope this helps!!!

If the atoms of one object (initially neutral) have electrons rubbed off through friction with a second object, the first object

snow_lady [41]

Positive. The 1st object loses electrons and will thus have an imbalance of charge with loss of electrons.
