Consider a capacitor made of two rectangular metal plates of length and width , with a very small gap between the plates. There

is a charge on one plate and a charge on the other. Assume that the electric field is nearly uniform throughout the gap region and negligibly small outside. Calculate the attractive force that one plate exerts on the other. Remember that one of the plates doesn't exert a net force on itself. (Enter the magnitude. Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: r0.)

Answer:

F= σ² L² /2ε₀

F = (L² ε₀/4π)   ΔV² / r⁴

Explanation:

a)  For this exercise we can use Coulomb's law

          F = - k Q² / r²

where the negative sign indicates that the force is attractive and the value of the charge is equal to the two plates

Capacitance is defined by

         C = Q / ΔV

        Q = C ΔV

also the capacitance for a parallel plate capacitor is related to its shape

         C = ε₀ A / r

we substitute

         Q = ε₀ A ΔV / r

we substitute in the force equation

            F = k (ε₀ A ΔV / r)² / r²

           k = 1 / 4πε₀

           F = ε₀ /4π  L² ΔV² / r⁴4

           F = L² ΔV² ε₀/ (4π r⁴)

           F = (L² ε₀/4π)   ΔV² / r⁴

b) Another way to solve the exercise is to use the relationship between the force and the electric field

          F = q E

where we can calculate the field created by a plane using Gaussian law, where we use a cylinder with a base parallel to the plate as the Gaussian surface

           Ф = ∫E .dA = q_{int} / ε₀

the plate have two side

           2E A = q_{int} / ε₀

              E = σ / 2ε₀

               σ = q_{int} / A

               

substituting in force

          F = q σ / 2ε₀

the charge total on the other plate is

       q = σ A

       q = σ  L²

      F= σ² L² /2ε₀

A 150 g particle at x = 0 is moving at 8.00 m/s in the +x-direction. As it moves, it experiences a force given by Fx=(0.850N)sin
krok68 [10]

Answer:

9.98 m/s

Explanation:

The force acting on the particle is defined by the equation:

F=(0.850) sin (\frac{x}{2.00}) [N]

where x is the position in metres.

The acceleration can be found by using Newton's second law:

a=\frac{F}{m}

where

m = 150 g = 0.150 kg is the mass of the particle. Substituting into the equation,

a=\frac{0.850}{0.150}sin (\frac{x}{2.00})=5.67 sin(\frac{x}{2.00}) [m/s^2]

When x = 3.14 m, the acceleration is:

a=5.67 sin(\frac{3.14}{2.00})=5.67 m/s^2

Now we can find the final speed of the particle by using the suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2ax

where

u = 8.00 m/s is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

a=5.67 m/s^2

x = 3.14 m is the displacement

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{u^2+2ax}=\sqrt{8.00^2+2(5.67)(3.14)}=9.98 m/s

And the speed is just the magnitude of the velocity, so 9.98 m/s.

A shuttle on Earth has a mass of 4.5 E 5 kg. Compare its weight on Earth to its weight while in orbit at a height of 6.3 E 5 met
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

83%

Explanation:

On the surface, the weight is:

W = GMm / R²

where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth, m is the mass of the shuttle, and R is the radius of the Earth.

In orbit, the weight is:

w = GMm / (R+h)²

where h is the height of the shuttle above the surface of the Earth.

The ratio is:

w/W = R² / (R+h)²

w/W = (R / (R+h))²

Given that R = 6.4×10⁶ m and h = 6.3×10⁵ m:

w/W = (6.4×10⁶ / 7.03×10⁶)²

w/W = 0.83

The shuttle in orbit retains 83% of its weight on Earth.

A basketball with mass of 0.8 kg is moving to the right with velocity 6 m/s and hits a volleyball with mass of 0.6 kg that stays
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

26.67 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, the initial sum of momentum equals the final sum.

p=mv where p is momentum, m is the mass of object and v is the speed of the object

Initial momentum

The initial momentum will be that of basketball and volleyball, Since basketball is initially at rest, its initial velocity is zero

p_i= m_bv_b+m_vv_v=8*6+0.6*0=48 Kg.m/s

Final momentum

p_f= m_bv_b+m_vv_v=8*4+0.6*v_v=32+0.6v Kg.m/s\\32+0.6v_v=48\\0.6v=16\\v_v=16/0.6=26.66666667\approx 26.67 m/s

SashulF [63]
F=ma

For the first (10kg) cart,
12=10a
a=6/5 m/s^2 to the left

For the second (5kg) cart,
8=5a
a=8/5 m/s^2 to the left

Therefore, the lighter (5kg) cart experiences a greater acceleration.
