- Physics different from a sea breeze from a land breezearrow_forwardFile Preview Design a capacitor for a special purpose. After graduating from medical school you and a friend take a three hour cruise to celebrate and end up stranded on an island. While looking for food, a spider falls on your friend giving them a heart attack. Recalling your physics, you realize you can build a make-shift defibrillator by constructing a capacitor from materials on the boat and charging it using the boat's battery. You know that the capacitor must hold 100 J of energy and be at 1000 V (fortunately this is an electric boat which has batteries that are 1000 V) to work. You decide to construct the capacitor by tightly sandwiching a single layer of Saran wrap between sheets of aluminum foil. You read the Saran wrap box and fortunately they tell you that it has a thickness 0.01 mm and dielectric constant of 2.3. The Saran wrap and foil are 40 cm wide and very long. How long is the final capacitor you build that saves your friend?arrow_forwardHow do I plot the force F in Matlba (of gravity pulling on the masses) versus spring displacement, and fit the data with a linear function to find the value for the spring constant.
