The potential difference across the parallel plate capacitor is 2.26 millivolts

<h3>Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor</h3>

The capacitance of the parallel plate capacitor is given by C = ε₀A/d where

  • ε₀ = permittivity of free space = 8.854 × 10⁻¹² F/m,
  • A = area of plates and
  • d = distance between plates = 4.0 mm = 4.0 × 10⁻³ m.

<h3>Charge on plates</h3>

Also, the surface charge on the capacitor Q = σA where

  • σ = charge density = 5.0 pC/m² = 5.0 × 10⁻¹² C/m² and
  • a = area of plates.

<h3>The potential difference across the parallel plate capacitor</h3>

The potential difference across the parallel plate capacitor is V = Q/C

= σA ÷ ε₀A/d

= σd/ε₀

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

V = σd/ε₀

V = 5.0 × 10⁻¹² C/m² × 4.0 × 10⁻³ m/8.854 × 10⁻¹² F/m

V = 20.0 C/m × 10⁻³/8.854 F/m

V = 2.26 × 10⁻³ Volts

V = 2.26 millivolts

So, the potential difference across the parallel plate capacitor is 2.26 millivolts

Which statement best explains how a planet affects the orbit of a comet as the comet passes by the planet?
mezya [45]
Comets orbit the sun just like planets do. Except a comet usually has a very elongated orbit. Thanks to the laws of gravity comets obey the same laws. A comets orbit takes it very close to the sun and then far away again.

In a race, Usain Bolt accelerates at
jeka94

Answer:

65.87 s

Explanation:

For the first time,

Applying

v² = u²+2as.............. Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance

From the question,

Given:  u = 0 m/s (from rest), a = 1.99 m/s², s = 60 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

v² = 0²+2(1.99)(60)

v² = 238.8

v = √238.8

v = 15.45 m/s

Therefore, time taken for the first 60 m is

t = (v-u)/a............ Equation 2

t = (15.45-0)/1.99

t = 7.77 s

For the final 40 meter,

t = (v-u)/a

Given: v = 0 m/s(decelerates), u = 15.45 m/s, a = -0.266 m/s²

Substitute into the equation above

t = (0-15.45)/-0.266

t = 58.1 seconds

Hence total time taken to cover the distance

T = 7.77+58.1

T = 65.87 s

Calculate the energy, wavelength, and frequency of the emitted photon when an electron moves from an energy level of -3.40 eV to
jasenka [17]

Answer:

(a) The energy of the photon is 1.632 x 10^{-8} J.

(b) The wavelength of the photon is 1.2 x 10^{-17} m.

(c) The frequency of the photon is 2.47 x 10^{25} Hz.

Explanation:

Let;

E_{1} = -13.60 ev

E_{2} = -3.40 ev

(a) Energy of the emitted photon can be determined as;

E_{2} - E_{1} = -3.40 - (-13.60)

           = -3.40 + 13.60

           = 10.20 eV

           = 10.20(1.6 x 10^{-9})

E_{2} - E_{1} = 1.632 x 10^{-8} Joules

The energy of the emitted photon is 10.20 eV (or 1.632 x 10^{-8} Joules).

(b) The wavelength, λ, can be determined as;

E = (hc)/ λ

where: E is the energy of the photon, h is the Planck's constant (6.6 x 10^{-34} Js), c is the speed of light (3 x 10^{8} m/s) and λ is the wavelength.

10.20(1.6 x 10^{-9}) = (6.6 x 10^{-34} * 3 x 10^{8})/ λ

λ = \frac{1.98*10^{-25} }{1.632*10^{-8} }

  = 1.213 x 10^{-17}

Wavelength of the photon is 1.2 x 10^{-17} m.

(c) The frequency can be determined by;

E = hf

where f is the frequency of the photon.

1.632 x 10^{-8}  = 6.6 x 10^{-34} x f

f = \frac{1.632*10^{-8} }{6.6*10^{-34} }

 = 2.47 x 10^{25} Hz

Frequency of the emitted photon is 2.47 x 10^{25} Hz.
