Question 11 of 29

A parallel-plate vacuum capacitor has 8.60 J of energy stored in it. The separation between the plates is 3.80 mm . If the separ

Answer:

Part a)

$E = \frac{8.60}{2.62} = 3.28 J$

Part b)

$E = 2.62(8.60) = 22.5 J$

Explanation:

As we know that the energy of capacitor when it is not connected to potential source is given as

$U = \frac{Q^2}{2C}$

As we know that initial energy is given as

$8.60 = \frac{Q^2}{2C}$

now we know that capacitance of parallel plate capacitor is given as

$C = \frac{\epsilon_0A}{d}$

now the new capacitance when distance is changed from 3.80 mm to 1.45 mm

$C' = \frac{Cd}{d'}$

$C' = \frac{C(3.80)}{1.45}$

$C' = 2.62 C$

Now the new energy of the capacitor is given as

$E = \frac{Q^2}{2(2.62C)}$

$E = \frac{8.60}{2.62} = 3.28 J$

Part b)

Now if the voltage difference between the plates of capacitor is given constant

now the energy energy of capacitor is

$U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2$

$8.60 = \frac{1}{2}CV^2$

now when capacitance is changed to new value then new energy is given as

$E = \frac{1}{2}C'V^2$

$E = \frac{1}{2}(2.62C)V^2$

$E = 2.62(8.60) = 22.5 J$

Answer:

The main reason for using light years, however, is because the distances we deal with in space are immense. If we stick to miles or kilometers we quickly run into unwieldy numbers just measuring the distance to the nearest star: a dim red dwarf called Proxima Centauri that sits a mere 24,000,000,000,000 miles away!

Consider an elevator with a table and a book on top of the table. The mass of the table is 10kg and the mass of the book is 2kg.

Step2247 [10]

Newton's second law allows us to find the force of the block on the table is 126 N

Newton's second law says that the net force is proportional to the product of the mass and the acceleration of the body

Σ F = m a

Where the bold letters indicate vectors, m is the mass and the acceleration of the body

A free body diagram is a diagram where the forces are represented without the details of the bodies, in the attached we can see a free body diagram of the system.

Let's start by finding the acceleration of the elevator with kinematics

v = v₀ + a t

a = $\frac{v-v_o}{a}$

Where v and v₀ are the current and initial velocity, respectively, at acceleration and t is the time

a = $\frac{8-1}{2}$

a = 3.5 m / s²

Let's write Newton's second law for each body

The book

N₂ - W₂ + N₁ = m a

Table

N₁ - W₁ - W₂ = M a

W₁ = Mg

W₂ = mg

N₁ = (M + m) g + M a

N₁ = (10 + 2) 9.8 + 10 3.5

N₁ = 152.6 N

This is the reaction of the earth to the support of the block and the table

N₂ = ma + m g - N₁

N₂ = m ( a +g) - N₁

N₂ = 2 (3.5 + 9.8) - 152.6

N₂ = 26.6 - 152.6

N₂ = -126 N

The negative sign indicates that the direction is opposite to the one assigned, this is the action of the block on the table.

In conclusion using Newton's second law we can find the forces of the block on the table is 126 N
