Textbook Question

Chapter 8, Problem 66AP

Suppose that the capacitance of a variable capacitor can be manually changed from 100 to 800 pF by turning a dial connected to one set of plates by a shaft, from 0 ∘ to 180 ∘ . With the dial set at 180 ∘ (corresponding to C = 800 pF), the capacitor is connected to a 500-V source. After charging, the capacitor is disconnected from the source, and the dial is turned to 0°. (a) What is the charge on the capacitor? (b) What is the voltage across the capacitor when the dial is set to 0°?

3.90 ... CP A rocket designed to place small payloads into orbit is carried to an altitude of 12.0 km above sea level by a converted airliner. When the airliner is flying in a straight line at a constant speed of 850 km/h, the rocket is dropped. After the drop, the air- liner maintains the same altitude and speed and continues to fly in a straight line. The rocket falls for a brief time, after which its rocket motor turns on. Once its rocket motor is on, the combined effects of thrust and gravity give the rocket a constant acceleration of magnitude 3.00g directed at an angle of 30.0° above the hori- zontal. For reasons of safety, the rocket should be at least 1.00 km in front of the airliner when it climbs through the airliner's alti- tude. Your job is to determine the minimum time that the rocket must fall before its engine starts. You can ignore air resistance. Your answer should include (i) a diagram showing the flight paths of both the rocket and the airliner, labeled at several…

1. In an industrial fabrication process, a fluid, with density p = 800 kg/m and specific heat capacity c = 5000 J/kg-C°, emerges from a tank at a temperature, T, = 400 °C. The fluid then enters a metal pipe with inner radius a = 2.0 cm and outer radius b = 3.0 cm and thermal conductivity k = 180 W/m•C°. Outside the pipe the temperature is fixed at Tout = 15 °C. If the fluid flows at speed v = 8.0 m/s and the length of the pipe is L = 25 m, what is the temperature of the fluid at the end of the pipe? (Answer: 83 °C) please I need to show All work problems step by step
