The parallel plates in a capacitor, with a plate area of 8.50 cm2 and an air-filled separation of 3.00 mm, are charged by a 6.00 V battery. They are then disconnected from the battery and pulled apart (without discharge) to a separation of 8.00 mm. Neglecting fringing, find (a) the potential difference between the plates, (b) the initial stored energy, (c) the final stored energy, and (d) the work required to separate the plates

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

(a). The charge is $1.5045*10^(-11)\ C$

(b). The initial stored energy is $4.5135*10^(-11)\ J$

(c). The final stored energy is $12.036*10^(-11)\ J$

(d). The work required to separate the plates is $7.5225*10^(-11)\ J$

Explanation:

Given that,

Area = 8.50 cm²

Distance = 3.00 mm

Potential = 6.00 V

Distance without discharge = 8.00 mm

(a). We need to calculate the capacitance

Using formula of capacitance

$C_(1)=(\epsilon_(0)A)/(d)$

Put the value into the formula

$C_(1)=(8.85*10^(-12)*8.5*10^(-4))/(3.00*10^(-3))$

$C_(1)=2.5075*10^(-12)\ F$

We need to calculate the charge

Using formula of charge

$Q=CV$

Put the value into the formula

$Q=2.5075*10^(-12)*6.00$

$Q=1.5045*10^(-11)\ C$

(b). We need to calculate the initial stored energy

Using formula of initial energy

$E_(i)=(1)/(2)* CV^2$

$E_(i)=(1)/(2)*2.5075*10^(-12)*36$

$E_(i)=4.5135*10^(-11)\ J$

(c). We need to calculate the capacitance

Using formula of capacitance

$C_(2)=(\epsilon_(0)A)/(d)$

Put the value into the formula

$C_(2)=(8.85*10^(-12)*8.5*10^(-4))/(2*8.00*10^(-3))$

$C_(2)=9.403*10^(-13)\ F$

We need to calculate the final stored energy

Using formula of initial energy

$E_(f)=(1)/(2)* (Q^2)/(C)$

$E_(f)=(1)/(2)*((1.5045*10^(-11))^2)/(9.403*10^(-13))$

$E_(f)=12.036*10^(-11)\ J$

(d). We need to calculate the work done

Using formula of work done

$W=E_(f)-E_(i)$

Put the value in the formula

$W=12.036*10^(-11)-4.5135*10^(-11)$

$W=7.5225*10^(-11)\ J$

Hence, (a). The charge is $1.5045*10^(-11)\ C$

(b). The initial stored energy is $4.5135*10^(-11)\ J$

(c). The final stored energy is $12.036*10^(-11)\ J$

(d). The work required to separate the plates is $7.5225*10^(-11)\ J$

A pulley system has an efficiency of 74.2%. If you perform 200 J of work, howmuch useful work does the pulley perform?
A. 52 J
B. 113 J
C. 148 J
D. 200 J
SUBMI

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

If a pulley system has an efficiency of 74.2%, then only that fraction of the work performed will be useful. 74.2%=0.742. 0.742*200 is about 148J. Hope this helps!

Name three situations in which force is created. describe the cause of the force in each situation

Answers

One situation in which force is created is when an object is moving and a force is created to stop that movement. Second situation is when an object is moving circularly and a force is created to move it towards the middle of the circle. The third situation is when a force is created that goes in the same direction as an object that is in movement.

two small balls are suspended on parallel threads of the same length so that they touch each other in the vertical position. the mass of the first ball is 0.4kg and the mass of the second ball is 200g. the first ball is deflected so that its centre of mass rises to a height of 6cm and it is then released. to what maximal height will the 200g ball rise if the collision is elastic?

Answers

Answer: 12cm

Explanation:

Since first ball is raised to a height h1= 6cm, it gains a potential energy(PE1). On release, this PE1 is converted to kinetic Energy (KE1). This KE1 impact it energy on ball 2 ans it rise also. Since collision is elastic.

KE1 = KE2 ....> PE1 = PE2

m1 ×g × h1 = m2 × g× h2

h2 = m1×h1/m2

h2 = 0.4 × 0.06/0.2

h2 = 0.12m = 12cm
