How do I learn the basics of physics

1 answer:

6 0

Physics is a natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force.
Matter is generally considered to be anything that has mass and volume.
Scientific laws and theories express the general truths of nature and the body of knowledge they encompass. These laws of nature are rules that all natural processes appear to follow.

A parallel-plate vacuum capacitor has 8.60 J of energy stored in it. The separation between the plates is 3.80 mm . If the separ

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Part a)

$E = \frac{8.60}{2.62} = 3.28 J$

Part b)

$E = 2.62(8.60) = 22.5 J$

Explanation:

As we know that the energy of capacitor when it is not connected to potential source is given as

$U = \frac{Q^2}{2C}$

As we know that initial energy is given as

$8.60 = \frac{Q^2}{2C}$

now we know that capacitance of parallel plate capacitor is given as

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

now the new capacitance when distance is changed from 3.80 mm to 1.45 mm

$C' = \frac{Cd}{d'}$

$C' = \frac{C(3.80)}{1.45}$

$C' = 2.62 C$

Now the new energy of the capacitor is given as

$E = \frac{Q^2}{2(2.62C)}$

$E = \frac{8.60}{2.62} = 3.28 J$

Part b)

Now if the voltage difference between the plates of capacitor is given constant

now the energy energy of capacitor is

$U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2$

$8.60 = \frac{1}{2}CV^2$

now when capacitance is changed to new value then new energy is given as

$E = \frac{1}{2}C'V^2$

$E = \frac{1}{2}(2.62C)V^2$

$E = 2.62(8.60) = 22.5 J$

A car (mass = 1200 kg) is traveling at 31.1 m/s when it collides head-on with a sport utility vehicle (mass = 2830 kg) traveling

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

13.18 m/s

Explanation:

Let the velocity of sports utility car is

-u as it is moving in opposite direction.

mc = 1200 kg, uc = 31.1 m/s

ms = 2830 kg, us = - u = ?

Using conservation of momentum

mc × uc + ms × us = 0

1200 × 31.1 - 2830 × u = 0

u = 13.18 m/s

How did ALS impact Stephen Hawking?

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Professor Hawking had just turned 21 when he was diagnosed with a very rare slow-progressing form of ALS, a form of motor neurone disease (MND). He was at the end of his time at Oxford when he started to notice early signs of his disease. He was getting more clumsy and fell over several times without knowing why.
