Transcribed Image Text:Oppositely charged parallel plates are separated by 4.78 mm. A potential difference of 600 V exists between the plates.
(a) What is the magnitude of the electric field between the plates?
N/C
(b) What is the magnitude of the force on an electron between the plates?
(c) How much work must be done on the electron to move it to the negative plate if it is initially positioned 2.94 mm from the positive plate?

In order to reduce fuel usage to meet with newly imposed fuel-consumption regulations, you are hoping to use the electric interaction between charges to your advantage. You have decided on the design below. You are able to place two Q = 1.98 C charges in the rocket ship and into the launching platform so that they are separated by a distance of yo = 2.93 m. You are allowed enough fuel to boost the rocket to an initial speed of vo = 309 m/s without accounting for the extra boost from the charges. The rocket on its own has a mass of 2.095x104 kg. The more equipment you can attach to your weather balloon (which is inside the rocket), the better. What limit do you put on the mass of the weather balloon and attached equipment? You may want to know the formula for gravitational potential energy for an object of mass m and height h: Egray = mgh, where g=9.81 m/s?. Edge of…arrow_forward
