Consider two parallel plate capacitors. The plates on Capacitor B have half the area as the plates on Capacitor A, and the plate
vichka [17]

Answer:

CB = 4.45 x 10⁻⁹ F = 4.45 nF

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by the following formula:

C = ε₀A/d

where,

C = Capacitance

ε₀ = Permeability of free space

A = Area of plates

d = Distance between plates

FOR CAPACITOR A:

C = CA = 17.8 nF = 17.8 x 10⁻⁹ F

A = A₁

d = d₁

Therefore,

CA = ε₀A₁/d₁ = 17.8 x 10⁻⁹ F   ----------------- equation 1

FOR CAPACITOR B:

C = CB = ?

A = A₁/2

d = 2 d₁

Therefore,

CB = ε₀(A₁/2)/2d₁

CB = (1/4)(ε₀A₁/d₁)

using equation 1:

CB = (1/4)(17.8 X 10⁻⁹ F)

<u>CB = 4.45 x 10⁻⁹ F = 4.45 nF</u>

A 72-kg boy is surfing and catches a wave which gives him an initial speed of 1.6 m/s. He then drops through a height of 1.61 m,
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

2849.98 J

Explanation:

From the question,

Work done by the boy = change Potential energy of the boy + change in kinetic energy of the boy

W = ΔP + ΔK..................... Equation 1

Where W = work done by the boy, ΔP = change in potential energy of the boy, ΔK = Change in kinetic energy of the boy.

But,

ΔP = mgΔh.................... Equation 2

ΔK = 1/2mΔv²................. Equation 3

Where m = mass of the boy, Δh = change in height of the boy, Δv = change in velocity of the boy.

Substitute equation 2 and 3 into equation 1

W = mgΔh+1/2mΔv²................. Equation 4

Given: m = 72 kg, Δh = 1.61 m, Δv = 8.5-1.6 = 6.9 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 4

W = 72(9.8)(1.61)+1/2(72)(6.9²)

W = 1136.016+1713.96

W = 2849.98 J

The site from which an airplane takes off is the origin. The X axis points east, the y axis points straight up. The position and
Contact [7]

Answer:

d = 3.5*10^4 m

Explanation:

In order to calculate the displacement of the airplane you need only the information about the initial position and final position of the airplane. THe initial position is at the origin (0,0,0) and the final position is given by the following vector:

\vec{r}=(1.21*10^3\hat{i}+3.45*10^4\hat{j})m

The displacement of the airplane is obtained by using the general form of the Pythagoras theorem:

d=\sqrt{(x-x_o)^2+(y-y_o)^2}   (1)

where x any are the coordinates of the final position of the airplane and xo and yo the coordinates of the initial position. You replace the values of all variables in the equation (1):

d=\sqrt{(1.12*10^3-0)^2+(3.45*10^4-0)^2}=3.45*10^4m

hence, the displacement of the airplane is 3.45*10^4 m

Proved that<br>V = u+at<br>​
kondaur [170]

Answer:

\sf Proof \ below

Explanation:

We know that acceleration is change in velocity over time.

\sf a=\frac{\triangle v}{t}

\sf a=\frac{v-u}{t}

v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity.

Solve for v.

Multiply both sides by t.

\sf at=v-u

Add u to both sides.

\sf at + u=v
