AI Thread Summary
To find the permittivity of acetate, the relationship between the dielectric constant and permittivity is essential. The dielectric constant (k) is defined as the ratio of the permittivity of the material (ε) to the permittivity of vacuum (ε₀). Given k=3.4, the equation ε = k * ε₀ can be used, where ε₀ is approximately 8.854 x 10⁻¹² F/m. By substituting the values, the permittivity of the acetate sheet can be calculated. Understanding these relationships is crucial for solving capacitor-related problems in physics.

Homework Statement


The question goes as follows: A simple capacitor consists of two square sheets of aluminium foil separated by a thin sheet of acetate. The foil is 31.6 cm on a side and the acetate is 0.5 cm thick, with a dielectric constant k= 3.4

What is the permittivity ε of the acetate sheet?

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...

Thread 'Struggle to understand the concept of the question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
