(a) Explanation Given info: The mass of the block is 0.341 kg , the mass of the wad of putty is 0.0567 kg and the speed by which wad putty hit the block is 8.05 m / s . Since it says the wad of putty sticks to block that means when the putty hits the block it is considered as inelastic collision. For the conservation of mechanical energy, ( potential energy + kinetic (b) To determine The height of the putty block system after the collision.

Helmholtz Free Energy

The Helmholtz free energy is a thermodynamic potential used to calculate the measure of useful work from a closed system. This system is kept at constant temperature and volume. German physicist Hermann Helmholtz introduced this concept in 1882.

Tutorial Exercise An air-filled spherical capacitor is constructed with an inner-shell radius of 6.95 cm and an outer-shell radius of 14.5 cm. (a) Calculate the capacitance of the device. (b) What potential difference between the spheres results in a 4.00-μC charge on the capacitor? Part 1 of 4 - Conceptualize Since the separation between the inner and outer shells is much larger than a typical electronic capacitor with separation on the order of 0.1 mm and capacitance in the microfarad range, we expect the capacitance of this spherical configuration to be on the order of picofarads. The potential difference should be sufficiently low to avoid sparking through the air that separates the shells. Part 2 of 4 - Categorize We will calculate the capacitance from the equation for a spherical shell capacitor. We will then calculate the voltage found from Q = CAV.

I need help figuring out how to do part 2 with the information given in part 1 and putting it in to the simulation. ( trying to match the velocity graph from the paper onto the simulation to find the applied force graph) Using this simulation https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/cheerpj/forces-1d/latest/forces-1d.html?simulation=forces-1d.

I need help running the simulation to get the result needed.
