The parallel plates in a capacitor, with a plate area of 8.00 cm2 and an air-filled separation of 2.70 mm, are charged by a 8.70

V battery. They are then disconnected from the battery and pulled apart (without discharge) to a separation of 6.80 mm. Neglecting fringing, find (a) the potential difference between the plates, (b) the initial stored energy, (c) the final stored energy, and (d) the work required to separate the plates.

Answer:

a)  ΔV₁ = 21.9 V, b) U₀ = 99.2 10⁻¹² J, c) U_f = 249.9 10⁻¹² J,  d)  W = 150 10⁻¹² J

Explanation:

Let's find the capacitance of the capacitor

         C = \epsilon_o \frac{A}{d}

         C = 8.85 10⁻¹² (8.00 10⁻⁴) /2.70 10⁻³

         C = 2.62 10⁻¹² F

for the initial data let's look for the accumulated charge on the plates

          C = \frac{Q}{\Delta V}

          Q₀ = C ΔV

           Q₀ = 2.62 10⁻¹² 8.70

           Q₀ = 22.8 10⁻¹² C

a) we look for the capacity for the new distance

          C₁ = 8.85 10⁻¹² (8.00 10⁻⁴) /6⁴.80 10⁻³

          C₁ = 1.04 10⁻¹² F

       

          C₁ = Q₀ / ΔV₁

          ΔV₁ = Q₀ / C₁

          ΔV₁ = 22.8 10⁻¹² /1.04 10⁻¹²

          ΔV₁ = 21.9 V

b) initial stored energy

          U₀ = \frac{Q_o}{ 2C}

          U₀ = (22.8 10⁻¹²)²/(2  2.62 10⁻¹²)

          U₀ = 99.2 10⁻¹² J

c) final stored energy

          U_f = (22.8 10⁻¹²) ² /(2  1.04 10⁻⁻¹²)

          U_f = 249.9 10⁻¹² J

d) the work of separating the plates

as energy is conserved work must be equal to energy change

          W = U_f - U₀

          W = (249.2 - 99.2) 10⁻¹²

          W = 150 10⁻¹² J

note that as the energy increases the work must be supplied to the system

Which part of the manufacturing process involves heating and rolling blocks of steel into flat sheets and bars?
faltersainse [42]

A. Forming

Explanation:

Metal forming is a metallurgical process which involves heating and rolling blocks of steel into flat sheets and bars.

Metal forming is the process of working metals and utilizing its properties to form different shapes.

  • Metal forming is made possible by metallic bonds in metals.
  • The bulk of the physical properties of metals can be attributed to these bond types.
  • In metal forming, metals are shaped into different substances.
  • Metal forming preserves the mass of the metallic body and the shapes modified by force.

You are part of a design team assigned the task of making an electronic oscillator that will be the timing mechanism of a micro-
Snowcat [4.5K]

Solution :

We assume that there is a ring having a charge +Q and radius r. Electric field due to the ring at a point P on the axis is given by :

E_P=\int dE \cos

E_P=\int \frac{KdQ}{(\sqrt{r^2+x^2})^2}\times \frac{x}{\sqrt{r^2+x^2}}

\vec{E_P}=\frac{Kx}{r^2+x^2} \int dQ

\vec{E_P}=\frac{KxQ}{(r^2+x^2)^{3/2}} \hat{i}

If we put an electron on point P, then force on point e is :

\vec{F}=-|e|\vec{E_P}

F= \frac{-eKQx}{(r^2+x^2)^{3/2}}= \frac{-eKQx}{r^3[1+\frac{x^2}{r^2}]^{3/2}}

If r >> x , then    $\frac{x^2}{r^2} \approx 0$

Then,  $\frac{-eKQ}{r^3}x$

$ma =\frac{-eKQ}{r^3}x$

$a =\frac{-eKQ}{mr^3}x$

Compare, a = -ω²x

We get,

$\omega^2 = \frac{eKQ}{R^3m}$

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{eKQ}{r^3m}}$

$2 \pi f = \sqrt{\frac{eKQ}{r^3m}}$

$f = \frac{1}{2 \pi}\sqrt{\frac{eKQ}{mr^3}}$

A 0.0780 kg lemming runs off a
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

5.01 J

Explanation:

Info given:

mass (m) = 0.0780kg

height (h) = 5.36m

velocity (v) = 4.84 m/s

gravity (g) = 9.81m/s^2

1. First, solve for Kinetic energy (KE)

KE = 1/2mv^2

1/2(0.0780kg)(4.84m/s)^2 = 0.91 J

so KE = 0.91 J

2. Next, solve for Potential energy (PE)

PE = mgh

(0.0780kg)(9.81m/s^2)(5.36m) = 4.10 J

so PE = 4.10 J

3. Mechanical Energy , E = KE + PE

Plug in values for KE and PE

KE + PE = 0.91J + 4.10 J = 5.01 J

a swimmer can swim in still water at a speed of 9.50 m/s. he intends to swim directly across the river that has a downstream cur
Doss [256]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Still-water speed  = 9.5 m/s
River speed = 3.75 m/s down stream.

The velocity of the swimmer relative to the bank is the vector sum of his still-water speed and the speed of the river.

The velocity relative to the bank is
V = √(9.5² + 3.75²) = 10.21 m/s

The downstream angle is
θ = tan⁻¹ 3.75/9.5 = 21.5°

Answer:  10.2 m/s at 21.5° downstream.
