A 2.98 nF parallel-plate capacitor is charged to an initial potential difference of 49 V and then isolated. The dielectric mater

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Potential difference will be 151.9 volt

Explanation:

We have given capacitance of the capacitor $C=2.98nF=2.98\times 10^{-9}F$

Voltage V = 49 Volt

Dielectric constant K = 3.1

We have to find the potential difference

We know that when a dielectric medium is introduced then p[otential difference is increases by k times

As the dielectric constant k = 3.1

So potential difference will be = 3.1×49 = 151.9 volt

Carbon is allowed to diffuse through a steel plate 11 mm thick. The concentrations of carbon at the two faces are 0.88 and 0.41

Serhud [2]

Answer:

The temperature is 2584.5 K

Explanation:

Given:

Activation energy $Q = 80000$ $\frac{J}{mol}$

Preexponential $D= 6.2 \times 10^{-7}$ $\frac{m^{2} }{s}$

Diffusion flux $J = 6.4 \times 10^{-10}$ $\frac{kg}{m^{2} s}$

Thickness of plate $\Delta x = 11 \times 10^{-3}$ m

Concentration of carbon at two faces $\Delta C = (0.88 - 0.41 ) = 0.47$ $\frac{kg}{m^{3} }$

From the formula of temperature in terms of diffusion flux,

$T = (\frac{Q}{R} ) \frac{1}{\ln (\frac{D\Delta C}{J\Delta x} )}$

Where $R =$ 8.314 $\frac{J}{mol.K}$ ( gas constant )

Put the values and find the temperature,

$T = (\frac{80000}{8.314} ) \frac{1}{\ln (\frac{6.2 \times 10^{-7} \times 0.47 }{6.4 \times 10^{-10}\times 11 \times 10^{-3} } )}$

$T = 2584.5$ K

Therefore, the temperature is 2584.5 K

omeli [17]

Answer:

14 cm

Explanation:

F = (frac{uv}{u – v})

F = +ve

v = -ve

30 = (frac {25 {times} (-v)}{25 – (-v)})

v = (frac {25 {times} (-v)}{25+v})

v = 14cm

(Note that either negative or positive values go to show the positioning and hence, they are not a strong necessity in your final answer.)

So happy that i could help you!

Now this question could turn out to be easy for you!!

2013 Indianapolis 500 champion Tony Kanaan holds his hand out of his IndyCar while driving through still air with standard atmos

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

(a). The pressure is 14.76 psi.

(b). The pressure is 15.59 psi.

(c). The pressure is 15.68 psi.

All answer are reasonable.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed v₁= 60 mph

Speed v₂ = 225 mph

Speed v₃ = 235 mph

(a). We need to calculate the maximum pressure on his hand

Using equation of pressure

$P_{1}=P+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v^2+\rho gh$

there, no vertical movement

So, on neglect of height term

$P_{1}=P+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2$

Where, P= atmospheric pressure

$\rho$ = air density

v = speed

Put the value in the equation

$P_{1}=14.7\times144+\dfrac{1}{2}\times(0.002376\times(60\times1.4667)^2)$

$P_{1}=2126.0\ lb/ft^2$

$P_{1}=\dfrac{2126.0}{144}$

$P_{1}= 14.76\ psi$

(b). Speed v₂ = 225 mph

We need to calculate the maximum pressure on his hand

Using equation of pressure

$P_{2}=P+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{2}^2$

Put the value in the equation

$P_{2}=14.7\times144+\dfrac{1}{2}\times(0.002376\times(225\times1.4667)^2)$

$P_{2}=2246.17\ lb/ft^2$

$P_{2}=\dfrac{2246.17}{144}$

$P_{2}= 15.59\ psi$

(c). Speed v₃ = 235 mph

We need to calculate the maximum pressure on his hand

Using equation of pressure

$P_{3}=P+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{3}^2$

Put the value in the equation

$P_{3}=14.7\times144+\dfrac{1}{2}\times(0.002376\times(235\times1.4667)^2)$

$P_{3}=2257.93\ lb/ft^2$

$P_{3}=\dfrac{2257.93}{144}$

$P_{3}= 15.68\ psi$

According to bernoulli's equation,

If the car increases the velocity the the pressure on the surface of the driver's hand increases.

The pressure from P₁ to P₃ are all near the value of one atmosphere.

So, the pressure difference of one atmosphere is not enough to break the driver's hand.

Hence, (a). The pressure is 14.76 psi.

(b). The pressure is 15.59 psi.

(c). The pressure is 15.68 psi.

All answer are reasonable.
