Consider two closely spaced and oppositely charged parallel metal plates. The plates are square with sides of length L and carry

charges Q and -Q on their facing surfaces. What is the magnitude of the electric field in the region between the plates

Answer:

  E_ {total} = \frac{Q }{L^2 \epsilon_o}

Explanation:

In this exercise you are asked to calculate the electric field between two plates, the electric field is a vector

         E_ {total} = E₁ + E₂

         E_ {total} = 2 E

where E₁ and E₂ are the fields of each plate, we have used that for the positively charged plate the field is outgoing and for the negatively charged plate the field is incoming, therefore in the space between the plates for a test charge the two fields point in the same direction

to calculate the field created by a plate let's use Gauss's law

          Ф = ∫ E . dA = q_{int} /ε₀

As a Gaussian surface we use a cylinder with the base parallel to the plate, therefore the direction of the electric field and the normal to the surface are parallel, therefore the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product.

           E 2A = q_{int} / ε₀

where the 2 is due to the surface has two faces

indicate that the surface has a uniform charge for which we can define a surface density

           σ = q_{int} / A

           q_{int} = σ A

we substitute

           E 2A = σ A /ε₀

           E = σ / 2ε₀  

therefore the total field is

           E_ {total} = σ /ε₀

let's substitute the density for the charge of the whole plate

           σ= Q / L²

           

            E_ {total} = \frac{Q }{L^2 \epsilon_o}

A car is making a 40 mi trip. It travels the first half of the total distance 20.0 mi at 18.00 mph and the last half of the tota
sukhopar [10]

Answer: The average speed is 27,24 mph (exactly 1008/37 mph)

Explanation:

This is solved using a three rule: We know the speeds and the distances, what we can obtain from it is the time used. It is done like this:

1h--->18mi

X ---->20 mi, then X=20mi*1h/18mi= 10/9 h=1,111 h

1h--->56mi

X ---->20 mi, then X=20mi*1h/56mi= 5/14 h=0,35714 h

Then the average speed is calculated by taking into account that it was traveled 40mi and the time used was 185/126 h=1,468 h and since speed is distance over time we get the answer. Average speed= 40mi/(185/126 h)=1008/37 mph=27,24 mph.

Y_Kistochka [10]
B.False

Einstein's vision of GR is NOT that somehow Gravity comes along and alters (indents?) some existing structure.
It is that Gravity (with its four possible sources) actually determines the entire global structure of Space-Time in which such sources are extant.
