D. distance = 23 m, displacement = + 1 m
Explanation:
Let's remind the difference between distance and displacement:
- distance is a scalar, and is the total length covered by an object, counting all the movements in any direction
- displacement is a vector connecting the starting point and the final point of a motion, so its magnitude is given by the length of this vector, and its direction is given by the direction of this vector.
In this case, the distance covered by Karen is given by the sum of all its movements:
The displacement instead is given by the difference between the final point (1.0 m in front of the starting line) and the starting point (the starting line, 0 m):
Answer:
a) 4.33 pC b) 5.44*10² N/C
Explanation:
a) The vertical deflecting plates of an oscilloscope form a parallel-plate capacitor.
The value of the capacitance, for a parallel-plate capacitor with air dielectric, can be found to be as follows, applying Gauss' law to the surface of one of the plates, and assuming a uniform surface charge density:
C = ε₀*A / d
where ε₀ = 8.85*10⁻¹² F/m, A = (0.03m)², and d = 0.046 m (we assume that the informed value of 4.6 m is a typo, as no oscilloscope exists with this separation between plates).
Replacing by these values, we find the equivalent capacitance of the plates, as follows:
By definition, the capacitance of any capacitor can be expressed as follows:
where Q= charge on any of the plates, and V= potential difference between them.
As we know C and V, we can find Q as follows:
Q = C*V = 0.173*10⁻¹² F * 25.0 V = 4.33*10⁻¹² C = 4.33 pC
b) We can find the electric field in several ways, but one very easy is applying Gauss' Law to a pillbox with a face outside one of the plates (paralllel to it) and the other inside the surface.
The total electric flux through the surface must be equal to the enclosed charge, divided by ε₀.
If we look to the flux crossin any face, we find that the only one that has a non-zero flux, is the one outside the surface.
As the electric crossing the boundary must be normal to the surface (in electrostatic conditions, no tangential field can exist on the surface) , and we assume that the surface charge density that creates it is constant across the surface, we can write the Gauss ' Law as follows:
E*A = Q / ε₀
where A = area of the plate = (.03m)² = 9*10⁻⁴ m², Q= charge on one of the plates = 4.33*10⁻¹² C (as we found in a)) and ε₀ = 8.85*10⁻¹² N/C.
Replacing by these values, and solving for E, we have:
⇒ E = 5.44*10² N/C
