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

How much heat must be added to make a 5g substance with a specific heat of 2 J/gC that has its temperature go up 10 degrees? Q =
zlopas [31]

Answer:

100 Joule

Explanation:

Amount of heat in agiven body is given by Q = m•C•ΔT

where m is the mass of the body

c is the specific heat capacity of body. It is the amount of heat stored in 1 unit weight of body which raises raises the temperature of body by 1 unit of temperature.

ΔT is the change in the temperature of body

___________________________________________

coming back to problem

m = 5g

C = 2J/gC

since, it is given that temperature of body increases by 10 degrees, thus

ΔT = 10 degrees

Using the formula for heat as given

Q = m•C•ΔT

Q = 5* 2 * 10  Joule= 100 Joule

Thus, 100 joule heat must be added to  a  5g substance with a specific heat of 2 J/gC to raise its temperature go up by 10 degrees.

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 7.2 Problems Using Mechanical Energy II. The Great Sandini is a 60.0-kg circus performer wh
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

v = 15.45 m/s

Explanation:

As per mechanical energy conservation we can say that here since friction is present in the barrel so we will have

Work done by friction force = Loss in mechanical energy

so we will have

W_f = (U_i + K_i) - (U_f + K_f)

here we know that

W_f = F_f . d

W_f = 40 \times 4

W_f = 160 J

Initial compression in the spring is given as

F = kx

4400 = 1100 x

x = 4 m

now from above equation

W_f = (\frac{1}{2}kx^2 + 0) - (mgh + \frac{1}{2}mv^2)

160 = (\frac{1}{2}1100(4^2) + 0) - (60 \times 9.8\times 2.50 + \frac{1}{2}(60)v^2)

160 = 8800 - 1470 - 30 v^2

v = 15.45 m/s
