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

A 75.0-kg person is riding in a car moving at 20.0 m/s when the car runs into a bridge abutment. (a) calculate the average force
iragen [17]

(a) -1.5\cdot 10^6 N

First of all, we need to calculate the acceleration of the person, by using the following SUVAT equation:

v^2 -u ^2 = 2ad

where

v = 0 is the final velocity

u = 20.0 m/s is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

d = 1.00 cm = 0.01 m is the displacement of the person

Solving for a,

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2d}=\frac{0-20.0^2}{2(0.01)}=-20000 m/s^2

And the average force on the person is given by

F=ma

with m = 75.0 kg being the mass of the person. Substituting,

F=(75)(-20000)=-1.5\cdot 10^6 N

where the negative sign means the force is opposite to the direction of motion of the person.

b) -1.0\cdot 10^5 N

In this case,

v = 0 is the final velocity

u = 20.0 m/s is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

d  = 15.00 cm = 0.15 m is the displacement of the person with the air bag

So the acceleration is

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2d}=\frac{0-20.0^2}{2(0.15)}=-1333 m/s^2

So the average force on the person is

F=ma=(75)(-1333)=-1.0\cdot 10^5 N

who brought astronomy out of the dark ages by declaring: "finally we shall place the sun himself at the center of the universe.
solong [7]

Nicolaus Copernicus was the one who brought astronomy out of the dark ages.

In one of his books "On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies", he published the renowned line which declares his theory.

Nicolaus Copernicus, A polish astronomer put forward the theory that the is th Sun one that rests in the middle or center of the Universe and the planet Earth revolves around it on its axis every day.which was considered to be called the Heliocentric system.

If the value of the resistor r2 were doubled, how would the value of the resistor r3 have to change in order to keep the current
Reika [66]

This is a Wheatstone bridge, and the ratio of R2 to R1 equals the ratio of Rx to R3. As a result, if R2 is increased, R3 should be reduced by a factor of two.

<h3>Explain Wheatstone bridge?</h3>

A Wheatstone bridge is a type of electrical circuit that is used to measure an unknown electrical resistance by balancing two legs of a bridge circuit, one of which contains the unknown component.

The Wheatstone bridge circuit can be used to compare an unknown resistance RX to others of known value, such as R1 and R2, which have constant values and R3 which can be variable.

If we connected a voltmeter, ammeter, or galvanometer between points C and D, and then changed resistor R3 until the meters read zero, the two arms would be balanced, and the value of RX (substituting R4) would be known as indicated.
