98J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of paint can = 5kg

Height of ladder = 2m

Unknown:

Work done = ?

Potential energy = ?

Solution:

Work done in moving the paint is the force applied under gravity to move it through the give height.

Potential energy is the energy due the position of a body at rest.

For this body:

The work done in moving the paint =  Potential energy at the top of ladder = m x  g x h

m is the mass of the pain can

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the building

Input the variables;

 Work done = 5 x 9.8 x 2 = 98J

Potential energy  = 98J

Answer:

5308.34 N/C

Explanation:

Given:

Surface density of each plate (σ) = 47.0 nC/m² = 47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2

Separation between the plates (d) = 2.20 cm

We know, from Gauss law for a thin sheet of plate that, the electric field at a point near the sheet of surface density 'σ' is given as:

E=\dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}

Now, as the plates are oppositely charged, so the electric field in the region between the plates will be in same direction and thus their magnitudes gets added up. Therefore,

E_{between}=E+E=2E=\frac{2\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}

Now, plug in  47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2 for 'σ' and 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m for \epsilon_0 and solve for the electric field. This gives,

E_{between}=\frac{47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2}{8.854\times 10^{-12}\ F/m}\\\\E_{between}= 5308.34\ N/C

Therefore, the electric field between the plates has a magnitude of 5308.34 N/C
