In order to accelerate the dragster at a speed 
, its engine must do a work equal to the increase in kinetic energy of the dragster. Since it starts from rest, the initial kinetic energy is zero, so the work done by the engine to accelerate the dragster to 100 m/s is
however, we must take into account also the fact that there is a frictional force doing work against the dragster, and the work done by the frictional force is:
and the sign is negative because the frictional force acts against the direction of motion of the dragster.
This means that the total work done by the dragster engine is equal to the work done to accelerate the dragster plus the energy lost because of the frictional force, which is
:
So, the power delivered by the engine is the total work divided by the time, t=7.30 s:
And since 1 horsepower is equal to 746 W, we can rewrite the power as

Answer:
1) The total charge of the top plate is 0.008 C
b) The total charge of the bottom plate is -0.008 C
2) The electric field at the point exactly midway between the plates is 0
3) The electric field between plates is approximately 1.1294 × 10¹² N/C
4) The force on an electron in the middle of the two plates is approximately 1.807 × 10⁻⁷ N
Explanation:
The given parameters of the parallel plate capacitor are;
The dimensions of the plates = 4 × 2 cm
The distance between the plates = 10 cm
The surface charge density of the top plate, σ₁ = 10 C/m²
The surface charge density of the bottom plate, σ₂ = -10 C/m²
The surface area, A = 0.04 m × 0.02 m = 0.0008 m²
1) The total charge of the top plate, Q = σ₁ × A = 0.0008 m² × 10 C/m² = 0.008 C
b) The total charge of the bottom plate, Q = σ₂ × A = 0.0008 m² × -10 C/m² = -0.008 C
2) The electrical field at the point exactly midway between the plates is given as follows;
Therefore, we have;
The distance to the midpoint between the two plates = 10 cm/2 = 5 cm = 0.05 m
The electric field at the point exactly midway between the plates, = 0
3) The electric field, 'E', between plates is given as follows;
E ≈ 1.1294 × 10¹² N/C
The electric field between plates, E ≈ 1.1294 × 10¹² N/C
4) The force on an electron in the middle of the two plates
The charge on an electron, e = -1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C
The force on an electron in the middle of the two plates, = E × e
∴ = 1.1294 × 10¹² N/C × -1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C ≈ 1.807 × 10⁻⁷ N
The force on an electron in the middle of the two plates, ≈ 1.807 × 10⁻⁷ N
