Answer:

a. P.E = 3430Joules.

b. Workdone = 3430Nm

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass = 70kg

Distance = 5m

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s²

To find the potential energy;

Potential energy = mgh

P.E = 70*9.8*5

<em>P.E = 3430J</em>

b. To find the workdone;

Workdone = force * distance

But force = mass * acceleration

Force = 70*9.8

Force = 686 Newton.

Workdone = 686 * 5

<em>Workdone = 3430Nm</em>

A force is applied to an object at rest with a mass of 100kg. A force twice as large is applied to another object at rest with a
sukhopar [10]
According to Newton's second law. £Fext=m.a
then the acceleration of the second object will be twice as that of the first since the mass of both objects is equal(100kg) and the force F is doubled. Therefore the acceleration of object 2 will be more than that of object 1 (double)

hope this helps.

A parallel-plate capacitor has circular plates of 7.10 cm radius and 1.26 mm separation. What charge (in nC) will appear on the
erik [133]

Answer:

13.98 nC

Explanation:

Capacitance depends upon the area of the plates and their distance of separation.

Radius = r = 0.071 m

separation = d = 0.00126 m

C = \frac{\kappa  \epsilon _{o} A }{d}

here κ = 1 and ε₀ = 8.85 ₓ 10⁻¹² SI units , for free space.

Area = A = π r² = 0.0158 m²

C = [( 8.85 ₓ 10⁻¹² ) ( 0.0158) ]÷ (0.00126) = 1.11 x 10⁻¹⁰ F

Charge = Q = C V = ( 1.11 x 10⁻¹⁰ F )(126) = 13.98 nC

                   = 14 nC ( rounded to two significant digits)
