Answer:

d=1.84\ mm

Explanation:

<u>Capacitance</u>

A two parallel-plate capacitor has a capacitance of

\displaystyle C=\frac{\epsilon_o A}{d}

where

\epsilon_o=8.85\cdot 10^{-12}\ F/m

A = area of the plates = \pi r^2

d = separation of the plates

\displaystyle d=\frac{\epsilon_o A}{C}=\frac{\epsilon_o \pi r^2}{C}

We need to compute C. We'll use the circuit parameters for that. The reactance of a capacitor is given by

\displaystyle X_c=\frac{1}{wC}

where w is the angular frequency

w=2\pi f=2\pi \cdot 36000=226194.67\ rad/s

Solving for C

\displaystyle C=\frac{1}{wX_c}

The reactance can be found knowing the total impedance of the circuit:

Z^2=R^2+X_c^2

Where R is the resistance, R=15 K\Omega=15000\Omega. Solving for Xc

X_c^2=Z^2-R^2

The magnitude of the impedance is computed as the ratio of the rms voltage and rms current

\displaystyle Z=\frac{V}{I}

The rms current is the peak current Ip divided by \sqrt{2}, thus

\displaystyle Z=\frac{\sqrt{2}V}{I_p}

I_p=0.65\ mA/1000=0.00065\ A

Now collect formulas

\displaystyle X_c^2=Z^2-R^2=\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}V}{I_p}\right)^2-R^2

Or, equivalently

\displaystyle X_c=\sqrt{\frac{2V^2}{I_p^2}-R^2}

\displaystyle X_c=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot 18^2}{0.00065^2}-15000^2}

X_c=36176.34\ \Omega

The capacitance is now

\displaystyle C=\frac{1}{226194.67\cdot 36176.34}=1.22\cdot 10^{-10}\ F

The radius of the plates is

r=18\ cm/2=9 \ cm = 0.09 \ m

The separation between the plates is

\displaystyle d=\frac{8.85\cdot 10^{-12} \cdot \pi\cdot 0.09^2}{1.22\cdot 10^{-10}}

d=0.00184\ m

\boxed{d=1.84\ mm}

A ball is dropped from the top of a building.After 2 seconds, it’s velocity is measured to be 19.6 m/s. Calculate the accelerati
zlopas [31]

Answer:

acceleration, a = 9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

'A ball is dropped from the top of a building' indicates that the initial velocity of the ball is zero.

u = 0 m/s

After 2 seconds, velocity of the ball is 19.6 m/s.

t = 2s, v = 19.6 m/s

Using

v = u + at

19.6 = 0 + 2a

a = 9.8 m/s²
