Two large parallel conducting plates carry charges of equal magnitude and opposite charge. When you place a point charge q = +3.

60 nC between the plates, the force on the point charge is 22.0 μN. What is the magnitude of the surface charge density on either plate? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answer:

The magnitude of the surface charge density on either plate is approximately 5.41 × 10⁻⁸ C/(m²)

Explanation:

The magnitude of the charge on each of the conducting plates = Equal

The orientation of the charges on each plate = Opposite charges

The magnitude of the point charge placed between the plates = +3.60 nC

The force acting on the point charge, q = 22.0 μN

Therefore, we have;

F = E × q

E = F/q = 22.0 μN/+3.60nC = 6,111.1111 V/m

We have;

E = \dfrac{\rho }{\epsilon_0}

Where;

ρ = The surface charge density

ε₀ = Absolute permittivity ≈ 8.85 × 10⁻¹² C²/(N·m²)

Therefore, we have;

ρ = E × ε₀ = 6,111.1111 V/m × 8.85 × 10⁻¹² C²/(N·m²) = 5.40833332 × 10⁻⁸ C/(m²)

∴ The magnitude of the surface charge density on either plate, ρ ≈ 5.41 × 10⁻⁸ C/(m²).

Force (N) = 250<br> Mass (kg) = 221<br> Acceleration (m/s^2) = ?
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The required acceleration is a=1.1 m/s²

Explanation:

Given

  • Force F = 250 N
  • Mass m = 221 kg

To determine

Acceleration a = ?

We know that acceleration is produced when a force is applied to a body.

The acceleration can be determined using the formula

F = ma

where

  • F is the force
  • m is the mass
  • a is the acceleration

now substituting F = 250 , and m = 221 in the formula

F = ma

250 = 221 (a)

switch the equation

221(a) = 250

Divide both sides by 221

\frac{221a}{221}=\frac{250}{221}

simplify

a=\frac{250}{221}

a=1.1 m/s²

Therefore, the required acceleration is a=1.1 m/s²

What type of boundary is shown in the diagram?
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:Divergent boundaries -- where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other.

Convergent boundaries -- where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.

Transform boundaries -- where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.

Olivia is on a swing at the playground.
balu736 [363]

Olivia is on a swing at the playground. The kinetic energy is increasing and her potential energy decreasing at point X.

<h3>What is kinetic energy and potential energy?</h3>

The kinetic energy of an object is the ability to do work by virtue of its motion and potential energy is the ability to do work by virtue of its position.

At point W and Z, Olivia is at the maximum displacement from the mean position, where kinetic energy is zero and potential energy is maximum.

At point Y, it is approaching to increase its potential energy and decreasing kinetic energy. Opposite to this, at point X, kinetic energy is increasing and potential energy is decreasing.

Thus, the kinetic energy is increasing and her potential energy decreasing at point X.

A container with 3 kg of pure water at a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius is placed in a refrigerator where the air temperature
qaws [65]

Answer:

100 368 J

Explanation:

Heat lost by the water = heat gained by the air ( which the 'frige works to expel and keep at 4 degrees)

specific heat for water ( in joules) :  4182 J / kg-C

    3 kg *  4182 J / kg-C  * (12-4 C) = 100 368 J
