Answer:

The movement of thermal energy from a substance at a higher temperature to one at a lower temperature is called heat. When a substance is heated, it gains thermal energy. Therefore, its particles move faster and its temperature rises.

A 5.00-pf parallel-plate air-filled capacitor with circular plates is to be used in a circuit in which it will be subjected to p
r-ruslan [8.4K]

A 5 <em>pF</em> parallel-plate air-filled capacitor, with a potential difference equal to 100 Volts and an electric field of 10.000 Volts per meter, must have a plate separation of 10 milimeters, and plate's area equal to 0.0056 meters squared.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Capacitors are electrical components use to store electrical energy in the form of potential difference. This is done by putting 2 plates of a conductive material very close to each other, but without getting them into contact. The idea is that, when you charge one plate with (for example) positive charges, the other plate will "feel" this and will charge itself with negative charges (due to the attraction between charges of opposite signs).

The trick is that, even though the charges in the two plates attract each other, they can't come into contact since the 2 plates are separated by a certain distance. Now let's suppose there is only air between the capacitor's plates, we know that air is not a conductive material, however if you charge both plates just enough, you'll be able to make air conduct electricity and so charges from one plate will go to the other and equilibrium will be achieved.

This is the same thing that happens when a lightning strikes the ground. Imagine that the Earth is a gigantic capacitor, with the clouds being one plate and the ground being the other plate. When the clouds are charged enough, air is forced to conduct electricity towards the ground (which is the lightning we see), until equilibrium is achieved. This is the reason why, in Physics, we say that everything is a conductive material if you force it just enough.

Back to our problem... We can compute the separation of the capacitor's plates with the following equation:

V = E\cdot d

Which says that the Voltage <em>V</em> is equal to the product of the Electric field <em>E</em> and the distance between the plates <em>d</em>. This equation is valid if the electric field across the capacitor is constant (which for small magnitudes of <em>d</em> it is). So solving for the distance we get:

d= \frac{V}{E} = \frac{100}{10000} \frac{V}{V/m} = 0.01 m = 10 mm

Where we can see that the separation of plates is 10 millimeters. Now for the area between the plates we can use this other formula:

C= \frac{\epsilon \cdot A}{d}

Where \epsilon is the air's permittivity which has a value of around 8.86 \cdot 10^{-12} \frac{F}{m}. By solving for the plate's area, we can find:

A= \frac{C \cdot d}{\epsilon} = 0.0056 m^2 =

Which corresponds to a plate's radius of 42.4 millimeters.

A small ball is attached to one end of a rigid rod with negligible mass. The ball and the rod revolve in a horizontal circle wit
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

mass of the ball will be 1 kg

Explanation:

We have given force F = 0.5 N

This force must be equal to the centripetal force for the ball to revolve in the circle

So F=F_C=0.5N

Centripetal acceleration is given as a_c=0.5m/sec^2

We have to calculate the mass of the ball

We know that force is given by

F_C=ma_c

So 0.5=m\times 0.5

m = 1 kg

So mass of the ball will be 1 kg

Using an unmanned rocket to visit the space station requires 85.2 trillion BTU of energy. The best fuel for the mission will hav
Illusion [34]
We shall convert all of the densities to lbs/gal, so the product of
BTU/lbs and lbs/gal gives us the basis of comparison, which was "ratio of energy to volume".
grams / ml x 1 lbs/454 grams → 1 lbs/ 454 ml
1 lbs/454 ml x 3785.41 ml/gal → 3785.41 lbs/454gal
Conversion of g/ml = 8.34 lbs/gal
Looking at each fuel:

Kerosene:
18,500 x (8.34 x 0.82) = 126,517 BTU/gal

Gasoline:
20,900 x (8.34 x 0.737) = 128,463 BTU/gal

Ethanol:
11,500 x (8.34 x 0.789) = 75,673 BTU/gal

Hydrogen:
61,000 x (8.34 x 0.071) = 36,120 BTU/gal

The best fuel in terms of energy to volume ratio is Gasoline.
Gallons required:
BTU needed / BTU per gallon
= 85.2 x 10⁹ / 128,463
= 6.6 x 10⁵ gallons

Which of the following is not an indication of a chemical reaction? a substance dissolves formation of a precipitate color chang
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

a substance dissolves.  


like adding a soluble salt to water, it just dissolves, i.e dissociates homogeneously as water is able to dissociate salts (ionic compounds) into its ions. (it can also dissociate other non-ionic compounds like HCL)  


the salt still remains chemically as a salt and is unchanged chemically thus it is not an indication of a chemical reaction as no chemical reaction has taken place.  


the formation of a precipitate is a chemical reaction because a new substance (i.e new chemical) is formed. For example adding aqueous sodium hydroxide into an aqueous solution with CU2+ cations will form a blue precipitate (that is copper (II) hydroxide which is insoluble, hence it precipitates). Since a new chemical is formed, a chemical reaction has taken place and thus indicates a chemical reaction.  


color change... im not sure but usually a color change will only occur when a new substance is formed. Like iron corrodes (i.e rust) slowly in moist air to form hydrated iron (III) oxide that is rust. (brown color).  


usually adding a mixture to a mixture has little energy change, i.e little heat taken in by the reaction mixture or little heat given out by the reaction mixture. Whereas when a new substance is formed, there is usually noticeable energy change like the container gets colder or hotter (without heat being supplied of course). For example dissolving basic oxides into water releases energy ( more energy released than gained = exothermic reaction).  


i think that should be the answer... hope it helped :D
